  Valorization of Human and Cattle Dental Waste into Functional Composite Biomaterials: A Detailed Comparative Analysis

  By Subhasis Nath, Sourav Debnath, Soumya Mukherjee, Sujan Krishna Samanta

  Abstract: This study investigates the conversion of human and cattle (goat and cow) teeth into bioactive hydroxyapatite-based composites and presents a detailed comparative evaluation of these biogenic materials with laboratory-synthesised (synthetic) hydroxyapatite (HAp). In this work, hydroxyapatite was extracted from human and bovine teeth through controlled calcination and milling, while synthetic HAp was prepared using a standard wet chemical precipitation route. All materials were subsequently sintered at 900 °C and fabricated …

  Effect of Red Mud Loading on the Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Polypropylene Composites

  By Sourav Basu, Anupam Maiti, Rajib Gupta, Sujan Krishna Samanta, Soumya Mukherjee, Akshay Kumar Pramanick, Sourav Debnath

  Abstract: Waste red mud (RM) serves as a low-cost and sustainable filler material in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. This study investigate the effects of different red mud contents on the dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene-red mud (RM-PP) composites where red mud levels range from 0% to 40% (based on weight percentage). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was conducted for verifying the presence of both polypropylene and red mud in …
