The electrical conductivity (σ) and Seebeck coefficient (S) at temperatures from 40 °C to 100 °C of melt-processed polypropylene (PP) composites filled with 5 wt.% of industrial-grade carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is investigated. Transmissi...

In this work, an underwater impulse discharge initiated in polyaniline (PANI) aqueous dispersion between tungsten rods is applied to produce metal oxide nanoparticles and create polymer nanocomposites. The prepared materials were analyzed by X-ray di...

Reaction-bonded SiC-B4C-Si ceramic composites were binder jet 3D-printed and subsequently pressureless-melt-infiltrated with molten Si. The addition of B4C aided the Si infiltration to produce a highly dense composite. The microstructures and phases...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for powder-based polymers and metallic materials. Thermoplastics like Polyamide 12 and Polyamide 6 are commonly used in LPBF; thermosetting polymers are gaining attentio...

Lithomargic clay is generally found below the lateritic soil along the coastal belt of Karnataka. It is rich in silt content and dispersive in nature. This type of soil is liable to erosion and landslides. The lithomargic clay is largely found in the...

Structural cracks have serious repercussions on the safety, adaptability, and longevity of structures. Therefore, assessing cracks is an important parameter when evaluating the quality of concrete construction. As numerous cutting-edge automated insp...

In 2020, we published a review on the study of semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers and composites based on the shape memory effect. The shape recovery ability of such polymers is determined by their sensitivity to temperature, mois...

This work reports the preparation and testing of a composite material composed of α-Manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) coated with polyaniline (PANI) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for supercapacitor application. The structure and morphology of...

Fuel cell efficiency can be improved by using progressive electrodes and electrolytes. Green nanomaterials and green technologies have been explored for the manufacturing of high-performance electrode and electrolyte materials for fuel cells. Platinu...

Due to the unique properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), the electrical and thermal conductivity of CNT-modified polymeric composites (CNTMPCs) can be manipulated and depend on several factors. There are many factors that affect the thermal and elect...
