Investigating the Drag Reduction Performance of Rigid Polymer-Carbon Nanotubes Complexes

Transporting liquids in commercial Pipeline is very expensive due to cost incurred in the installation of pumping stations. This cost can be reduced by polymeric additives. However, these polymeric additives degrade over time as a result of mechanical stress the fluids are subjected to. Previous eff...
