Sulfur is an abundantly available chemical element that is often derived as a byproduct from desulphurization activities in chemical industries and petroleum refineries. Elemental sulfur has conventionally been used for the production of hydrosulfuric acid and fertilizers. The shift towards a circular economy where byproducts are to be used in recy...

Encapsulation is used to preserve/protect various substances within another material at microscale sizes (microencapsulation) and at nanoscale sizes (nanoencapsulation). The material encapsulated is referred to as the ‘core’ whereas the encapsulates is referred to as the ‘shell’. The core material for different nanocapsules differs in size,...

The increasing demand for high performance and cost-effective materials in various industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and others is boosting the growth and enhancing the adoption potential of conductive polymers. Moreover, the dimensional stability, structural strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance characteristics are also...

Measurement while drilling technology is a critical part of the oilfield drilling operations as it enables the driller to achieve precise well placement by efficient steering the drill bit in planned well path to reach the target in shortest possible time. Real-time formation evaluation measurements transmitted to the surface while drilling helps o...

Population growth and rising demand for energy creates an increasing pressure on industries reliant on material resources to find effective means to extend the lifetime of finite resources in the value chain and thereby reduce their use in single-use products. In 2017, the global primary energy consumption grew by 2.2% as compared to 2016 which was...
