Plant waxes, including n-alkanes, are commonly used for a wide range of paleo-applications. Several common traits of n-alkanes that are used as paleo-proxies include chain length distribution and average chain length (ACL), as well as plant wax carbon and ...
We present a study of the adsorption of single molecules of volatiles, such as water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, pyridine, toluene, and n-octane, on the dry surface of a smectite clay using a series of calculations based on density functional theory. Our clay ...
This study compares the characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the associated factors affecting them within European (EU) and Singapore buildings. Generally, concentrations of target VOCs determined in the two types of buildings were with ...
A zeolite membrane fabrication process combining 2D-zeolite nanosheet seeding and gel-free secondary growth is described. This process produces selective molecular sieve films that are as thin as 100 nm and exhibit record high permeances for xylene- and bu ...

A method produces a conductive paste comprising 15-20% by weight of PDMS and 80-85% by weight of metallic micro-nano particles, wherein the conductive paste is obtained by repeated addition of singular doses of PDMS to a heptane diluted PDMS low viscosity ...
Strong dienophiles prefer to add onto the diene moiety attached at C(2),C(3) of 2,3,6,7-tetramethylidenebicyclo[3,2,1]octane ((+/-)-1; see Scheme 1), whereas in the case of 3,4,6,7-tetramethylidenebicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-exo,8-syn-diyl derivatives. the dien ...
In this work, a theoretical framework is developed to explain and predict changes in the product distribution of the propene dimerization reaction, which yields a mixture of C-6 olefin isomers, resulting from the use of different porous materials as cataly ...
The molecular dipole polarizability describes the tendency of a molecule to change its dipole moment in response to an applied electric field. This quantity governs key intra- and intermolecular interactions, such as induction and dispersion; plays a vital ...
Contributions of radical and non-radical processes have been determined in the formation of radiolysis products of n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane and n-decane in a large range of temperature. Calculations are based on the combination and the dismutation of ...
With the expansion of offshore petroleum exploration and extraction activities, validated models are needed to simulate the behaviors of petroleum compounds released in deep (>100 m) waters. We developed a thermodynamic model of the gas-liquid-water partit ...
