Synthesis and Characterization of Forsterite Incorporated HDPE Composites for Microwave Substrate Application
Abstract: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) combined with dispersed forsterite (Mg₂SiO₄) powder was utilized to fabricate polymer matrix composites (PMCs) aimed at high-frequency microwave substrate applications. Forsterite powders were synthesized using the mixed oxide method, and their phase purity was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The dispersion and morphology of the ceramic filler within the HDPE matrix were examined through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), ensuring a homogeneous distribution essential for optimal …

Enhancing Functional and Structural Properties of Advanced Materials through Scandium-based Nanostructures: Applications in Ceramics, Thermoelectrics, Memory Devices, and High-Strength Alloys
Abstract: This study explores the fabrication and properties of scandium-based nanostructured materials with applications in ceramics, glass, thermoelectric modules, switching devices, and strengthened alloys. Scandium oxide (Sc₂O₃) nanopowders were synthesized using precipitation techniques and subsequently sintered to create transparent ceramics with fine dispersion. Investigations into scandium-doped metallic glasses demonstrated enhanced plastic deformation, with notable tensile plasticity attributed to its unique nanoglass structure. A new scandium-doped thermoelectric material, ZnCdO, was also developed, …

Novel Catalytic Strategies for Reducing Residual Stresses and Improving Surface Quality in Machined Ceramic Materials
Abstract: To prepare for material cutting and utilize utility-specific edges, it’s crucial to understand the inherent brittleness of ceramics. This brittleness limits the forming methods available and hinders achieving dimensional accuracy and precision through conventional machining techniques. The fabrication of composite materials is becoming increasingly significant, particularly in technical fields like the automotive industry, where they are used to manufacture engine connecting rods, propeller shafts, brake discs, and more. The machining …

AQUASOMES: A Vesicular, Self-assembled Ceramic Nanoparticulate Drug Carrier
Abstract: Nano-biopharmaceutics involves delivery of biopharmaceutical product through different biomaterials like multi-functional nanoparticles, quantum dots, aquasomes, super-paramagnetic iron oxide crystals, and liposomes dendrimers. Aquasomes are considered as one of the most recently developed delivery systems for bioactive molecules like peptides, proteins, hormones, antigens and genes to specific sites. Aquasomes have a spherical shape and a particle size of 60–300 nm. These are three layered self-assembled nano-particulate carrier system. This three-layered structure …
