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 …

Structural Modification of Sugarcane Bagasse using Alkaline, Acid, and Bleaching Pretreatments for Enhanced Yield of Poly (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (Cellulose) and Hemicellulose for Utilization as Biocomposites
Abstract: Sugarcane bagasse, a lignocellulosic byproduct generated in substantial quantities by the sugar industry, represents a promising feedstock for the sustainable production of enzymes and bio-based chemicals. Its high (1→4)-β-D-glucopyranose (cellulose) content, abundant availability, and low cost make it an ideal candidate for bioconversion processes. However, the inherent recalcitrance of bagasse, primarily due to its lignin-rich matrix, necessitates effective pretreatment strategies to enhance enzymatic digestibility. This study presents a comparative investigation …

The Silent Mineral: Structural Complexity and Industrial Utility of Natural Kaolin
Abstract: Kaolin, a naturally occurring aluminosilicate clay predominantly comprising the mineral kaolinite (Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄), exhibits a 1:1 layered silicate structure that imparts distinctive physicochemical properties suitable for extensive industrial utilization. Deposits of kaolin are broadly classified into primary (residual) and secondary (sedimentary) categories, each defined by their geological origin and mineralogical features. The industrial processing of kaolin encompasses stages such as raw material extraction, beneficiation, and purification, aiming to optimize parameters including …

Assessment of Hygiene Degradation and Expiry Indicators in Household Bedding Products
Abstract: Household bedding products such as pillows, bedsheets, blankets, and mattresses play a crucial role in ensuring comfort, sleep quality, and overall health. However, prolonged use without timely replacement or proper maintenance can result in hygiene degradation, leading to the accumulation of dust, allergens, microorganisms, and chemical wear. This study aims to assess the factors contributing to hygiene decline and to identify reliable indicators of expiry for common bedding items. The …
