Functionally Graded Natural Fibre and SiC-reinforced Polymer Composite: Mechanical Properties
Abstract: Multifunctional materials, also called functionally graded materials (FGMs), are based on natural fibres or fillers and vary in composition and/or microstructure to control functional, structural, or thermal, properties. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been created for use in spacecraft, aircraft, and other engineering applications because they can withstand extremely high temperatures. Particle-reinforced FGMs, which make up the majority of FGMs, are made differently depending on their position. The mechanical and …

A Review on Loading Methodologies of Active Aromatic Substance into Biopolymers
Abstract: Biopolymer-based films are increasingly being studied as sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging materials due to their biodegradability, renewability, and potential for functionalization. There are several natural polymers in the category of biopolymers such as soy protein, zein, cellulose, chitosan, and several other biodegradable synthetic polymers such as polylactic acid and polycaprolactone. However, these often show limitations in barrier properties, mechanical strength, and resistance to microbial contamination. To overcome these drawbacks, …

Precision Medicine for Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Progress and Prospects in Drug Discovery
Abstract: Objective: The development of neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots, and other neurological problems are the hallmarks of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a hereditary disorder. The dearth of efficacious pharmaceutical therapies underscores the need for novel therapeutic approaches, even in the face of clinical variability. Through very accurate prediction of the binding affinity of possible therapeutic drugs with the target protein, the computational technique known as “molecular docking” has become a potent tool …
