Pickering asphalt-water emulsions stabilized by polystyrene nanoparticles obtained from recycled material
Abstract: In recent years, emulsified asphalt has been found to offer numerous advantages over conventional asphalt. More recently still, emulsified asphalt stabilized with nanoparticles has emerged as an option for the construction field because this substance has many advantages over traditional emulsified asphalt, which is formulated with surfactants that tend to be less stable and more toxic. These new formulations are called Pickering emulsions. They can align with basic sustainability principles. …

A Comparative Study of Neem Oil and Mahogany Oil as Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel Exposed to Hydrochloric Acid
Abstract: Corrosion is essentially an oxidation process, wherein the oxidizing agent itself undergoes reduction due to the influence of corrosion agents like salt, air, or moisture. Metals and their alloys naturally tend to react spontaneously with their surroundings, leading to a detrimental impact on their mechanical and physical properties. This project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different oils, namely neem oil and mahogany oil, as agents to prevent acid …
