MECHANISM OF WEAR AND TRIBOFILM FORMATION WITH IONIC LIQUIDS AND ASHLESS ANTIWEAR ADDITIVES
(2016-07-26)
Increasingly stringent government regulation on emissions (EPA Emissions Standard Reference Guide and latest CAFE standards requiring an average fuel economy of 54.5 mpg (combined cars and trucks) by 2025) impose significant ...
Advances in Separation Methodologies: Fatty Acid, Fatty Amine, Water, and Ethanol Determination by Ionic Liquid Gas Chromatography and D-Amino Acid Evaluation in Mammalian Brain by Liquid Chromatography
(2016-08-15)
This dissertation focuses on two chromatographic techniques, gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The goal of the GC work is to describe advances in separation methodologies focusing ...
INVESTIGATION OF THERMO-PHYSICAL PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT MECHANISM OF MOLTEN SALT NANO-EUTECTIC VIA NANOSTRUCTURAL CHANGE AND POLYALPHAOLEFIN NANOFLUID VIA IN SITU FORMATION OF SUPERSTRUCTURES
(2018-08-10)
For many years, scientists enhanced the specific heat capacity of molten salt nanofluids by dispersing only minute concentrations of different nanoparticles (e.g., 1 wt.%). While the specific heat capacity for molten salts ...
Designing thermally stable ionic liquid stationary phases for gas chromatography and examining their structure-property relationships
(2018-11-30)
Ionic liquids are popular in diverse scientific applications because of their unique physicochemical properties. The physicochemical properties of ionic liquids can be “tuned” by the modification of their structural moieties. ...
DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHLY POLAR STRUCTURALLY-TUNED IONIC LIQUIDS WITH UNIQUE SELECTIVITY FOR GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
(2018-11-30)
Ionic Liquids (ILs) are state-of-the-art fluids that have found broad application in separation science. Owing to their unique physicochemical properties such as low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and high viscosity, ...
