Composites are a popular choice in the current industrial scenario for number of reasons and their extensive use poses serious environmental issues. This prompts us to explore possibilities completely natural composites that can strike balance between performance ease disposal. In this regard, novel “Green” composite material constituting Chitosan as matrix conjunction with other reinforcements...

Coir has the honorable distinction of being such an excellent decorative item in homes wealthy and a helpful article huts underprivileged. As result, it meets needs all social classes. These small-scale businesses can create various coir goods using heavy-duty handlooms they have set up their facilities. units are only present Ambalapuzha Cherthala, two taluks Alappuzha district. The industry m...

We report a comprehensive investigation of the triple perovskite iridate Ba$_{3}$CoIr$_{2}$O$_{9}$. Stabilizing in hexagonal $P6_{3}/mmc$ symmetry at room temperature, this system transforms to monoclinic $C2/c$ magnetic phase transition. On further reduction partially distorts an even lower ($P2/c$), with both these structurally disparate phases coexisting down lowest measured temperatures. Th...

Brassica microgreens are typically cultivated using a peat-based growing substrate with higher production cost as this must be imported from overseas. In Vietnam, source of local bio-materials that could used to replace peat, resulting in more affordable substrates. Several substrates for were evaluated study: GT1 (30% sand +20% organic soil + 50% coco coir), GT2 (75% coir 25% rice husk), GT3 C...

Landslide is one of the major natural hazards the world is facing. It happens as a result of both man-made as well as natural factors. It causes severe effects on the environment as well as for the mankind. The main triggering factors of landslide are rainfall/snowfall, tectonic activities and human activities. There are many methods adopted for controlling landslides. The study was carried out...

1. Dietary fibre has a water holding capacity (WHC) and this is a function of the fibre source and method of measurement. Water can be associated with fibre either as trapped water or bound water. This makes it difficult to predict the ability of fibre to influence stool weight in humans. 2. Examination of various fibre concentrates for chemical composition, as neutral detergent fibre (NDF), ac...

Recently, there has been a fast growth in research and investigation in the natural fibre composite due to the advantages of these materials, such us low environmental impact, low cost and good mechanical properties compared to synthetic fibre composites. Much effort has gone into increasing the mechanical performance and applications of natural fibes. This paper examines the mechanical propert...
