The increasing demand for lightweight and thermally insulating materials in various industries, including building and construction, oil and gas, and others is boosting the growth and enhancing the adoption potential of aerogels. The broad application scope is attributed towards, the high specific area, low density and enhanced thermal resistance. ...

Plastics manufactured from primary chemicals derived from crude oil are not completely biodegradable and environment friendly. The eco-friendliness of the plastics depends upon the ability of the plastics to degrde under specific conditions. Emissions from the plastics production and the disposal of single use plastics in to landfills is a major co...

Graphene oxide (GO), due to its unique properties, is gaining the focus of researchers and companies alike for use in various industries including energy, batteries, electronics, materials and mobility. GO is found to exhibit requisite tribological properties as solid lubricants, oil-based lubricant additives, water-based lubricants additives and f...

Filtration is of utmost importance due to its ability to reduce contaminants in the effluent stream, air or water. Filtration technologies are primarily classified based on adsorption, absorption and membrane filtration. Technical fabrics are usually filter- and screen-based fabrics made using varied materials, which include natural fibers like cot...
