Chemical Modifications and Tensile Properties of Areca Leaf Sheath Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Areca leaf sheath (ALS) fiber is a promising eco-friendly material, offering a sustainable, lightweight, and cost-effective alternative for low-strength applications. Its natural biodegradability aligns well with the growing global demand for environmentally responsible materials. This review explores the transformative effects of chemical treatments, such as alkali, silane, and benzoylation, on the tensile properties of Areca leaf sheath fibers. Among these, alkali treatment consistently demonstrates the most significant improvement in tensile …

Quality Sustainability Of Recycled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
Abstract: The main way to reduce the generated large amounts of polymer waste is their recycling, their return to the processes of processing and reuse. The main and most commonly used method is mechanical recycling, in which some of the characteristics of the processed material deteriorate. It is known that the properties of the recyclate are most significantly affected by the homogeneity and the degree of aging of the end-of-life plastic …

A Critical Review of Gandhaka & Its Shodhan Research Work with Special Emphasis on the 1st Method Following Rasatarangini
Abstract: Background: Ayurveda is an ancient healthcare system that influences many modern treatments. One of its key branches, Rasa Shastra, studies the health benefits of strong minerals and metals like mercury, sulphur, mica, and black bitumen. Among these, sulphur is critical for detoxification, blood purification, and digestion, being the third most common element in the human body after calcium and phosphorus. Before sulphur is used in Ayurvedic medicine, it must be …

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Arecanut Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite
Abstract: This study investigates the mechanical performance of arecanut fiber-reinforced epoxy composites, aiming to evaluate their potential for sustainable industrial applications. Arecanut husk fibers, an agricultural waste product, were selected for their natural abundance and biodegradability. To enhance fiber-matrix bonding, the fibers were chemically treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which effectively removes lignin, hemicellulose, and other impurities, improving surface roughness and interfacial adhesion. The treated fibers were then incorporated into an …

Performance and Exergy Loss Analysis for a Single Slope Solar Still Using PMMA
Abstract: A solar still constructed using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) represents an improved approach to solar desalination, in which conventional materials such as metal or concrete are substituted or reinforced with PMMA- based composites PMMA sheets are often used as the transparent glazing cover of the solar still instead of glass. It allows maximum solar radiation to pass into the basin, heating the saline/brackish water effectively. A tubular solar still made from …

Review on Effect of the Chemical Composition of some Pharmaceutical Vaccines and their Biochemical Efficacy with Chemical Techniques
Abstract: Chemical compounds are fundamental components in the formulation of medicines and vaccines, playing a critical role in ensuring their safety, stability, and effectiveness. Vaccines contain a combination of active and inactive ingredients, including weakened or inactivated viruses or bacteria, toxins, preservatives, stabilizers, adjuvants, antibiotics, and minerals. The active ingredient is an antigen, which stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and defend against specific infectious diseases. Adjuvants, such as aluminum …
