This study intended to develop a healthy and environmentally friendly super-hydrophobic PET polyester textile fabric using a specific Fluoro Silane finish (SHF). A novel SHF was prepared and applied on a polyester fabric using a pad-dry-cure method. The finished fabric was evaluated for the degree of hydrophobicity, durability and stain repellence. The finished fabric exhibited...

Nano domain Al substituted Zinc ferrite was prepared by chemical route using Ethylene Diamine as ligand. High purity precursors nitrate salts of Zinc, Fe(3+), Al(3+) were utilized along with citric acid which acts as both fuel and complexing agent. Two different molar ratios of Zn(2+):(Fe3+):Al(3+) is 1:1.5:0.5 and 1:1.25:0.75. After ensuring proper mix of...

Acid doped Polyaniline (PANI) due to their increased electrical conductivity, are considered to be the most promising conducting filler materials. Hence, the present study, reports the synthesis of the PANI followed by acid doping, electrical conductivity and dielectric properties measurements of H2SO4; HCl and (Conc. HCl + NaNO2mixture) doped PANI. In order to know...

Thermoelectric materials have been a competent source for the production of energy in the present decade. The most important and potential parameter required for the material to have better thermoelectric characteristics is the Seebeck coefficient. In this work, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites were prepared by mechanical mixing by...

The estimation of chemical particles reactivity and the determination of chemical reactions direction are the actual theme in new scientific trend - Chemical Mesoscopics. Paper includes the proposal about the using the theory of free energy linear dependence from physical organic chemistry and their applications for prognosis of reactions flowing. The semi-empiric constants is...
