    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 …

    Fabrication and Comparative Study of Synthetic and Eggshell Waste Derived Hydroxyapatite-Based Composites for Biomedical Applications

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

    Abstract: Hydroxyapatite is widely used as a bioceramic material in orthopedic and dental field because of its exceptional biocompatibility and bioactivity. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) doped with several mineral ions has been frequently reported to further enhance its bioactive nature. Several studies indicate that biological waste materials can serve as calcium sources for hydroxyapatite synthesis, with eggshells being one such promising source. In the present work, two types of hydroxyapatite were synthesized: pure …

    Impact of Mould Material on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminium Castings: A Comparative Study with Aluminium Matrix Composites

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

    Abstract: Casting has a wide industrial usage because it allows manufacturing complicated forms even at a comparatively low cost. Issues like transfer of heat through the interface of the mould and the metals, the rate of solidification, and the characteristics of the mould material have a powerful impact on the quality of cast products. This study measures the influence of various mould substances on the mechanical characteristics of aluminium castings. Sand, …
