E-Waste Toxicity and Its Environmental Impact, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Waste Management in India
Abstract: Introduction: E-waste describes any electronic component that is obsolete or no longer functional. The ever-increasing public concern of e-waste in India stems predominantly from the aggressive expansion of the electronics industry along with insufficient recycling and disposal practices. Lead, mercury, and cadmium in e-waste pose serious risks to human health and the environment by polluting air, soil, and water. Informal recycling methods further exacerbate these hazards through unsafe practices. This …

Structural Optimization of FDM-Processed ASA Polymer Frames through Acetone Solvent Welding, Variable Infill Strategy, and Layer Orientation: Experimental Validation via Quadcopter Flight Testing
Abstract: Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) is an amorphous terpolymer with superior UV resistance compared to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), as its acrylate rubber phase lacks photodegradation-prone carbon–carbon double bonds. This study proposes acetone solvent welding as a polymer joining method to produce monolithic structures from FDM-processed ASA components, addressing three processing challenges: achieving structural continuity through polymer chain interdiffusion at solvent-wetted interfaces, correcting thermal warping via post-print geometric correction during welding, …
