Stabilization using Waste plastic for Subgrade soil
Abstract: The Biggest challenge in a developing country like India is to build infrastructure system especially roads with limited financial source available. Use of local materials can considerably lower down the construction cost. If the stability of local soil is not adequate for supporting wheel loads, the properties are improved by soil stabilization techniques e.g. use of waste material obtained from industries or waste plastic in the subgrade soil, this can …

Influence of Waste Plastic Dosage on Bituminous Concrete Mix Design Properties
Abstract: Nowadays there is a lot of focus and concern regarding handling waste plastics in order to minimize pollution caused by it to the environment, human life and marine species. Hence to mitigate these problem waste plastics are currently used in the construction of flexible pavements. In the current practices, waste plastics are added to the preheated aggregate which may have a slight improvement in the volumetric property of bituminous mixtures. …

Recycling Multilayer Materials: Discovering Mechanical Parameters for Engineering Applications
Abstract: Multilayer materials have been widely used in various applications such as packaging, electronics, and construction industries. However, the disposal of these materials is becoming a significant environmental concern due to their non-biodegradable nature. Therefore, the recycling of multilayer materials has become an essential aspect of sustainable waste management. The mechanical characteristics of materials recycled from multilayer products were examined in this study. The focus was on determining the impact of …

Nano Finishing of HDPE/Al2O3/HAp Ternary Composite Based Acetabular Socket using Polymer Rheological Abrasive Semisolid Medium
Abstract: Acetabular socket is one of the important parts of the hip joint. The surface roughness in the acetabular socket decides the friction and wear during the motion of the human. Low surface roughness in the acetabular socket gives free motion of hip joint as well as high joint life. Nano surface roughness on the inner surface of acetabular socket also reduce the particles generation during the dynamic motion between hip …

Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

Investigation on Catalyst Selection for Polymerization Processes in Petrochemical Industries
Abstract: Organic polymers are long-chain compounds made of several repeating units. These polymers are either natural, such as protein, cellulose, starch or synthetic, such as polyethylene (a plastic), polyesters and polyamides (plastics and fibers) and polybutadiene (rubber).Many organic compounds possessing multiple bonds have the tendency to polymerize in the presence of an initiator. Polymerization of these compounds can either be affected by the use of chemical initiators such as free radicals …

Fabrication of a Novel and Efficient Radiation Grafted Functionalized Polymer Adsorbent and Investigation of its Applicability in the Adsorptive Removal of Cr (VI) Ion from Aqueous Solution
Abstract: The grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto non-woven polyethylene (PE) fabric was accomplished using a radiation-initiated grafting technique. The grafted textiles were allowed to react using triethylamine to create functioning amine groups. Upon bond formation yield, the impact of grafting intensity has been examined. Utilizing the appropriate technologies, such as FTIR, TGA, and SEM, the adsorbents were rigorously examined. There was evidence of GMA grafting and diamines according to FTIR, …
