Over the last three decades, most of the efforts in mechanics of materials science have been focused to develop tougher and stronger ceramics via cost effective processing techniques. In the present work, 3 mol % Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) composites with 25 wt. % of ZrB2 was prepared by pressureless sintering method in argon at

Porous organosilica is a promising material to be applied in water treatment due to high adsorption capacity of contaminants. Sol-gel method was used to fabricate mesoporous organosilioca from triblock copolymers, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) as the template and tetraethylorthosilicate as silicate source. The

This paper highlighted the prominence of Muhammad ‘Abduh in science and technology and his contributions in developing scientific methodologies and principles. It discovered his ideas on science, technology, reason, revelation and rationality. It is important to note that Abduhu’s intention was to espouse universal framework of Islamic science.

Two strategies for grain refinement in the Ferritic Stainless Steel (FSS) welds involving cryogenic cooling and elemental metal powder addition into the melt pool are investigated and their performances are evaluated. Full-penetration-bead single pass weld tracks were produced on AISI 430 FSS plate using a Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA). The two grain refi
