A Comprehensive Survey of Polymer Detection Techniques and Computer-Based Analysis Methods for Advanced Material Characterization
Abstract: Polymers are widely used in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, packaging, electronics, and manufacturing industries because of their lightweight nature, durability, and versatility. Accurate polymer identification and characterization are essential for quality control, recycling, performance assessment, and the development of advanced materials. Characterization helps determine important properties such as chemical composition, molecular structure, thermal stability, mechanical strength, and surface morphology, which influence material performance and application suitability. Traditional polymer detection methods include …

Tailoring The Electrochemical Interface of Graphene–Gd₂O₃ Nanocomposites for Advanced Energy Storage
Abstract: Graphene–Gd₂O₃ nanocomposites were synthesized by incorporating varying concentrations of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into Gd₂O₃ using a straightforward room-temperature solution method. The composites were analyzed using various distinct characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical measurements, particularly cyclic voltammetry (CV), demonstrated that the incorporation of graphene significantly enhanced the electrochemical performance …

Influence of B2O3 and Li2O on Physical, Thermal and Spectroscopic properties of Bi2O3-B2O3-CdO-Li2O glass system
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bismuth Borate based glasses with compositions BiBCL: 40Bi2O3-(40-X) B2O3-20CdO-XLi2O where x=5,10,15,20,25 mol% were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopies were used to analyse the synthesized samples. Through XRD and SEM studies, the synthesized glasses amorphous nature was confirmed. To evaluate the physical and structural characteristics of the glasses, calculations were made for the …

Solid acidity of MoO3 synthesized by solution combustion method and acetalization of formaldehyde using it
Abstract: MoO 3 nanoparticles were synthesized via solution combustion approach. Ammonium nitrate was used as oxidant and ammonium molybdate as fuel in combustion reaction. XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy results showed that MoO 3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the solution combustion reaction. The SEM analysis showed that synthesized MoO 3 nanoparticles have rod-like shape with width and thickness of 50-200nm and length of 0.2-1μm, respectively. The XRD pattern and morphology …

Fabrication and Assessment of Tribological Performance of Nickel-Graphene-MXene Hybrid Nano-composites
Abstract: As industries such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and electronics demand materials with superior wear resistance, high strength, and thermal stability, traditional metals are reaching their performance limits. Hybrid nanocomposites offer a pathway to meet these stringent requirements. In this study, novel Nickel-Graphene-MXene hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using a powder metallurgy route, incorporating varying weight percentages (up to 2 wt.%) of MXene and 1 wt.% graphene nanosheets into a nickel matrix …

Spin Coated Polyvinylidene Difluoride / Ionic Liquid Nanocomposite Thin Films with Enhanced Dielectric and Piezoelectric Properties
Abstract: This study introduces a novel approach to enhance the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) by incorporating 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF₄]) ionic liquid via a spin-coating method— a processing route that has been rarely reported for PVDF/ionic liquid composites. Structural and morphological analyses using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm the successful integration of [BMIM][BF₄] into the PVDF matrix. The …

Polymer Waste-Derived Activated Carbon from PET for High-Efficiency Supercapacitor Electrodes
Abstract: The exponential increase in plastic waste, particularly Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)—a polymer characterized by its repeating aromatic terephthalate units and ester linkages—has escalated into a global environmental crisis. This study details a low-cost synthesis of porous carbon materials derived from waste PET via pyrolysis followed by chemical activation with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). During pyrolysis, the PET polymer chains undergo thermal degradation, where the aromatic rings in the backbone serve as precursors …
