The present study elucidates the preliminary phytochemical analysis and High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint analysis of lawsone extract of the leaves of Lawsonia inermis (henna) and evaluates their regions and products based quantitative estimations. The lawsone content has been evaluated quantitatively in two plants samples collected from Rewa and Bhopal and one comm...

This research provides an investigation to measure the rate of corrosion steel bars coated with organic inhibitor Lawsonia inermis (Henna) and inorganic Sodium Nitrite (NaNO2) embedded in concrete. Presence on reinforcement reduces bond strength between concrete over a while excessive bar can lead loss ductility, extreme cases collapse. Structures like marine structures, sewage pipes, which are...
