“…Careful tuning of the composition and proportions [ 12 ] of components in the material can significantly impact its properties. This could involve altering the concentration of the polymer components [ 13 , 14 ]. Additionally, the chemical modification of the polymers [ 15 , 16 ] can be used to change their properties.…”

This paper explores the application of multi-objective optimization techniques, including MOPSO, NSGA II, and SPEA2, to optimize the hyperparameters of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) for predicting the physical properties of textile polymer composite materials (TPCMs). The optimization process utilizes data on the physical characteristics of the constituent fibers and fabrics used to manufacture these composites. By employing optimization algorithms, we aim to enhance the predictive accuracy of the ANN and SVM models, thereby facilitating the design and development of high-performance textile polymer composites. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through comparative analyses and validation experiments, highlighting its potential for optimizing complex material systems.

“…Since there is a growing tendency to use adsorption as an effective tool for removing dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons, discovering new porous materials exhibiting very high adsorption capacity with rapid regeneration characteristics is inevitable. Moreover, numerous absorbent polymers or porous polymer-based systems are exploited in oil and gas [9,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] and other industries [54,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] . Carbon nanostructures-based composite adsorbents are emerging as potential adsorbents for removing dissolved organic compounds from water solutions [66][67][68] .…”

“…These issues can be successfully addressed by suitable processing of the composite adsorbents into mesoporous structured materials and subsequent hydrophilic surface modifications. Moreover, the application of polymers are well-known in various stages of oil and gas extraction processes [43,47,55,57,58,[69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] . Therefore, we have developed a nano-crystallization phase separation approach for fabricating mesoporous polymers from various commodity polymers [12,13,39,41,77] .…”

Xylene isomers are notorious chemical hazards, and their efficient removal from water solutions is still challenging. The current study reports a polymer nanocomposite as a potential adsorbent for successfully removing dissolved xylene isomers from contaminated water. Polystyrene-1D multiwall carbon nanotube nanocomposite (PS-MWCNT) adsorbent was prepared using the one-step bulk polymerization method. Mesoporous PS-MWCNT was prepared using the nano-crystallization phase separation method. The sulfonation of the mesoporous PS-MWCNT nanocomposites was carried out by treating the samples with concentrated sulfuric acid at elevated temperatures. The sulfonated PS-MWCNT (HO3S-PS-MWCNT) was found to be a potential adsorbent for dissolved xylene isomers from water solution. In addition, the HO3S-PS-MWCNT can be efficiently recycled for up to 10 consecutive cycles with negligible decline in adsorption values. The exhibited equilibrium adsorption, rate of adsorption, and rapid regeneration of the HO3S-PS-MWCNT are clear indications for the possibility of practical utilization of these adsorbents in large-scale water treatment plants.

“…44 Various EOR studies have been performed using different nanoparticles (NPs) that are stabilized in different fluids such as water and ethanol. 45,46 The dispersed NPs in a suitable medium could effectively alter the wettability and act as surfactants by decreasing the oil-water interfacial tension (IFT). Hendraningrat et al reported the potential of NPs that are dispersed in brine applied to the Berea sandstone core with different concentrations up to 0.1 wt%.…”

Herein, we report a facile preparation method for mechanically robust and thermally enhanced sand‐polyacrylamide (PAM)‐2D‐nanofillers composite hydrogels and their application in water shutoff. To prepare the sample, 4 wt% of aqueous PAM solution is mixed with organic cross‐linkers of hydroquinone (HQ) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) in a 1:1 weight ratio and aqueous potassium chloride (KCl) solution and with a specific amount of 2D‐nanofillers such as commercial graphene (CG) nanosheets or boron nitride nanoparticles (BN NPs). A specific amount of the above solution is added to sand, well mixed, and subsequently cured at 150°C for 8 h. The prepared composite hydrogels were characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) for chemical composition and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) for successful hydrogel coating onto the sand particles. Thermal stabilities of the samples have been evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Mechanical properties (storage modulus [G′]; loss modulus [G″]; gel strength (G′/G″); and damping factor [G″/G′]) of the samples were determined using dynamic mechanical analyses. The thermal stability of the samples has reached as high as 193.4°C, while the gel strength is found to be a maximum of 16.2. The water swelling ratio for the composite hydrogel has reached a maximum of 1100% within 1 h.
