Synthesis of Silica Nanoparticles using Sodium Silicate Solution by Sol Gel Method
Abstract: The most commonly used route for synthesizing silica nanoparticles is sol-gel method due to its ability to produce monodispersed with narrow-size distribution nanoparticles at mild conditions. Recent advances in the sol-gel process for synthesis of monodispersed, narrow-size distribution nanoparticles have boosted the development of silica-polymer nanocomposites significantly. The focus of this research is on the synthesis of silica nanoparticles, size-dependent property characterization, and surface modification for the creation of homogenous …

Utilization of Waste Groundnut Shell Ash in Zero Cement Concrete
Abstract: Currently, geopolymer concrete serves as an excellent alternative to traditional plain cementconcrete, as it is produced without using ordinary Portland cement. Different source materials suchas fly ash, rice husk ash, metakaolin, red mud etc. are preferred to act as the main source forgeopolymer production. In this work, a new innovative waste material such as groundnut ash isutilized as the source material for the manufacture of geopolymer concrete by considering thestrength, …
