SOLUBILITY AND MISCIBILITY OF REFRIGERANTS R407C AND R410A WITH SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OILS
In this paper, solubility and low temperature miscibility of refrigerants R407C and R410A in four different commercial Polyolester (POE) lubricants, produced by the same company but with different ISO standard viscosity grade, are measured with the aim ...

Solvent-induced micelle formation in a hydrophobic interaction model
We investigate the aggregation of amphiphilic molecules by adapting the two-state Muller-Lee-Graziano model for water, in which a solvent-induced hydrophobic interaction is included implicitly.

Autonomous and Continuous Atmospheric Water Harvesting Using Modified Wood
A rigid, hydroxyl‐rich wood skeleton with graded channels is used as a multifunctional host to co‐incorporate a PNipam/PAA network and LiCl, creating a high‐performance sorbent for atmospheric water harvesting. The composite achieves rapid sorption, efficient low‐temperature desorption, and stable cycling, enabling a solar‐powered device with a high ...

Effect of LCST on the swelling of PAAm-NIPA copolymers: a fluorescence study
Temperature sensitive copolymers were prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization in aqueous solution with different molar percentage of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and acrylamide (AAm) monomers. N,N′-methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) were used as a crosslinker and an initiator, respectively.
