Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitrile Rubber in High Concentration Solution
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-24)Chemical modification is an important way to improve the properties of existing polymers, and one of the important examples is the hydrogenation of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) in organic solvent by homogeneous catalysis ... -
Effects of Mixed Stabilizers (Nanoparticles and Surfactant) on Phase Inversion and Stability of Emulsions
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-24)Immiscible dispersions of oil and water are encountered in many industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum. Phase inversion is a key phenomenon that takes place in such systems whereby the dispersed phase and ... -
Evaluation of Hybrid Electrically Conductive Adhesives
(University of Waterloo, 2016-10-13)An electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) is a composite material acting as a conductive paste, which consists of a thermoset loaded with conductive fillers (typically silver (Ag)). Many works that focus on this line of ... -
In-Situ Continuous Monitoring of Catastrophic Phase Inversion and Viscosity of Pickering Emulsions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-22)Emulsions are used in the various field such as petroleum, pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, paints, etc. Emulsions stabilized with solid nanoparticles are called Pickering emulsions. More recently, a growing awareness ... -
A Study of the Structure and Dynamics of Smectic 8CB Under Mesoscale Confinement
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)The structure and dynamics of the smectic-A liquid crystal 8CB (4 cyano-4 octylbiphenyl) when sheared and confined to mesoscale gaps (with crossed cylindrical geometry and mica confining surfaces) were studied using a ... -
Variational Stokes with Polynomial Reduced Fluid Model
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-21)Standard fluid simulators often apply operator splitting to independently solve for pressure and viscous stresses. This decoupling, however, induces incorrect free surface boundary conditions. Such methods are unable to ...
