Montmorillonite (MMT) is a layered silicate clay which belongs to the smectite clay group with a wide range of applications in medicine, polymer industry, ceramic industry and nano materials. This research is focused on ...

Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3, Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 and Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3 thin films were fabricated by a modified sol-gel technique on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates. All BaxSr1-xTiO3 films crystallized in the perovskite ...

Montmorillonite (MMT) nano clay has attracted lot of attention due to its ability toimpart superior mechanical, thermal and gas-barrier properties to polymer-clay nano composites. Therefore, this clay has a huge demand ...

Pollution by heavy metals is a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems because some of these metals are potentially toxic even at very low concentrations. Chitosan, a biopolymer produced from crustacean shells, has applications ...

In this study natural biopolymer "chitosan" was synthesized using locally available shrimp type of Penaeus monodon. Synthesis of chitosan involved four main stages: preconditioning, demineralization, deprotenisalion and ...
