For a better use of wood as an engineering material, knowledge of its strength properties is important. In building projects, strength properties of wood and wood-based components are crucial. The research was to investigate some mechanical properties of white mangrove (Laguncula...
Wood is an important structural material requiring treatments to improve its properties and resistance to biodeterioration agents; one of such is wood modification. Furfurylation is one of the chemical modifications of wood. It is based on wood impregnation with furfuryl alcohol...
Dimensional stability and durability of wood can be improved by chemical modification. However, some strength properties are reduced, increased or not affected depending on the type of chemical used. Two high density tropical hardwood species, Nesogordonia papaverifera and Cynome...
Device miniaturization and a desire to add some functionality for the next-generation electronic circuits have prompted the research community into a single molecule electronics. Here, we analyzed anthracene molecules coupled to Au electrodes through anchor groups. By using densi...

In the recent past packaging material is on high demand. The use of environmentally friendly packaging materials requires that more recycled material is utilized in the manufacturing chain. Fiber material from liquid container board packaging which may contain over 75% virgin ble...
Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) is a semiconducting polymer that is useful in photoelectric material and can be used as a promising material for applications in solar cells, light-emitting diodes, displays, or other optoelectronic devices In this work, a theoretical study...
The high cost and complexity of existing techniques used to remove heavy metal ions from water have necessitated developing and implementing cost-effective and socially acceptable options that can be applied at the household level. This work examined the ability of ceramic water...
The effects of Enantia chlorantha (ET) stem bark ethanoic extract on the corrosion of Mild steel in acids environment and acid basicity to concentration ratio on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of Enantia chlorantha on mild steel in acid environments was studied using elec...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano particles were prepared using sol-gel auto combustion method from Zinc acetate dehydrate and sodium hydroxide. Their structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the film’s hexagonal wur...
Lead sulfide (PbS) thin films with different concentrations of ligand have been deposited on the glass substrate at room temperature using Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) technique. The influence of ligand on the Optical, Solid State, Morphological and Electrical properties of the...
This research is based on the design and fabrication of an agricultural produce solar dryer for the drying of chili pepper. The solar dryer consists of a solar absorption chamber and a drying chamber. The solar absorption chamber has an opening for the inlet of air, a dark-walled...
High board and packaging material demands due to increased internet sales require the board and packaging manufacturing industry to increase production capabilities. Legislature actions require the utilization of environmentally friendly packaging materials as well as upgrade exi...
Metal rubber (MR), as a new hysteresis non-linear elastic material with unique properties, has been extensively used in recent years, especially in aviation, aerospace and harsh conditions while the relevant theoretical research is still in the initial stage. In this paper, an ef...
Much interest has risen in the use of natural dyes due to intensified awareness of the environmental and health hazards associated with synthetic dyes. This study fabricated a cost-effective dye extractor and dryer machines for optimal dye extraction process. The fabrication was...
Silica-based materials generate the highly reactive silanol against metallic trace elements in contact with aqueous solutions. Their use in electroanalysis allows the creation of electrochemical sensors for the regular control of matrices. Silicon, a material derived from silica,...
