Electronic Waste Vs Environmental Sustainability: Global Ultimatum to Society
Abstract: We often suppose that the risks of electronic waste solely have an effect on us which come back directlywith it and are in the main a consequence of inappropriate handling. Obviously, this can be right andthere are many studies that proof the risks ensuing from direct contact with harmful materialscomparable to lead, metal or chromium. The studies together alert us concerning however differentelements, let's say brominated flame retardants generate toxic …

Structure and dynamics of carbon dangling bonds in activated carbon materials from biomass†
Abstract: Activated carbon materials are inevitable for energy-related applications. Production of such materials from biomass is sustainable. Microporous activated carbon materials with high specific surface area and pore sizes of less than 2 nm find life-saving applications apart from their utility in environmental remediation. The free electron density of these materials is tunable and is a measure of electrical conductivity that is useful for the development of green and renewable energy …

Self-healing Polymer Nanocomposites study using filler effect
Abstract: Polymers, while versatile, often lack the desired mechanical strength, thermal stability, or barrierproperties for high-performance applications. This limitation is elegantly addressed bycreating polymer nanocomposites. These materials are formed by incorporating small amounts(typically 1-5 wt%) of nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, metaloxide nanoparticles) into a polymer matrix. The magic of nanocomposites lies in the incrediblyhigh surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles and their unique interactions with thepolymer chains. …

Fast Lanes by Design: Quantifying RFID Electronic Tolling Impacts on Plaza Halt Times in Highway
Abstract: Abstract—Rapid urban growth and the steady rise in the number of vehicles have made congestion at highway toll plazas a persistent and costly problem. Long queues at toll booths not only waste travelers’ time but also increase fuel consumption, air pollution, and overall operating costs of the transport system. Traditional manual toll collection methods contribute significantly to these delays, as vehicles are required to stop for cash or card-based transactions. …
