[ad_1] Abstract The current work aims to study the influence of thermal-resistance (R) and the time constant (τ) in phase change properties of carbon flake-based phase change materials (CPCM) experimentally. The CPCMs were prepared using chemically functionalized graphene flake (f-GP) in three various mass fractions (0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%) suspended in deionized (DI) water. The…
[ad_1] Chronic exposure to trace micropollutants found in water, food and the environment poses a serious threat to public health and the economy. Indeed, some recalcitrant pesticides and hormones mimic neuronal receptors and can impair biological functions, causing cognitive and neuronal diseases. Removing and degrading these pollutants from the environment is challenging. Membrane technologies such…

[ad_1] Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) It is known that Albert Einstein constructed equations of general relativity by adopting Riemann geometry. In addition to the key role it played in mathematics and physics, Riemann geometry has provided predictions for the properties of curved carbon materials. However, synthesis of such complicated carbon materials with Riemann surfaces…
