Binary vs. Ternary Reactivity Ratios: Appropriate Estimation Procedures with Terpolymerization Data
Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (Elsevier, 2018-08-01)There is a widely accepted analogy between copolymerization and terpolymerization mechanisms that has allowed researchers to use reactivity ratios obtained for binary pairs (from copolymerization experiments) in models ... -
Binary vs. ternary reactivity ratios: Appropriate estimation procedures with terpolymerization data
Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (Elsevier, 2018-08-01)There is a widely accepted analogy between copolymerization and terpolymerization mechanisms that has allowed researchers to use reactivity ratios obtained for binary pairs (from copolymerization experiments) in models ... -
Design of Polymeric Materials: Experiences and Prescriptions
Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2020-12-23)As process engineering has matured, research interest has shifted towards polymer product quality. In the past 20 years or so, the shift has progressed even further, as interest in polymer product quality has morphed into ... -
Designing Optimal Terpolymers for Enhanced Oil Recovery (Polymer Flooding)
Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (ACS, 2020-03-20)Terpolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) have significant potential to be used in polymer flooding for enhanced oil recovery. Our earlier work has explored ... -
Evaluation of Doped and Undoped Poly (o-anisidine) as Sensing Materials for a Sensor Array for Volatile Organic Compounds
Stewart, Katherine M. E.; Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2020-06-02)Poly (o-anisidine) (PoANI) and PoANI doped with nickel oxide and zinc oxide were evaluated as sensing materials for four gas analytes (methanol, ethanol, acetone, and benzene). The sensing materials had high sensitivity ... -
Hierarchical Data Analysis for the Characterization of Polymeric Materials: Linking Measurements and Statistical Methodology
Filipovic, Nicholas; Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander (ASEE, 2021-01-01)As future chemical engineers, it is important that students be able to identify and quantify sources of error. A statistical analysis technique that is often overlooked is hierarchical design methodology, which allows for ... -
The Role of pH, Ionic Strength and Monomer Concentration on the Terpolymerization of 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane Sulfonic Acid, Acrylamide and Acrylic Acid
Scott, Alison J.; Duever, Thomas A.; Penlidis, Alexander (Elsevier, 2019-08-26)The current study examines the effects of important factors (namely, pH, ionic strength and monomer concentration) on the terpolymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic ... -
Straightforward Synthesis and Evaluation of Polymeric Sensing Materials for Acetone Detection
Scott, Alison J.; Majdabadifarahani, Noushin; Stewart, Katherine M. E.; Duever, Thomas A.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2020-04-02)Three polymeric materials (polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(methyl methacrylate)) have been selected, prepared and evaluated for potential use in acetone sensing (for possible diabetes-related applications). Of the ...
