Adsorption Properties of Single -Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Air Quality Engineering
The adsorption capacities of nanotubes were also determined for pure organic vapors, water vapor and mixtures of organic and water vapor. Adsorption of organic vapors depended mainly on the sample morphology with a maximum uptake equivalent to only ≈50% of the total pore volume of the sample. …

Objective comparison of design of experiments strategies in design and observations in practice
Design of Experiments (DoE) strategies in robust engineering determine which prototypes and how many of each are created and tested. A better strategy is one that delivers a closer-to-optimal performance at a lower experimental cost. Prototype testers who may use statistical DoE, design-build-test, …
