Polyolefin and layered silicate nanocomposites are expected to replace metals and high performance engineering thermoplastics with lower cost in future. Development of multifunctional nanocomposite system with enhanced mechanical properties, oxygen permeability resistance and flame retardant required excellent structural characteristic. To obtain s

From a statistics accounted in 1999, 48% of plastic bottle that used is made from PET. Among them a huge percentage are end up as garbage and caused the landfills. This toxic waste pollutes our subsurface water label through leaching. PLA is a strong candidate to substitute conventional petroleum based polymer. Kenaf fiber was added to reduce the c

This research paper investigates the meaning and implications of economic terms mentioned in the Qur'an and Sunnah. These include the concepts of human nature, balance (islah), disorder (fasad), justice ('adl), poverty (faqr), sustenance (rizq), spending (infaq), extravagance (israaf), earning (kasb), unlawful (batil) acquisition of wealth,

Over the year, biometrics features which include but not limited to face, fingerprints, iris, hand geometry, palm print have been explored as a means of individual/ personal recognition. However, the existing spectra of biometric devices in real world application are contact-based devices and are mostly unimodal system. These system have not only g

Continuous viable research to develop LMOs/ GMOs by biotechnologists around the world is a sine qua non. It will cater the need of the time in manifest ways, especially by providing subsistence to ever growing populations in developing and least developed countries because they will experience rise of their populations until 2050 which will escalat

The regulation of 4-hydroxybutyrate (4HB) molar fraction in the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] of a local isolate Cupriavidus sp. USMAA1020 was attempted by employing a feeding strategy through fed-batch fermentation in 100-L fermenter. The growth of Cupriavidus sp. USMAA1020 was enhanced by frequently feeding carbon a

Biocomposite made of polylactic acid (PLA) reinforced with natural kenaf bast fibre (KF) using twin screw extruder and injection molding machine has been developed. The effect of kenaf fibre content on crystallization and melting behavior has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amourphous state of PLA was remain un

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) composite reinforced with Hibiscus cannabinus, L fiber (kenaf fiber, KF) was prepared via melt blending method using internal mixer at temperature 180Compatibilized PP/EPDM-Kenaf Fibre Composite using Melt Blending Method 1H.

Nanocomposites are the materials that are created by introducing nanoparticulates that always referred to as filler into the matrix. Blends of polypropylene (PP)/ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM)/Montmorillonite (MMT) were treated by compatibilizer MAPP and irradiation of electron beam. The effects on mechanical properties for both samples wer

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) blends have been developed offering various advantages and required no state-of-the-art processing machinery, while scrap and rejects are recyclable. The use of thermoplastic and elastomer however posses several limitations due to the increasing prices of plastics and natural rubber over the past few years. Hence, ef
