Ablatives are materials used to protect the inner hardware of aerospace structures from the inimical temperature and shear environments. Fifty six diverse compositions have been used with numerous incorporations (MWCNTs, ...

The nonlinear optical phenomena and quantum confinement effects in the group II-VI semiconductors make them a potential candidate for use in solar cell and photovoltaic applications. The effects of composition and processing ...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from the environment or other gas mixtures is extremely imperative to reduce the global warming. CO2 gas is acidic in nature and can adversely affect the earth atmosphere by enhancing its ...

This thesis provides an insight to resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs) and thermo-optic coefficients (TOCs) accompanying various organic and inorganic materials. The RWGs structures were designed by Fourier Modal Method ...

HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1) is the causative agent of the deadliest disease AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Disorder Syndrome) with no cure and vaccine till now. Around 36.3 million died due to AIDS and AIDS-related ...

Range extension is an essential and perpetual requirement for gun ammunition while no country in the world can afford to replace the gun system per se. Accordingly, it becomes all the more important to extend the gun range ...

The detonation of an energetic material (EM) is mainly manifested in the form of blast, fragmentation and thermal effects. These effects are very destructive and cause injuries-being fatal-and structural damage as well. ...

Aluminum/carbon nanotubes (Al-CNTs) composite is an encouraging candidate material for aerospace applications due to its expected high strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer remarkable reinforcements owing ...

In higher degree burns, due to deep dermal damage, the wound healing and re-epithelialization processes are significantly delayed which predisposes open wounds to microbial invasion. Sepsis associated high mortality rate ...

Supercapacitors are one of the most frequently explored devices for energy storage applications. In comparison with conventional dielectric capacitors, supercapacitors have energy storage capacities several orders of ...
