In this study, we characterize the CCN activity of the water-soluble organics in biomass burning aerosol. The aerosol after collection upon filters is dissolved in water using sonication. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components are fractionated from a porti ...
We present a particle-sorting device based on the opposition of dielectrophoretic forces. The forces are generated by an array of electrode chambers located in both sidewalls of a main flow channel. Particles with different dielectric response perceive dif ...
The temperature-dependent thermo-physical and mechanical properties of a pultruded E-glass fiber-reinforced polyester (GFRP) composite are investigated in this paper. Fitting of theoretical models of the material properties to results of TGA, DSC, hot disk ...
We report on a series of soil erosion experiments performed on the 2-m x 6-m EPFL erosion flume. Total sediment concentrations and the concentrations of seven size fractions (1000 mm) were measured during 1 ...
Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
The Diels-Alder reaction has been examd. in room temp. ionic liqs. with high molar concns. of Lewis acids under various conditions. A molar ratio of 10% catalyst gave a large increase in the selectivity and the yield of the reaction. The effect of catalyst ...
In this thesis we address the description of electrical transport properties of disordered conductor-insulator composites, mostly by numerical Monte Carlo simulations and analytical study of realistic tunnelling-percolation models. Such composites are basi ...
The effect of chenodeoxycholic acid as the coadsorbent with a squaraine sensitizer on TiO2 nanocrystalline solar cells was investigated, and it was found that the coadsorbent prevents the squaraine sensitizer from aggregating on the TiO2 nanoparticles but ...
The ability of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) produced from the ozonolysis of α-pinene and monoterpene mixtures (α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene and 3-carene) to become cloud droplets was investigated. A static CCN counter and a Scanning Mobility CCN Analyse ...
The CCN-relevant properties and droplet growth kinetics are determined for marine organic matter isolated from seawater collected near the Georgia coast. The organic matter is substantially less CCN active than (NH4)2SO4, but droplet growth kinetics are si ...
