Biomimetic electrospun nanocomposite fibers from recycled polystyrene foams exhibiting superhydrophobicity
(Springer Nature, 2019-10-30)The production of various plastic wastes is increasing day by day and has become a growing concern to the serious environmental challenges. This type of waste is rarely resolved by microorganisms; hence, the recycling to ... -
Efficient fog harvesting through electrospun superhydrophobic polyacrylonitrile nanocomposite fiber mats
(SPIE, 2020-06-08)To address the global water scarcity issue especially in arid and semi-arid regions, efficient water collecting surfaces with fast capturing and easy drainage are essential. This concern is drastically increasing and ... -
Enhanced transport properties of graphene-based, thin Nafion (R) membrane for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
(Wiley, 2018-02)A polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the promising renewable energy conversion systems; however, its performance is considerably limited by the sluggish transport properties and/or reaction kinetics ... -
Sustainable atmospheric fog water generator through superhydrophobic electrospun nanocomposite fibers of recycled expanded polystyrene foams
(Elsevier, 2021-08-01)In recent years, the production of disposable plastic products is increasing day by day and resulting in global growing concern that it poses to the environment. Microorganisms hardly resolve these types of plastic wastes; ...
