Sustainable development is a major issue confronting society today. Cement, constituent of concrete, key component any infrastructure development. The drawback cement production that it involves the emission CO2, predominant greenhouse gas causing global warming. geopolymers has resulted in decrease production, as well reduction CO2 emissions. During mass concrete construction very large struct...

BACKGROUND Pretreatment is necessary to reduce biomass recalcitrance and enhance the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification for biofuel production. Ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment has gained a significant interest as a pretreatment process that can reduce cellulose crystallinity and remove lignin, key factors that govern enzyme accessibility. There are several challenges that need to be addres...

Good and Hughes [9] introduced the notion of bi-ideal and Steinfeld [11, 12] introduced the notion of quasi-ideal. Sioson [10] studied some properties of quasi-ideals of ternary semigroups. In [1], Dixit and Dewan studied about the quasi-ideals and bi-ideals of ternary semigroups. Quasi-ideals are generalization of right ideals, lateral ideals, and left ideals whereas bi-ideals are generalizati...

In this work, ternary polymer blends based on polypropylene (PP)/ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) /poly(styrene-b (ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride grafted SEBS (SEBS-g-MAH) at various compositions were prepared by co-rotating twin screw extruder. The effects of PET, SEBS and SEBS-g-MAH compatibilizer on morphology of the blends were ex...

Issues such as rising fuel prices, costs, and lowering reserves highlight the importance of research into sustainable fuels derived from biological sources. This study is focused on experiments a CI engine using ethanol propanol-based ternary blends. Palm biodiesel kept constant at 40% volumetric concentration, while diesel ethanol/propanol are varied in different batches. The results obtained ...

One of the most appealing material systems for solar energy conversion is all-polymer blend. Presently, three key merits (power efficiency, operation stability and mechanical robustness) exhibited a trade-off in particular blend system, which greatly limit its commercial application. Diverting classic ternary tactic organic cells based on polymer, nonfullerene small molecule fullerene, herein w...

Computer simulations reveal how photoinduced chemical reactions in polymeric mixtures can be exploited to create long-range order in materials with features that range from the submicron to the nanoscale. The process is initiated by shining a spatially uniform light on a photosensitive AB binary blend, which thereby undergoes both a reversible chemical reaction and a phase separation. When a we...
