Thermal and Morphological Characterization of Rice Starch–Charcoal Composites for Eco-Friendly Engineering Applications
Abstract: This work focuses on the development and evaluation of rice starch–charcoal–based composite materials to overcome the limitations of natural composites with low thermal properties. In order to examine the impact of filler concentration on thermal and structural performance, eight composite specimens were created by altering the ratios of rice starch and charcoal. TGA, DTA, AFM, SEM, and measurements of thermal conductivity and effusivity were used to thoroughly characterize the composites. …

Nano Positioning for Large Scanning Range for XY Mechanism
Abstract: In this study, an XY flexure stage that provides a variety of motion options while reducing incorrect motions is designed and assessed. In the flexure design, the double parallelogram flexure modules are positioned methodically and symmetrically. The performance of the flexure stage is assessed using finite element analysis, and experimental testing is performed to validate the findings. The built-in prototype of the flexure stage has dimensions of 350 mm x …

Experimental investigation of thermally grown Indium film’s structural and tribological properties
Abstract: Indium thin film growth found numerous applications, such as cold welding of infrared detectors and readout-integrated circuits (ROIC) to form sensor chips. In film is grown on the Si substrate by thermal evaporation. The XRD results indicated the tetragonal bcc phase in the (101) preferential plane. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated an uniform, continuous film covering the whole surface. The EDS examination confirmed the pure In film. The atomic force …

Evaluation of Inhibition Effect of Nanohybrid Curcumin (Cur-ZnO) and Cur-free Against Some Types of Bacteria
Abstract: This study aimed to prepare an efficient nanohybrid food preservative by loading curcumin on zinc oxide. The prepared compound was characterized using microscopy and spectral methods. Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the nanohybrid curcumin showed a shift in the frequencies of some chemical groups towards high and low frequencies. X-ray diffraction (XRS) spectrum also revealed the emergence of new diffraction planes in the nanohybrid compound, Compared with the carrier spectrum …
