Ferrites, which are ceramic compounds or mixed crystals of different metallic oxides (Fe2O3) and are thought to be made up of cations occupying the spaces between oxygen ions in a close-packed structure. They are classified into two main types based on their magnetic properties: hard ferrites, that possesses...

Heavy metal contamination poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human health due to its toxicity, persistence, and bio accumulative nature. Conventional remediation methods, such as chemical precipitation and ion exchange, often suffer from high costs, inefficiency, and secondary pollution. To...

Silicone-hydrogel (SiHy) lenses solved corneal hypoxia two decades ago, yet their hydrophobic skins still invite lipid gunk, bacterial hitch-hikers and end-of-day burn. Nano-patterned wetting layers (NPWLs)—comprising sub-500 nm grooves, pillars, and honeycomb pores—were fabricated via embossing or self-assembly...

Laser cladding (LC) has become a revolutionary surface engineering technology for reducing corrosion, wear, and material degradation in key components like pipes, valves, and structural fittings. This review provides an in-depth overview of the latest developments in LC, with a special emphasis on the...

Aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) nanocomposites have emerged as promising materials for applications at higher-temperatures as they have superior mechanical properties and thermal stability. Present study examines the high-temperature performance of Al-Si nanocomposites fabricated by casting method assisted...

This study explores the development and evaluation of geopolymer concrete produced using agro-waste ashes—specifically rice husk ash (RHA), sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), and cow dung ash (CDA)—as sustainable binder alternatives. Various mix combinations were designed by varying the proportions of the...

The construction industry's ongoing quest for sustainable materials has directed attention toward the use of industrial by-products and natural pozzolans as alternatives to conventional cement. This study explores the combined effect of lime sludge and metakaolin, introduced as equal-proportion...

The structural integrity of civil infrastructure is paramount to ensuring safety, resilience, and sustainability in a rapidly urbanizing world. Traditional methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) often rely on deterministic and empirical models, which struggle to capture the complexity and stochastic...

The effect of nonlocal and two-temperature parameter on an initially stressed generalized magneto-thermoelastic solid with gravity has been discussed. The problem is studied using Green-Naghdi (GN II), Lord-Shulman (L-S), and the three phase lag (TPL) models. The governing equations are solved by the...

Supramolecular chemistry offers a transformative approach to designing materials that can respond dynamically to environmental changes through reversible, non-covalent interactions. These interactions—such as hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, host–guest inclusion, and π–π stacking—enable the construction...

This study explores the influence of basalt fibres incorporation on the fresh and hardened properties of geopolymer concrete developed from agro-waste ashes—namely rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse ash, and cow dung ash. Seven distinct mixes were prepared with varying basalt fibre contents ranging from...

This study critically explores the potential of lime sludge, a predominant byproduct from the pulp and paper industry, as a sustainable constituent in building materials. The literature reveals that thermally treated lime sludge demonstrates significant pozzolanic reactivity, making it a promising candidate...

The demand for sustainable and high-performance concrete has intensified the exploration of industrial by-products and waste materials as partial replacements in conventional mix designs. In response to these concerns, this study assesses the feasibility of incorporating ceramic tile waste (CTW) as a...

In this study, we have prepared ZnO nanoparticles and investigated their structural as well as photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB). Herein, we have explored the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles at different calcination temperatures (500 ℃ and 600 ℃) by using ZIF-8 as a precursor, which is...

This review paper examines the most recent development in the mechanical and physical properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs) taking Al 7075 as main metal. In order to increase the Mechanical Properties, Physical properties as well as tribological properties of AL7075 lot of reinforcement like SiC,...

Unintentional or intentional releases of hydrocarbons, commonly referred to as oil spills, pose significant health and environmental hazards that affect human populations, soil fertility, and marine ecosystems. In order to lessen these effects, early detection is essential. The advanced spectroscopic...

Due to construction industry's growing need for materials such as aggregate and cement, there has been an increase in the level of concern over the depletion of resources and environment preservation. The construction and demolition (C&D) create a considerable amount of waste highlights the...

Biomaterials and biomedical devices have seen significant advancements, playing a crucial role in modern healthcare. Biomaterials, including natural, synthetic, and hybrid substances, are designed to interconnect with body system for diagnostic and curative motives. They form the foundation of biomedical...

One of the main threats to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations is the widespread use of pesticides to meet the global food demand. Pesticide usage can be ensured more safely and effectively by having a better understanding of their environmental fate. Acaricides...

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized modern production by enabling the fabrication of intricate designs, customization at scale, and cost-efficient prototyping. While three-dimensional (3D) printing has already transformed numerous industries, its limitations in static structures have motivated...

The primary objective of this work is to find out which material is best for composite structure. The biggest problem facing is to choose the material. Several parameters are kept in mind while choosing the material, including lower cost, weight, strength, stiffness, attractiveness, fatigue and tired...
