Water electrolysis is considered as the most favorable method to generate hydrogen
because of its environmentally friendly approach. As an upgradation of this process, the …

Conducting polymer poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and a graft copolymer of P3HT with poly
(acrylic acid)(P3HT-g-PAA) were synthesized. The structure and molecular dynamics of …

Chemical sand-fixing technology has shown good potential in preventing desertification, but
the effect is determined by materials. In this paper, the adsorption behavior of quartz and six …

Three montmorillonite (Mt) clays with different cation exchange capacity (CEC) were
intercalated by a series of dialkyl ammonium cations with carbon numbers (N c=) 8, 10, 12 …

Polymer-modified bentonite and sand mixtures (PMBS) are widely used in the engineering
field due to their low cost and low permeability. In this study, different ionic types of …
