The formation of giant hailstones is a rare weather event that has devastating consequences in inhabited areas. This hazard been occurring more frequently and with greater size recent years, thus needs to be better understood. While the generally accepted mechanism thought process similar smaller but exceptional duration stronger updrafts, evidence suggests biotic abiotic factors also influence growth these unusually large ice chunks. In this study, we improved findings by determining...
Studies of the production fiber-forming polyamide 6 (PA6)/graphene composite material and melt-spun textile fibers are scarce, but research to date reveals that achieving high dispersion state graphene is main challenge nanocomposite production. Considering significant progress made in industrial mass nanoplatelets (GnPs), this study explored feasibility PA6/GnPs using commercially available few-layer GnPs. To aim, GnPs were pre-dispersed molten ε-caprolactam at concentrations equal 1 2 wt...
Self-healing anticorrosion composite coatings containing isophorone diisocyanate-loaded polyurethane microcapsules were developed, and comprehensive research on prepolymer synthesis, as well functional preparation characterization, was performed. The influence of the type concentration stabilizing agent used in synthesis procedure properties studied detail. For this purpose, three different prepolymers prepared from toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) either glycerol, 1,4-butanediol, or...
This work reports the development of ultralight interwoven ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanosheets for use as a potential adsorbent in passive sampler (PAS) designed to bind Hg2+ ions. The g-CN were prepared from bulk synthesised via modified high-temperature short-time (HTST) polycondensation process. crystal structure, surface functional groups, and morphology characterised using battery instruments. results confirmed that as-synthesized product is composed few-layered...
Hailstorms are a familiar danger in hot weather and becoming increasingly common. Despite this, we know little about how they form or what composed of. In 2019, storm developed over Slovenia, with hailstones as large 12 cm falling to the ground. We melted concentric layers of several these investigated abiotic biotic constituents that influenced hailstones’ formation. Using scanning electron Raman spectroscopies found natural synthetic fibers concentrated at core hailstones, mineral...
