Synergetic effects of hemp-banana-bamboo hybridization on mechanical, fracture and dynamic properties of cellulose-rich natural fiber composites.

This study investigates the mechanical, fracture, and vibrational properties of hybrid natural fiber reinforced composites, incorporating hemp, banana, and bamboo-based Cellulose-rich fibers. Combining cellulose-rich fibers with complementary properties, seven different composites (pure and hybrid) with epoxy as the matrix were prepared using compression molding method. Unlike prior studies focusing on single fiber composites, this work systematically examines two and tri-fiber hybrid composites to optimize mechanical and dynamic performance.

A facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Woodfordia fruticosa flower extracts for certain bacteria inhibition applications.

The present research focused on extraction of bioactive compounds from Woodfordia fruticosa flower (WF) using ethanol, methanol and ethyl acetate as solvents and the development of silver nanoparticles using these extracts for inhibition of (), (), (), and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) bacteria. The functional groups of bioactive compounds present in the solvent extracts were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Exploring the Electrochemical Performance of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoparticles Entrenched in Miscible Poly(methyl methacrylate)-Poly(lactic acid) Blends as Freestanding Electrodes for Supercapacitors.

The focus of the study in this article is analyzing the electrochemical properties of molybdenum disulfide on miscible poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(lactic acid) blends for supercapacitors. The interaction between molybdenum disulfide and miscible poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly(lactic acid) blends, affinity toward water, surface morphology, and mechanical properties are inspected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle, scanning electron microscopy, and universal testing machine, respectively. Among the developed membranes, 0.

Experimental Studies on the Effect of Expired Amiodarone Drug (EAD) as a Corrosion Inhibitor on Mild Steel in 1 M HCl.

In the present investigation, the corrosion tendency of mild steel under acidic pH was studied by employing unused expired amiodarone (EAD) drug as a potential corrosion inhibitor by adopting the weight loss measurement method. The corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) of the formed protective film (EAD) on the steel surface was analyzed using potentiodynamic polarization and AC-impedance spectroscopy studies. The surface morphology of the mild steel before and after corrosion (in 1.
