  Analyzing Barriers to Digital Procurement in Polymer Composites Supply Chain Using ISM for Sustainable Transformation

  By Amol J. Asalekar, DVA Rama Sastry, Vishal A Bhosale

  Abstract: The adoption of e-procurement in the polymer and composites industry presents a transformative opportunity to enhance supply chain efficiency, reduce material waste, and support sustainable engineering practices. However, industries face significant barriers in transitioning from traditional procurement to digital systems, particularly in sourcing specialized materials such as epoxy resins, bio-based polymers, and hybrid composites. This study employs Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to identify, analyze, and prioritize eleven critical barriers affecting …

  Comparative analysis of thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanoparticles based sunflower and Jatropha vegetable oil

  By Amol J. Asalekar, D.V. A. Rama Sastry

  Abstract: Vegetable oil gained much more interest towards sustainable manufacturing as coolant due to its inherent properties. In this present study, the thermal conductivity of hybrid nanoparticles based sunflower and Jatropha vegetable oil are measured. ZnO-Ag Hybrid nanoparticles were mixed with sunflower and Jatropha vegetable oil in four different volume concentrations of nanofluids ranges from 0.05 to 0.20%. The thermophysical properties viz, thermal conductivity and Stability of prepared hybrid nanoparticles-based vegetable …
