Polymers have received much attention as materials for hosting ionic conduction. Polymer
electrolytes have been applied in sensors, solar cells, batteries and supercapacitors. Two …

Oils, pure alcohols and alcohols mixtures have a complicated dielectric behavior. The strong
electric field of the ions affects intensively the molecular interaction of solvents. Microwave …

Copper (II) oxide (CuO) nanostructures were prepared on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)
using a three-step heat treatment process in a sol–gel dip-coating method. The precursor …

Abstract Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are present in applications from well drilling to refining
and cause diverse problems. The present paper details the results of a study of the stability …

Concretes with fly ash, slag, limestone calcined clay, etc. exhibiting high resistivity are being
used to enhance the chloride resistance of structures–to achieve durability. Prior to use, the …

Cholesterol is one of the main biomarkers for atherosclerosis which can lead to the coronary
heart and peripheral arterial diseases. Development of non-enzymatic electrochemical …

Wax molecules crystallize at ambient temperature, causing the crude oil to become a
dispersed system, which poses challenges in the flow assurance of pipelines. Improving the …

This paper evaluates the suitability of various techniques such as half-cell potential,
macrocell corrosion, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance …

Abstract Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), a powerful technique used for wide range
of applications, is usually carried out by means of benchtop instrumentation (LCR meters …

Previous studies have shown that the application of a high-voltage electric field to a liquid or
gelled waxy crude oil can significantly improve its cold flowability, such as reducing viscosity …
