Samarium Borohydride as Effective Reagent for Synthesis of Various Imines and Secondary Amines
Abstract: A new and economical route for the oxidative homo-coupling of benzylamines with other aryl amines, and cross-coupling of benzyl alcohol and diverse arylamines to give respective imines with a high yield, and chemo-selectivity using samarium borohydride as the catalyst in a mild condition is reported. The sequential addition of samarium borohydride in a one-pot reaction to the imines generated in situ led to the generation of a number of secondary …

Machining Charactrization of Al-SiC Composite Material on EDM
Abstract: In recent years, aluminum alloy-based matrix composites (MMCs) are gaining importance in several aerospace and automobile applications. Aluminum has been used as matrix material owing to its excellent mechanical properties coupled with good formability. Addition of SiC as reinforcement in aluminum system improves mechanical properties of composites. In the present investigation, Al-SiC composite was prepared by powder metallurgy route. Powder metallurgy homogeneously distributes the reinforcement in the matrix with no …

Structural, Optical, Surface, and Gas-Sensing Properties of rGO/Sn1–xZnxO₂ Nanocomposites
Abstract: rGO/Sn₁–ₓZnₓO₂ nanocomposites with x = 0.00–0.75 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion followed by wet impregnation with reduced graphene oxide. The adopted synthesis route enabled homogeneous Zn incorporation into the SnO₂ matrix and uniform distribution of rGO, leading to improved structural integrity and interfacial contact between the two components. XRD confirmed a dominant tetragonal cassiterite SnO₂ structure, while FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV–visible, and BET analyses verified oxide–rGO coupling, Zn-dependent structural modification, …

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation Study on the Evolution of Photoinitiated Free Radical Polymerization Crosslinked Networks
Abstract: Gradient polymer materials overcome the limitations of conventional homogeneous polymers by integrating multiple distinct functionalities within a single continuous structure. Although photoinitiated free-radical polymerization offers excellent spatial and temporal control, the underlying microscopic mechanisms governing network evolution under non-uniform light fields remain poorly understood. In this study, a mesoscale dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) model was successfully developed to couple free-radical polymerization kinetics—including initiation, propagation, crosslinking, and termination—with exponential light attenuation …

Processing of Magnesium Metal Matrix Composite Reinforced with Graphene Nano Platelets through Vacuum Stir Casting and Investigating its Mechanical Behaviour
Abstract: AbstractThe application of metal matrix composites (MMCs) as structural engineering materials has received increasing attention in recent years. Their high strength and toughness at elevated temperatures coupled with low-density makes them suitable for use in applications where conventional engineering materials, such as steel are used. MMCs exhibit significantly higher stiffness and mechanical strength compared to matrix alloys, but often suffer from lower ductility and interior fracture toughness. MMCs have the …
