Investigating the Adsorption Behavior of Polyaniline and Its Clay Nanocomposite towards Ammonia Gas.

Air pollution and control of gaseous air pollutants are global concerns. Exposure to these gaseous contaminants causes several health risks, especially exposure to irritant gases such as ammonia (NH). Furthermore, the application of smart polymeric nanocomposites in environmental applications has gained significant interest in recent years.

Comparable investigation of polyaniline behavior towards gaseous ammonia and toluene adsorption.

With raising awareness of gaseous air pollutants and their harmful impact, adsorption is considered one of the most prominent techniques for gaseous emissions control. The usage of polyaniline as a gas adsorbent is an innovative idea. This work aims to compare the efficacy of synthesized polyaniline nanotubes (PANT) as a novel adsorbent towards inorganic gases (ammonia NH) and volatile organic compounds (toluene vapor).

Using peer-assisted learning and role-playing to teach generic skills to dental students: the health care simulation model.

Increasing importance is attached to teaching generic skills to undergraduate students in various disciplines. This article describes an extracurricular, student-led activity for teaching generic skills using the Model United Nations over three months. The activity used the Health Care Simulation Model (HCSM) with peer learning and role-playing to accomplish its objectives.
