We performed xylanase pretreatment prior to mechanical refining in the production of mulberry branch fibers, with the objective of saving energy and studying the effects of such pretreatment on the quality of the fibers. To determine the effects of the enzyme action, we analyzed the energy required for refining, relat…
Home-structure fires account for 77% of fire deaths and result in more than US$7·7 billion in property damage every year. Wood is a major component in home construction and decoration due to its mechanical properties, aesthetic appeal and renewability, but its inherent flammability poses an ongoing risk. Layer-by-laye…
The application of the thermoelectric generator (TEG) system to various industrial facilities has been explored to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the efficiency of such industrial facilities. In this study, numerical analysis was conducted according to the types and geometry of heat exchangers and manufac…
Jute fibers are explored here as a raw material of quilt for thermal insulation. Alkali treatment of the jute fibers has been conducted to make the fibers soft, bulky, porous, and crimpy. Process of alkali treatment has been optimized by Box–Behnken response surface design to develop maximum crimp in the fiber structu…
Aerobic biodegradation of biocomposites has been studied in both solid and liquid media. The research was concentrated on the biodegradation under aerobic and mesophilic conditions using poly-d-lactic acid (PDLA) and PDLA/cellulose microfibres (CMFs) samples as the sole carbon source. To determine the efficiency of th…
Metasurfaces enable us to control the fundamental properties of light with unprecedented flexibility. However, most metasurfaces realized to date aim at modifying plane waves. While the manipulation of nonplanar wavefronts is encountered in a diverse number of applications, their control using metasurfaces is still in…
Diarylethenes are a well-studied class of photoswitches and have often been linked to partner molecules to render them photoresponsive. Earlier, our lab developed a new type of diarylethenes in which the purine or pyrimidine base of a nucleoside or oligonucleotide serves as one of the two aryl residues of the photochr…
Green composites (GCs) consist of biodegradable resin and natural fibers. Due to the hydrophilicity of constituents, however, GCs are usually susceptible to water absorption. When GCs absorb water, the interface between the resin and fibers peels off, resulting in the shrinkage of the fibers after drying. In this stud…
Electrochromic devices, serving as smart glasses, have not yet been intelligent enough to regulate lighting conditions independent of external photosensing devices. On the other hand, their bulky sandwich structures have been suffering setbacks utilized for reflective displays in an effort to compete with mature emiss…
The development of new contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of high interest, especially because of the increased concerns of patient safety and quick clearance of clinically used gadolinium and iron oxide-based CAs, respectively. Here, a two-step synthesis of superparamagnetic water-soluble i…
Abstract Flax fibres are an agro‐industrial waste available in large quantities in several countries around the world. This resource can be properly used. The goal of this work was to extract lignocellulosic nanosized flax fibres using an environmentally friendly process based on a combination of supercritical carbon…
Abstract This study described the manufacture and characterization of different levels of succinic anhydride (0–15%, w/w) on rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) films. Mechanical, barrier, optical, surface, microstructure, and thermal properties were investigated. Results showed that 5% succinylated rapeseed protein isolat…
Owing to unique characteristics such as lower weight, biodegradability, etc, of natural fibers and as well as increasing attention being given towards renewable material sources demands the investigations particularly for the growth of polymer-based composites. Luffa Cylindrica fiber is one such fiber, whose complete…
The underdoped phase diagram of the iron-based superconductors exemplifies the complexity common to many correlated materials. Indeed, multiple ordered states that break different symmetries but display comparable transition temperatures are present. Here we argue that such a complexity can be understood within a simp…
Two new Krebs-type tungstoantimonates (H 2 en) 8 H 6 {[Sb 2 (WO 2 ) 2 (B-β-SbW 9 O 33 ) 2 ][(WO 2 ) 2 (WO 3 ) 2 (B-β-SbW 9 O 33 ) 2 ]}·22H 2 O ( 1 ) and (H 2 en) 7 [(WO 2 ) 2 (WO 3 ) 2 (B-β-SbW 9 O 33 ) 2 ]·12H 2 O ( 2 ) were synthesized and characterized. Notably, crystal 1 possesses a specific pseudo-seesaw SbO 4 su…
Indium selenide (InSe) is an emerging two-dimensional semiconductor and a promising candidate for next generation thin film transistors (TFTs). Here, we report on Schottky barrier TFTs (SB-TFTs) in which a 0.9-nm-thick HfO2 dielectric layer encapsulates an InSe nanosheet, thus protecting the InSe-channel from the envi…
Precisely patterning large-area quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles is an essential technique for enhancing high-resolution and high-performance in the next-generation display—QLEDs. However, conventional solution-based assembly techniques suffer from trade-offs between large-scale and spatial precision. As such, large non…
The protective effect of 3-mercaptoalkyl derivatives of 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole against corrosion of α-brass in a chloride media was studied using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and full-scale corrosion testing. The brass electrode remains passive up to the activation potential, which i…
Electrical conductivity of electrode plays a vital role in governing the performance of supercapacitor. However, the measurement of conductivity is difficult due to the complex pore structure and binder content in supercapacitor electrode. Characterization of the intrinsic conductivity of carbon network is significant…
Clinically, co-delivery of chemotherapeutics has been limited by poor water-solubility and severe systemic toxicity. This study was aimed at integrating the merits of combination chemotherapy and mixed micellar technology and demonstrating the anticancer potential of doxorubicin (DOX) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) co-l…
