Abstract: Polymeric materials especially nanocomposites (Graphene, MXene based) are widely used in food, electronics, biomedical, batteries, energy storage, fuel cells, wastewater treatment, and automotive. Nanocomposites are stronger, lighter, and stiffer and can improve properties such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, flame retardancy, surface appearance, optical clarity and chemical resistance. Current research is... More

Abstract: This study reports the dosimetric response of a (ZnO)0.2(TeO2)0.8 thin film sensor irradiated with high-energy X-ray radiation at various doses. The spray pyrolysis method was used for the film deposition on soda-lime glass substrate using zinc acetate dehydrate and tellurium dioxide powder as the starting precursors. The structural and morphological properties of the film were determined. The I-V characteristics measurements were performed... More

Abstract: Global energy demand is rising, fossil fuel prices are rising, fossil fuel reserves are running out, and fossil fuel use contributes to the greenhouse effect. As a clean alternative source of energy to fossil fuels, biomass is becoming more and more essential. Carbon fiber (CF), often known as graphite fiber, is a thin, strong, and adaptable material utilized in both structural (capacity) and non-structural applications (e.g., thermal...

Abstract: Synthetic plastics are often considered to be materials that cannot be broken down by natural processes. One such plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is commonly used in everyday items but when these products are discarded, they can cause serious harm to the environment and human health. In this study, PET plastic waste was used to create activated carbon using a physical activation process that involved using CO2 gas. The researchers... More

Abstract: In studies of microwave absorption in the current literature, theories such as reflection loss, impedance matching, the delta function, and the quarter-wavelength model have been inappropriately applied. As shown in this case study, these problems need to be corrected as they are representative of similar work in the literature. More

Abstract: The calcium-doped ZnO nanoparticles, Zn1-xCaxO (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) were prepared by the solution combustion method. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques such as XRD, FTIR, Raman, FESEM-EDX, PL, Impedance, and UV-Vis. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffractogram yields the crystalline structure and lattice parameters. Also, the XRD analysis shows that the substitution of Ca into ZnO does not alter... More
