During the production of polymer-grade propylene, different processes are used to purify this compound and ensure that it is of the highest quality. However, some impurities such as acetylene and methyl acetylene are ...

Atmospheric pressure plasma jet was used to deposit polymer films from argon/air/acetylene mixture. Depending on the gas composition, three modes of operation were observed and characterized. The film deposited by a ...

The effect of OEC on soot formation and thermal radiation was studied in confined acetylene diffusion flames. Confined flames are widely used in industrial settings. The flames were produced in a combustion chamber with a ...

We performed density functional calculation of the acetylene hydrogenation reaction on the PdGa(110) surface. The reaction C 2 H 2 +H 2 → C 2 H 4 is modeled and understood in terms of chemical bonding change. The evolution ...

Chagas'disease is caused by a parasitic protozoan and affects the poorest population in the world, causing high mortality and morbidity. As a result of the toxicity and long duration of current treatments, the discovery ...

Plasma polymer films are very attractive for industrial applications in several sectors such as in the electronic, mechanic, biomedic, coating and others, due to its good adhesion, being insoluble in mild acids and bases ...
