Environmental factors such as moisture, microbial action, UV radiation, and temperature variations can significantly impact the performance and durability of natural fibre-based polymer composites in automobile components. This study investigated the fallout of environmental degr...
The present review gives an overview of a vast selection of fillers—natural, metallic, carbon fillers— incorporated in ER matrices to enhance or to meet the requirements for a desired application, such as the increase in the final adhesive toughness. One of the most common types...
Minimally-invasive vertebral body cement augmentation methods, notably percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PKP), are now well established as surgical modalities for treating persistent and/or severe pain arising from osteoporosis-induced verteb...
In with the increasing number of automobile ownership and the increasingly stringent emission regulations, the development of clean energy has become an important issue in the field of energy and environment at present. In this paper, combustion and emission experiments of biodie...
The prostate gland found in men helps in semen production. When the prostate gland enlarges out of control, it could lead to prostate cancer. Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CZ) is a flavouring plant that is used as spice in foods. Prostate cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies diag...
The present investigation aimed to synthesize Zinc (Zn) modified hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanocomposites with varying concentrations (pure, 10 wt%, 15 wt%, and 20 wt%) via the modified sol-gel method. The influence of dopants on structural and optical properties and photocatalytic acti...
The most important problems facing society today is energy supply of humanity. One of the clear examples of direct energy conversion isthermoelectric effect, which consists in obtaining electric potential using a temperature difference.The obtaining and study of materials with hi...
The treatments of potato:chicken dung (POP:CHD), yam peel:cow dung (YP:CD) and unripe plantain peel:cow dung (PP:CD) wastes by anaerobic co-digestion were studied. This study was carried out to examine the attractiveness of these wastes at various mixing ratios as a source of bio...
The Q235 steel is known for its good toughness and castability, making it easy to stamp and weld as a substrate. For the coating, SERMETEL water-based high-temperature coatings are used. One part of the first coating primer is applied using a closed coatings shot blasting method...
