This work is devoted to the production of Mo-Hf-Y-Si-B-N coatings using magnetron sputtering with varying N2 flow rate; the analysis of magnetron discharge plasma; and the investigation of the structure, and optical, mechanical, and tribological char...
In the present work, ternary Ni-Ce-Mg-O composites containing various amounts of NiO and CeO2 were synthesized via a sol-gel approach. Aqueous solutions of cerium and nickel nitrates were introduced at the stage of hydrolysis of magnesium methoxide,...
Basalt fiber (BF) is an environmentally friendly type of fiber that has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years due to its excellent performance in concrete constructions. This current research was conducted to investigate the effect o...
Concrete contributes 8% of all global carbon emissions, making the need to find substitutes critical for environmental sustainability. Research has indicated the potential for recycled plastics to be used as concrete substitutes. This study extends e...
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) production consumes tremendous amounts of fresh water and energy and releases vast quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. Not only would an alternative to OPC whose production requires no water, releases little CO2, and...
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerization has been implemented in commercially available bulk-fill dental composites, with the idea of either optimizing polymerization at depth, while providing sufficient o...
Concrete is brittle; hence, it is incredibly likely that concrete buildings may fail in both local and global ways under dynamic and impulsive stresses. An extensive review investigation was carried out to examine reinforced concrete (RC) slab behavi...
Fresh-cut fruit is highly perishable due to damage to its external protective skin leading to the acceleration of chemical and biochemical activities, respiration rate, ethylene production, texture softening and moisture loss. Edible films and coatin...
Due to their superior capabilities for manufacturing lightweight automotive components, aluminium metal matrix composites have gained a lot of attention in the last few years. Aluminium metal matrix composites are an exceptional class of metal matrix...
The reinforcing efficiency of SBA-15-type mesoporous silica, when used as additive in epoxy polymers, was evaluated in this study. The effects of silica loading and its physicochemical characteristics on the thermal, mechanical, and viscoelastic prop...
