Oil-Impregnated Hydrocarbon-Based Polymer Films [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
AbstractPorous surfaces impregnated with a liquid lubricant exhibit minimal contact angle hysteresis with immiscible test liquids, rendering them ideal as self-cleaning materials. Rather than roughening a solid substrate, an increasingly popular choice is to use an absorbent polymer as the “porous” material.

Fuzzy logic based model to predict maximum oil-film pressure in journal bearing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Oil-film pressure response is one of the key parameters that describe the operating conditions in hydrodynamic lubrication regimes. In the present study, a fuzzy logic model is developed to predict the maximum oil-film pressure in hydrodynamic plain ...

Exploring an Alternative to mRNA Vaccine Cold Chain Storage: MRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticle Stability When Dried in a Polymer Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.

Effect of Molecular Structure of Oil on the Film Thickness during Rolling

open access: yesTribology Online, 2009
In recent years, metal working oil is required to have lower viscosity and higher lubricity than ever. Controlling oil film thickness is one of the most important in metal working.

Atomized Oxidative Polymerization as a 3D Printing Platform for Binder‐Free, Bulk Conductive Polymer Architectures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐delivery of electrosprayed EDOT and oxidant enables bulk oxidative polymerization during layer‐by‐layer fabrication, creating stable, highly conductive 3D PEDOT structures. This Atomized Oxidative Polymerization (AOP) overcomes the surface deposition‐only and matrix‐limited conductivity of conventional Vapor Phase Polymerization (VPP) and PEDOT:PSS ...

Measurement of the film thickness, film velocity and entrainment fraction in a liquid-air annular flow using a conductance flowmeter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In certain older oil wells in the Middle East, the produced fluid is predominantly natural gas which flows at very high rates (e.g. 50,000). Smaller quantities of crude oil (e.g. 50) and water (950) are also produced.
