Nanocomposites are superior to conventional one in terms of its mechanical performance. Pristine /functionalized graphene sheets (FGS) were incorporated into a range of model polymers. Solvent aided blending was adopted ...

The work presented in this thesis is focused on various smoke producing compositions and their ingredients. A lot of work has already been done on smoke producing pyrotechnic compositions but the smokes produced are generally ...

Zinc is an essential component for the healthy growth of plants and animals. Zinc concentration level in different arable soils of the world is very low. Owing to continuous crop production, the amount of Zinc is decreasing ...

In order to realize an energy-efficient naphtha reforming process, various energy analysis methods are adopted. These methods are based on the first law of thermodynamics or a combination of the first and second law of ...

Polyamide 6 is a very tough polymer having high tensile strength. It is also highly resistant to chemicals which makes it very good candidate for gas separation. In this research CO2/CH4 gas permeation behavior was observed ...

Titania nanoparticles have exceptional mechanical properties which make them very attractive for the development of composite membranes. In this research, CO2, O2 and N2 gas permeation behavior of flat sheet composite ...

The adverse and severe effects of particulates and toxic gasses on human health and environment demand an efficient scrubbing system which reduces the toxicity of the pollutants to a desirable value. Venturi scrubber is ...

Fractionation of crude oil in crude distillation unit (CDU) is an energy intensive process. It is carried out on the basis of cutpoint temperatures, i.e., the tray temperature of the CDU at which a product stream is ...

The purpose of this research is to develop a polychloroprene rubber based industrial contact adhesive with higher strength as compared to the commercially available adhesives. The focus of this new adhesive would be on ...

Different formulations of EPDM based composite were synthesized to achieve a composition that gives best mechanical properties. Silica, alumina, ATH, MDH, Kevlar chips, phenolic resin were used as reinforcements in EPDM. ...
