Abstract Oil‐in‐water emulsions (30∶70, vol/vol) were formulated with sunflower lecithin to characterize the destabilization processes and the vesicles formed. Dispersions containing levels of 0.1% lecithin were more stable against coalescence than the control system. When the lecithin concentration was increased to 0…

Compounds containing 6.3–6.5 wt % H and thermally stable in vacuum up to 500°C were obtained by annealing graphite nanofibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes in hydrogen atmosphere under a pressure of 9 GPa at temperatures up to 45°C. A change in the X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that the crystal lattice of…

A model of simultaneous transport in hygroscopic porous materials was developed. Water in fabrics is considered to be present in three forms: liquid water in the void space between fibers, bound water in the fibers, and vapor. It is assumed that the heat and mass transport mechanisms include movement of liquid water d…
