Characterization of Polycaprolactone and Rice Husk Silica Composite (PCL-SiO2) by E-Spinning to Apply Supporter for Drug Release
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Abstract. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is an interesting material to apply biomedical field owing to
its biodegradability and biocompatibility which is suitable for a specific site with longer
healing times. Blending the polymer ...
Status of Biomass Derived Carbon Materials for Supercapacitor Application
(Hindawi, 2017-01-31)
Environmental concerns and energy security uncertainties associated with fossil fuels have driven the world to shift to renewable energy sources. However, most renewable energy sources with exception of hydropower are ...
Invasive weeds with pesticidal properties as potential new crops
(Elsevier, 2017-12-30)
Plants with pesticidal properties have been investigated for decades as alternatives to synthetics, but only a handful have been commercialised and developed as non-food cash crops. One of the reasons why pesticidal plants ...
Measurement of Pozzolanic Activity Index of Scoria, Pumice, and Rice Husk Ash as Potential Supplementary Cementitious Materials for Portland Cement
(Hindawi, 2017-08-06)
This work investigated the properties of scoria and pumice as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for Portland cement
and compared to those of rice husk ash (RHA). X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and ...
Tackling soil degradation and environmental changes in Lake Manyara Basin, Tanzania to support sustainable landscape/ecosystem management.
(EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, 2017-04)
The Lake Manyara Basin (LMB), which encompasses Lake Manyara National Park a world ranking World Biosphere Reserve, is of great ecological and socio-economic value because it hosts a small-holder rain fed and extensive ...
Metallic iron for safe drinking water provision: Considering a lost knowledge
(Pergamon, 2017-06-15)
Around year 1890, the technology of using metallic iron (Fe0) for safe drinking water provision was already established in Europe. The science and technology to manufacture suitable Fe0 materials were known and further ...
Theoretical study of structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions existing in vapours over barium dihalides
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
Computational and theoretical methods were employed to study the structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions that were detected earlier in saturated vapour over barium dihalides. The equilibrium ...
Biogas slurry derived mesoporous carbon/metal oxides composites for supercapacitors application
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
With the increasing utilities of intermittent renewable energies, hybrid electric vehicles and portable
electronic devices, supercapacitors have been identified as one of the solution for energy storage
since they can ...
Inhibition of aluminium corrosion using carica papaya extracts in acidic media (sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid)
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)
Corrosion inhibition of aluminium using Carica papaya leaves extracts in 1M H2SO4 and IM H3PO4 was investigated under different temperatures (30, 40 and 500C) and concentrations (from 20-100 v/v %). The inhibitor was found ...
