Penile augmentation with injection of paraffin is a common practice in South East Asia. Penile paraffinoma occurring due to injection of liquid paraffin to enhance the size of the penis is an uncommon condition. Normally, this procedure is carried out by nonmedical personnel, without the prior knowledge or consultation of any urologist. The occurrence of such a deforming procedure is not common...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles surface-modified by octadecyltrimethoxysilane (commercial name WD-11) are prepared via in situ surface-modification in dehydrated ethanol at room temperature. As-obtained TiO2 nanoparticles are characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The tribological proper...

Thermophysical properties of phase change materials (PCM) are of utmost importance in latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) applications. Therefore, an experimental study is conducted in order to determine thermophysical properties of five technical grade paraffin waxes produced by major Croatian oil company, INA d.d. Rijeka. The temperatures and enthalpies of melting and solidification (l...

To address the drawback of low thermal conductivity conventional organic phase change materials (PCMs), a paraffin-wax-based composite (PCC) was assembled via vacuum impregnation method, using new type carbon fiber network material as supporting matrix. The sheet (CFS) exhibited structure comprising high-thermal-conductivity fibers, beneficial for enhancing heat transfer properties PCC. sheet-s...
