    Viscosity-boosting effects of polymer additives in automotive lubricants
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Boussaid, Mohamed; Haddadine, Nabila; Benmounah, Abdelbaki; Dahal, Jiba; Bouslah, Naima; Benaboura, Ahmed; El-Shall, Samy
    This study investigated polyethylene glycol (PEG), as a polymer improver of the paraffinic oil viscosity index (VI). The characterization of PEG/paraffinic oil blends at different concentrations (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, and 10%), was performed using Raman spectroscopy and optical microscopy. The rheological parameters as the viscosity index and activation energy were determined using the kinematic viscosity measurements. Results showed that the VI improvement reached an optimal value for the blend containing 3% PEG, with greater value for blends containing 2% PEG than 5 and 10% PEG. The presence of polymer particles was observed by optical microscopy, which confirmed the lack of PEG distribution in the blend containing 5%, and more, whereas mixtures with 3 and 2% PEG exhibited good particle distribution, evidenced by smaller polymer particle sizes. This finding was corroborated by Raman spectroscopy, which revealed the absence of polymer–oil intermolecular interactions in the PEG/paraffinic oil blends. The rheological tests showed that increasing the blend temperature from 40 to 80 ℃, improved the PEG chains dispersion in the paraffin oil, for the blends containing up to 3% PEG. The difference of the activation energy of the pure paraffinic oil and the PEG/paraffinic oil blends, (ΔEa) was calculated, and the correlation between the ΔEa and the viscosity index values was established. Therefore, adding PEG to paraffinic oil appeared to be promising for the viscosity index improvement and promote industrial applications of paraffinic oil.

    Synthesis, characterization and morphology of new aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters based on trans-1,3- indanediol
    (Taylor and Francis Online, 2018) Guemmour, Hind; Benaboura, Ahmed
    In this article we report the study on the synthesis and thermal characterization of a new family of aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters that incorporate pure isomer trans-1,3-indanediol. The aromatic diacid terephthaloyl chloride and aliphatic diols HO–(CH2)n–OH with various methylene lengths have been used as co-monomers. The aliphatic diols employed in this study are 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,7-heptanediol and 1,10-decanediol. The relevant properties of the synthesized aliphatic–aromatic copolyesters involve viscosity measurements, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters present thermostable nature and semi-crystalline properties.

    Effect of Hematite on the Energy Storage Performance of Polyaniline/Zeolite HY/α-Fe2O3 Nanocomposite Supercapacitor Electrode
    (Springer, 2020) Ghebache, Zohra; Zitouni, Safidine; Hamidouche, Fahim; Boudieb, Naima; Benaboura, Ahmed; Trari, Mohamed
    The main goal of the present work is the elaboration of new nanocomposite conducting poly(aniline) with α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in the presence of zeolite HY acid in aqueous electrolyte by chemical oxidative polymerization. Various formulations of the polymer were synthesized (5, 10, and 20% of α-Fe2O3) and the nanocomposites poly(aniline)/HY/α-Fe2O3 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM analysis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity and the UV–visible spectroscopy of the nanocomposites were also investigated. In addition, the electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry. (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The optimal ratio between α-Fe2O3 and poly(aniline)/HY was found to be 5 wt%. The specific capacitances of poly(aniline)/HY and nanocomposite were found to be be 630, and 1000 F g−1 respectively at a scan rate of 5 mV/s. Besides, the material possesses a high energy density of 88.88 Wh kg−1 and a maximum power density of 1632.3 W kg−1. These electrochemical results indicate that the PANI/HY/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites is an attractive candidate for the application in the high-performance energy storage systems.
