The requirements for the fuel economy of modern industry continue to drive the progress of low-viscosity lubricants. The present work reports the application of polyether amine derivatives as friction modifiers to improve the tribological properties...
The hydrophilic extractives isolated from black alder (Alnus glutinosa) bark through hot water extraction were characterized as novel renewable macromonomers capable of forming polyurethane (PU) networks based on a commercial polyisocyanate, with par...
In this study, a combined approach of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental bottle tests was employed to systematically investigate the demulsification performance and underlying mechanisms of two distinct demulsifiers—Demulsifie...
The work is a continuation of the research on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers containing sulfur atoms which are incorporated into the polyurethane chain using aliphatic-aromatic chain extenders. These materials show some improved properti...
This study describes the synthesis of a curing agent derived from limonene as well as its application to prepare biobased thermoset polymers via the epoxy/thiol-ene photopolymerization (ETE) method. A biobased commercial epoxy resin was used to synth...
In this study, a solvent-free, slow-curing, inherently flame-retardant polyurea coating was successfully developed through an optimized formulation. The novel polyurea was synthesized using mixed Schiff base latent curing agents derived from terminal...
The oil and gas industry generates large amounts of oil-derived effluents such as Heavy Crude Oil (HCO) in water (W) emulsions, which pose a significant remediation and recovery challenge due to their high stability and the presence of environmentall...
