Microwave absorbing material (MAM) are the type of material which absorbs the electromagnetic waves and converts into thermal energy1. The MAM are used in military applications also used in EMI reduction, radio detection, antenna pattern shaping, microwave technology and radar…
Industrial oily wastewater has become a worldwide challenge and petrochemical and marine industries deal with a number of oil spillage incidents[1]. These issues have caused severe environmental destruction. Emulsified oils from industries and daily life will further aggravate the crisis…
The nervous system consists of a central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). CNS includes the brain, spinal cord, optic, and olfactory and auditory systems, and provides excitatory stimuli to the PNS. In the case of small injuries,…
Friction and wear reduction is a challenge to the modern transportation industry due to high energy consumption and maintenance costs[1]. A high friction coefficient will degrade the durability and reliability of a tribosystem. Therefore, reducing the friction coefficient has to…
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor, fractures or pathological deformations that cannot heal on their own create a great challenge in the field of orthopedics. Traditional methods like autografts and allografts rely on obtaining a suitable tissue from another…
Transportation of molecules into plant cells is more challenging compared to animal cells. Their extra cell wall acts as a barrier in addition to the cell membrane. The cell wall’s complex structure has limited the use of DNA for promising…
Storage of hydrogen is a critical challenge for various applications due to its high reactivity and the necessity for high capacity- high pressure storage medium which is not favourable [1]. The potential solution is adsorption of hydrogen onto a solid…
We are pleased to see a new publication with NoPo HiPCO® SWCNT in the Pharma application. Our Nanotubes were Amine functionalized by researchers at JNTU, Hyderabad and characterised using their advanced facilities. SURFACE MODIFICATION AND NON-COVALENT FUNCTIONALIZATION OF SINGLE-WALLED CARBON…
Carbon fibers offer lightweight and high strength/high modulus based on the raw material used to produce the fibers. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fibers showcase high tensile strength and lower modulus compared to pitch based fibers. Researchers have found that carbon…
Graphene is a one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon. It is a 2-dimensional nanomaterial. The structure is similar to honeycomb with sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. It possesses noticeable mechanical, electrical, and optical properties[1]. The production method of graphene involves chemical vapour deposition…
