Exploration of Diverse Epoxy-Based Surface Coating Methods for Enhancing Anticorrosion Characteristics
Abstract: Epoxy-based polymers, commonly referred to as polyepoxides, constitute one of the most versatile and widely adopted categories of polymeric materials due to their exceptional structural, mechanical, and chemical characteristics. Their unique macromolecular framework enables strong interfacial bonding, high mechanical stability, and superior resistance to environmental and chemical degradation, positioning them as advanced alternatives to many traditional organic corrosion inhibitors that often fail under prolonged exposure to aggressive conditions When polyepoxides …

Synthesis of Graphene-CeO2 Nanocomposite with Enhanced Electrochemical Properties
Abstract: For the fabrication of graphene–cerium oxide (CeO₂G) composites, 99 mg of cerium oxide (CeO₂, 99.9%) was uniformly dispersed in 100 mL of deionized water via ultra-sonication (40 kHz) to achieve a stable suspension, followed by the incorporation of 1 mg of synthesized graphene. The resulting mixture was maintained at ambient temperature (25 ± 2 °C) under continuous magnetic stirring at 500 rpm for 2 h to promote effective interfacial interaction …

A Review of Modifications of Cement Slurry Formulations for Carbon Dioxide Storage
Abstract: Climate action, which includes activities aimed at mitigating climate change or reducing its adverse impacts, is the thirteenth goal of the 2030 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Tthe successful commercial deployment of CCS technology would heavily rely on the integrity of the cement sheath used to complete the wellbores at the CO₂ storage sites. It has been established that the cement sheath made from conventional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is not …

Design and Implementation of High-Speed Low Power Low Area Hybrid One Bit Full Adder Using CMOS Technology
Abstract: In this article, we'll take a look at a new kind of Full Adder (FA) design that mixes traditional Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (CCMOS) with Pass Transistors (PTs) and Transmission Gates (TGs). To analyze the circuit's performance, we used the Mentor Graphics software package. Since all twenty (20) varieties of Full Adder circuits were able to be measured and compared, this research was conducted. When the clock rate of the …
