Smart Nanoparticles Technology

Abstract

is currently working as Head Director of Education Scheme for Training and Developments (ES4TD) British Company. The company is establishing itself in the market of supporting the scientific research and university education programs development. The company has been set up a few years ago. It is well known in the UK and Middle East and has a lot of university and company partners. Within his duties and commitments in this company, Dr. Hashim is in charge of running the research programs of Environmental Pollution Research Group (EPRG), Nanotechnology Research Group (NTRG) and Materials for Engineering Applications Research Group (MEARG). In these fields of research Dr. Hashim published many papers and research reports. He is the editor of more than six books published by InTech Open Access Publisher and a member of many journal editorial boards.

Membrane Absorption Coupling Process for CO2 Capture: Application of Water-Based ZnO, TiO2, and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Nanofluids

“…There are a number of methods for estimating and quantifying nanofluid stability. It is worth mentioning that applying just one method individually is not enough to obtain reliable results . In this work, three different methods are applied to analyze the stability of nanofluids both quantitatively and qualitatively.…”

“…In the presence of an aqueous solution of ZnO and the CO 3 2– anions produced from chemical interaction of CO 2 with water, zinc carbonate hydroxide species are easily formed and precipitated (eqs –) . On the contrary, the ZnO reaction with CO 2 in the form of gas is too slow and proceeds better in a humid gas Taira et al implemented ZnO for CO 2 adsorption from humid gases.…”

Effect of Nano Clay Reinforcement on Thermal Conductivity of Epoxy/CNT Composite Material

“…Therefore, heat transfer is carried out only by elastic waves, that is, phonons. For one-dimensional and linear heat flow, steady-state heat transfer in solid materials can be described by Fourier's law [19]. Here, C p is specific heat, v is average molecular speed, and l is the average free oscillation of molecules.…”
