Effects of Nanoparticle Interfacial Additives on Phase Inversion of Pickering Emulsions
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)Understanding the effects of interfacial additives such as surface-active nanoparticles on phase inversion of Pickering emulsions is important from a practical point of view. In this work, we studied the effects of ... -
Foam as a Vehicle for Nanoparticle Delivery in Unsaturated Porous Media
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-23)Accidental releases, spills, and leaks of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), such as gasoline and jet fuel, can result in subsurface contamination. PHCs that become entrapped as a residual light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) ... -
Interactions between drag reducing polymers and surfactants
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-30)Drag reduction in turbulent pipe flow using polymeric and surfactant additives is well known. Although extensive research work has been carried out on the drag reduction behavior of polymers and surfactants in isolation, ... -
Investigations on Drag Reduction by Interactions between Polymer and Surfactant and Polymer and Polymer
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-22)A large amount of studies have been carried out on pipeline flow with several kinds of drag reducing agents, especially polymers and surfactants. Drag reducing agents, by definition, are additives which help suppress or ... -
A study of Nanofilled Silicone Dielectrics for Outdoor Insulation
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-04)Polymeric insulators are now a common replacement for conventional porcelain and glass string insulators on overhead distribution and transmission lines. The use of this mature technology represents many advantages to the ... -
Synthesis of β-Cyclodextrin Functionalized Cellulose Nanocrystals and Their Interactions with Amphiphilic Compounds
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-19)Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) obtained from acid hydrolysis of cellulose fibres has attracted enormous interests due to its large surface area, high negative surface charge density, potential functionalities from modifications ...
