Sensor Array for Volatile Organic Compounds based on Doped Poly (2,5-dimethyl aniline)
Stewart, Katherine M.E.; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-12)A sensor array containing five different sensing materials has been created that is able to distinguish between six different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at an analyte concentration of 5 ppm. While none of the sensing ... -
Shear Viscosity of Poly (acrylamide/acrylic acid) Solutions
Riahinezhad, Marzieh; McManus, Neil; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2016-02-22)Acrylamide (AAm)/Acrylic acid (AAc) copolymers are being used in a wide spectrum of applications, from which enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the target application in this research study. The shear viscosity of the copolymer ... -
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 ... -
Towards Olefin Multi-block Copolymers with Tailored Properties: A Molecular Perspective
Mohammadi, Yousef; Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Penlidis, Alexander; Jabbari, Esmaiel; Stadler, Florian; Zinck, Philippe; Vivaldo-Lima, Eduardo (Wiley, 2021-05)Recent progress in macromolecular reaction engineering has enabled the synthesis of sequence-controlled polymers. The advent of Olefin Block Copolymers (OBCs) via chain shuttling polymerization of ethylene with α-olefins ... -
Visualization of bivariate sequence length-chain length distribution in free radical copolymerization
Saeb, Mohammad Reza; Mohammadi, Yousef; Rastin, Hadi; Kermaniyan, Tayebeh Sadat; Penlidis, Alexander (Wiley, 2017-08)Copolymer properties and processability depend on copolymer microstructure, i.e., copolymer composition and monomer unit arrangements along copolymer chains. To predict ultimate properties of copolymers, one needs complete ...
