Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable intracellular microbial product produced by many bacteria and it is comparable to some of the petrochemical derived thermoplastics such as polypropylene. One of the main ...

Growth inhibition kinetics of a novel non-acetone forming butanol producer, Clostridium sporogenes BE01,was studied under varying concentrations of acetic and formic acids in rice straw hydrolysatemedium. Both the organic ...

The science of polymer solar cells and the technology based on it is now pursued as a very exciting and promising area of research at leading universities, national laboratories, and companies throughout the world. In ...

The removal of an organic synthetic-dye from an aqueous solution via the adsorption and decolorization processes, typically occurring in the dark-condition on the surface of semiconductor-oxides nanotubes-based adsorbents, ...

In the present investigation, composites with silicon carbide particle (SiCp) as reinforcement and AZ91 magnesium alloy as matrix have been synthesized using liquid metal stir-casting technique with optimized processing ...

A green colored nano-pigment Y2BaCuO5 with impressive near infra-red (NIR) reflectance (61% at 1100 nm) was synthesized by a nano-emulsion method. The developed nano-crystalline powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction ...

Polar and non-polar extracts of Njavara yellow rice (NYr) and bran (NYb) were investigated for antioxidant activity, chemical indices, anti-inflammatory effects, and bioactive compounds, of which the results were compared ...

Dielectric ceramics based on Ca9Nd2W4O24 (CNW) and Ca9Sm2W4O24 (CSW) were synthesized using solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction and EDAX analysis showed that phase purity could be achieved when ceramics were ...
