For many years, petroleum-based polymers have been successfully enhanced by the addition of nanoparticles as additives. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanoclays, 2-D layered materials, and cellulose nano whiskers are a few of the several nanoreinforcements that are currently being researched. In comparison to unmodified polymer resin, the use of these nanofillers with bio-based polymers could improve a wide rang Read More

Materials that modify their chemical or physical characteristics in reaction to diverse stimuli, such as moisture, heat, water, or pH, are commonly known as smart materials or stimuli-responsive polymers. Typical applications for these polymers include catalysis, finishing, and coating processes. Tissue engineering, drug delivery, and gene transportation are additional applications that have emerged in the past two decades. As a Read More

Background: Self-assembly structure is an important area of research for understanding biological systems, owing to its resemblance to the membrane structure of the phospholipid bilayer. In a self-assembly medium, chemical reactions and chemical or physical processes are dramatically different than the bulk phase. Understanding this process in synthesizing self-assembly structures may allow us to explore v Read More

The kinetic and mechanistic pathways of pyridine oxidation by peroxomonophosphate has been studied in an acidic aqueous medium. Reactions of peroxomonophosphoric acid are the least exploited kinetically. This reaction has been attempted to understand the role of oxidation of pyridine and the reactivity pattern of peroxomonophosphate. The reaction has been second order and First-order concerning the oxidant and substra Read More

Background: Solid state reaction of iron(III)citrate leads to a range of ironbased oxides by varying the reaction conditions, e.g., the presence of co-precursor. The influence of reaction conditions on the kinetics of the solid-state reaction of iron(III)citrate needs to be investigated. Objective: Kinetic analysis of the solid-state reaction of iron(III)citrate in the presence of a co-precursor has been explored to realize the influences Read More
