摘要: A method of preparing a polymer composite includes dispersing a nanosheet filler within a polymer matrix by dissolving a monomer in water to form a first solution, dispersing the nanosheet filler in an organic solvent in the presence of an emulsifying agent to form a second solution, combining the first solution and the second solution, and adding a polymerization initiator to initiate a polymerization reaction of the monomer to form a polymer composite precursor comprising the nanosheet filler dispersed in the polymer matrix. The method further includes quenching the polymerization reaction and then filtering, washing, grinding, and drying the polymer composite precursor to form the polymer composite. A method of preparing a polymer composite hydrogel for water shutoff applications and the associated method of forming a barrier to shut off or reduce unwanted production of water in a subterranean formation utilizing the polymer composite hydrogel is also provided.

摘要: A method and process to make and use cotton-tipped electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of corona viruses is described. The immunosensor were fabricated by immobilizing the virus antigens on carbon nanofiber-modified screen printed electrodes which were functionalized by diazonium electrografting and activated by EDC/NHS chemistry. The detection of virus antigens were achieved via swabbing followed by competitive assay using fixed amount of antibody in the solution. Ferro/ferricyanide redox probe was used for the detection using square wave voltammetric technique. The limits of detection for our electrochemical biosensors were 0.8 and 0.09 pg/ml for SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV, respectively indicating very good sensitivity for the sensors. Both biosensors did not show significant cross reactivity with other virus antigens such as influenza A and HCoV, indicating the high selectivity of the method.

摘要: Coated particles include a particulate substrate, a surface copolymer layer surrounding the particulate substrate, and a resin layer surrounding the surface copolymer layer. The surface copolymer layer includes a copolymer of at least two monomers chosen from styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethylene, propylene, butylene, imides, urethanes, sulfones, carbonates, and acrylamides. The resin layer includes a cured resin. Methods of preparing the coated particles include preparing a first mixture including at least one polymerizable material, an initiator, and optionally a solvent; contacting the first mixture to a particulate substrate to form a polymerization mixture; heating the polymerization mixture to cure the polymerizable material and form a polymer-coated particulate; preparing a second mixture including the polymer-coated substrate, an uncured resin, and a solvent; and adding a curing agent to the second mixture to cure the uncured resin and form the coated particle.

摘要: The multi-layered sand assembly comprising neat sand, super-hydrophilic and super-hydrophobic sands for feasible and sustainable desert agriculture is described. The ingredients such as PAM used in the super-hydrophilic sand layer and the PS-PMMA/DVB polymer for the super-hydrophobic layer are relatively less expensive and thus the overall development of the coated sand is economical and cost effective for the mass production of modified sand layers. The tandem action of high water absorption and retention over time by super-hydrophilic sand layer and high water repulsion to avoid water loss by super-hydrophobic sand of the proposed assembly would make the achievable agriculture in desert lands.

摘要: A novel nanocomposite made of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide porous nanosheets is synthesized. The novelty of the nanocomposite lies in three main factors: the porosity of the reduced graphene oxide sheet, the magnetization of the superparamagnetic nanoparticles and the biocompatibility and near infrared absorbance of the gold nanoparticles all in one nanocomposite that does not disassemble when administered in the body. All of which are joined to create a whole and singular nanocomposite that can emit heat due to magnetic energy, become as biocompatible as possible and conceivably allow for near infrared absorbance penetration while the nanocomposite is fully assembled.

摘要: Strontium oxide (SrO) nanoparticle and various concentrations of chitosan (CS)-doped SrO nanocomposite were synthesized via co-precipitation method. A variety of characterization techniques including were done for characterizing and qualifying the nanocomposite. X ray powder diffraction affirmed cubic and tetragonal structure of SrO nanoparticle and CS-doped SrO nanocomposite with a decrease in crystallinity upon doping. Fourier transform infrared spectrum endorsed existing functional groups on CS/SrO surfaces while d-spacing was estimated using high resolution Transmission electron microscopes images. UV-Visible and Photoluminescence spectroscopy spectra showed an increase in band gap energies with an increase in doping concentration. Elemental composition of CS-doped SrO nanocomposite deposited with different doping concentrations was studied using Energy dispersive Spectroscopy. Addition of chitosan resulted in the formation of nanocomposite and rod-like structures that led to enhanced catalytic activity during methylene blue ciprofloxacin degradation in the presence of reducing agent sodium borohydrate at various pH conditions.
