A Review on the Fabrication Techniques of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract: AbstractThe recent trend towards the use of composites is increasing in the ongoing research and islikely to continue rapidly in the future. Nowadays, aluminium (Al) and aluminium alloy basedcomposites are gaining importance in the upcoming fields of engineering. Metal matrixcomposites (MMC`s) with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforcements give superior mechanicaland physical properties. Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites (AMMC`s), sought over otherconventional materials in the field of automobile, aerospace, defense, sports, electronics, biomedicaland …

Investigation of Oxidation Behaviour of Plasma Sprayed Carbon Nanotubes-Alumina Coated ASME-SA213-T22 Boiler Tube Steel
Abstract: AbstractIn this research work, carbon nanotubes reinforced Al2O3 coated ASME-SA213-T22 boilertube steel was investigated for high temperature oxidation behaviour at 900ï‚°C temperature inthe air. The coatings were deposited using plasma spray technique and NiCr was used asbond coat before applying CNTs-Al2O3 coatings. The hot corrosion studies were conducted onuncoated as well as plasma spray coated specimens in air at 900°C under cyclic conditions.The thermogravimetric technique was used to establish kinetics …

Morphological and Optical Characterization of Zinc Sulphide Nanostructure Synthesized by Green Route of Musa Peels
Abstract: AbstractZinc sulphide nanoparticles are very good candidate for optoelectronic applications. In this paper we have reported green synthesis of zinc sulphide nanoparticles using Musa peels available in abundance as organic waste. Various precursor ratios and various extract concentrations were used. The samples obtained were analyzed using optical and morphological characterization. Strong blue shift in absorption edges was observed for increasing concentration of thiourea. It also was influenced by concentration of …

Technological Procedure for Recycling of PET Waste to Achieve the Sustainable Environment Concept
Abstract: AbstractIn this research, polyethylene terephthalate bottles (PET) waste were added to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to manufacture road bumps, as a technological procedure for recycling this waste In order to maintain a clean and sustainable environment. Polyethylene terephthalate bottles were cut as grooved strips and added to bump SBR batch with various percentages (0–100 pphr). Mechanical tests were performed before and after the addition of PET waste includes: tensile strength, hardness, …

Thermal Conductivity Models Effect on the Nanofluids Heat Transfer Capability
Abstract: AbstractNanofluids are the suspension of solid particles in the fluid. Nanofluid possesses high thermal conductivity and higher surface area to volume ratio which helps in increasing the heat transfer. Thermal properties of nanofluids like, effective density, effective specific heat and effective thermal conductivity are the properties behind the increased heat transfer. Present work focuses on the effect of solid nano-particle concentration and thermal conductivity models on the thermal properties of …

Development of Characterization Techniques of Various Nanocomposites: A Review
Abstract: Abstract Nanotechnology is basic research and development that is a phenomenon in laboratories all over the world. A nanometer (nm) is one thousand millionth of a meter. For comparison, a red blood cell is approximately 7,000 nm wide and a water molecule is almost 0.3 nm across. Nano-scale is a scale where the properties of materials can be very different from those at a larger scale. Nanoscience is a study …
