Non-Metallic Material Science

Research progress is required to be enhanced for those storage technologies which store CO2 fast and permanently. However, temporary storage technologies importance cannot be denied to immediately reduce global warming and reduce higher CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Continuous CO2 storage facilities, semi-batch and batch pilot plants deemed necessary to build for future survival of...

The present study investigated the incorporation of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) in red ceramics, sintered in conventional oven and microwave oven, aiming to provide an alternative product, and a sintering process with higher energy efficiency in the production of red ceramics. The raw materials were characterized by XRF, XRD, thermogravimetry, particle size distribution and specific...

In this study, the effect of the addition of various amounts of ZnO (0, 1, 2, and 3 wt. %) to aluminosilicate bioactive glass (BGs) network (SiO2-Al2O3- P2O5-CaF2-CaO-K2O-Na2O) on the mechanical properties of the fabricated glass ionomer cement (GIC) samples was studied. The GIC samples were fabricated by mixing the synthesized aluminosilicate BGs with Rivaself...

There are many techniques for hazard identification and are divided into shortcut, standard and advanced techniques. Among these, HAZOP and What-If techniques are mostly engaged by practitioners in the chemical process industry. Both of these have certain advantages and limitations, i.e., HAZOP is structured, and what-if covers broad range of scenarios. There is no hazard...

The structural model of sodium silicate glass plays a crucial role in understanding the properties and the nature of binary glass and other more complicated silicate glasses. This work proposes a structural model for sodium silicate glass based on the medium-range ordering structure of silica glass and the information found from the Na2O-SiO2 phase diagram....

The importance of implantable biomaterials is growing up in recent days for modern medicine, especially fixation, replacement, and regeneration of load-bearing bones. Through the past several years, metals, ceramics, polymers, and their composites, have been used for the reconstruction of hard tissues. Special standards such as adequate mechanical and biocompatible properties are required to...
