paper reports the fabrication of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) and its mixed oxides (alpha-Fe2-xO3Cux, alpha-Fe2-xO3Cox, alpha-Fe2-xO3Nix) by hydrothermal technique without using any surface directing agent or capping agent. The ...

In the present investigation results on the use of dried leaves as a reductant for manganese ore leaching is reported. A complete flow-sheet consisting of steps such as reductive acid leaching, enrichment of leach solution ...

The development of ultrasmall, luminescent metal nanoclusters (MNCs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics is a relatively new research area that has gained significant attention in various multidisciplinary ...

In the present paper, dry sliding wear behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy consisting of bimodal microstructure sliding against EN-31 steel at different sliding velocities (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 m/s) and applied loads (60, ...

The dual effect of in-situ addition of anionic surfactants, sodium octyl sulfate (SOS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of electrolytic ...

A rhodamine-6G derivative was investigated as a molecular probe for qualitative and quantitative detection of water present in traces in 1,4-dioxane. The photophysical perturbations in the probe exhibiting both colorimetric ...

A dual strategic approach has been adopted via judicious design and synthesis of a new triazole-substituted perfluorinated aromatic nitrile (Tz-PFCN) building block to prepare three defluorinated triazole-embedded covalent ...

The dynamical recrystallization of Micro-alloyed forging steel was investigated at deformation temperatures of 850-1150 degrees C and strain rates of 0.01-5 s(-1) on a Gleeble-1500 dynamic thermo-mechanical simulator. The ...

Dynamics of heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, and Cd in surface water of Mahanadi River estuarine systems were studied taking 31 different stations and three different seasons. This study demonstrates ...

The twentieth century has witnessed a transformation of Para rubber (Hevea brasitiensis) from a wild tree species to a major plantation crop of South and Southeast Asia. In India, rubber cultivation was started in Southern ...
