Azobenzene molecules show excellent application potential in many fields due to their photoisomerization properties. Azobenzene molecules will gradually change from trans-structure to cis-structure under the irradiation of UV. In this paper, we have synthesized 4,4'-dibromoazobenzene molecules and characterized their photoisomerization properties. We found that with the extension of UV time, the trans absorption...

The study investigated the effect of eggshell and groundnut husk as fillers on flexible polyether foam. The fillers with the particle sizes of 50µm each were mixed in the ratio of 50:50. Diverse percentages of the two combined fillers ranging from 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% were incorporated into the polyether recipes in the...

Present study focuses on the carbon fiber sizing and their effect on overall mechanical properties of composites. Fiber sizing are one of the most important component in the manufacturing of composites. As the sizing are so much of importance in the manufacturing and development of composites which governs mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness....

As India is a world class producer of sugarcane, sugar beet, other tubers like potato and vegetables with  starch, cashew and badam, castor oil and soybean, the quantum of bio resins and bio plastics that can be produced from these conventional, organic and genetically modified plants is immense. As on date, advanced and state...
