In this paper, the potential capacitance of shea butter (SB) was studied using thermal influenced by varying the temperature between 30°C and 80°C, and distance between the plates from 1 cm to 3 cm. Though different samples were not used for this research, the qualities of variou...
Waste paper and sawdust poses huge problems as degrading urban environment, producing offensive odor during rain and pollute the air with smoke when burnt indiscriminately, thus contributing to environmental degradation and global warming. In addition, if not timely disposed, bec...
The objective of this study is to develop a process for producing alkali-resistant zirconium-containing glasses for use as a heavy metal retention matrix contained in fly ashes. For this, we have developed 5 glass compositions: Two alkali-resistant model glasses type CEMFIL, V1 (...
The main purpose of this study is to synthesize and investigate the optical and electrical properties of zinc sulphide (ZnS) thin film which has some interesting optoelectronic properties. The films were grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique on clean soda-lime substra...
This work concerns the application of waste filler, consisting of scrap iron powder as received from machining in a small-scale workshop, in a self-produced thermoplastic starch (TPS) based on corn starch, acidified with acetic acid and plasticized with glycerol. The films obtain...
Investigation of the thermal stability of epoxy and unsaturated polyester filled with some agricultural waste of Dates palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and African elemi (Canarium shweinfurthii) pits particulate composites has been conducted at a heating rate of 10°C/min using thermogr...
The engineering of bandgap in materials is desired to develop new optoelectronic and photonic devices. The structure, electronic and optical properties of MgO (an insulator) mixed with CdO (a semiconductor) in the stoichiometry (0) are calculated using the ab initio density func...
This study focused on the effects of materials management on the performance of SMEs in Kogi State. For this study, the method used was research survey design. The population of the study comprised of the SMEs in food processing and manufacturing industries in the Eastern Senator...
The chemical formulae Ni1-xZnxGa0.5Fe1.5O4 (x= 0, 0.5, and 1) with spinel structure was prepared by a solid-state reaction at 1200 oC. The effect of irradiation by thermal neutrons is discussed on the structure by X-ray diffraction and by the Fourier transforms infrared absorptio...
Treatments of lignocellulosics material have been found to be useful in preparation of polymer composites since such treatment help to improve their properties. Epoxy filled with untreated and 5% NaOH treated date particulates of particle size 150 µm composites were prepared with...
