Static electricity is a common problem in the world of polymers, which themselves act as electrical insulators. Static electricity causes the surfaces to pick-up dust or to stick to each other. A more dangerous consequence is its sudden discharge which, for example, can lead to a dust explosion. This paper suggests the remedies such as the addition of an antistatic agent to the base polymer. This...

The molecular structure of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (4MBA) was optimized by the DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the compound are carried out using the experimental FTIR and FT-Raman spectra. The stability of the molecule arising from hyper-conjugative interaction and charge delocalization has been studied...

The emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria across the globe led the search for new and novel potential compounds from plant sources. In the present study phytochemical constituents from different extracts (Aqueous, methanol and petroleum ether) of Madhuca longifolia leaves were explored. The Preliminary qualitative analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, tannins,...

Based on quantum chemical calculations, we studied Anthracene ‐based dye for the Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) application. The D-π-A moieties of the designed organic dye molecule were optimized and absorption properties have been investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time - Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches. Further, the semiconductor TiO2 is used as a model to evaluate the...

The current study deals with the extraction of dye from Ricinus communis leaves using microwave assisted extraction technique and the colour yield was compared with conventional method. Factors affecting dye extraction such as extraction time, temperature, dye source concentration, pH and irradiation power was studied. The selected cotton fabric was dyed with the natural dye extracted by both...

In this present study, the molecular structure and spectroscopic properties of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine (44C4HP, C11H14ClNO) were characterized by FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV–vis spectroscopy. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra in solid state were observed in the region 4000–400 cm1 and 4000–100 cm1, respectively. The spectroscopic properties were also investigated by the density...

English is a charismatic language that it attracts people across the universe, cutting the barriers of Nationality, Religion, Color, Creed, Caste and Community. There is undoubtedly a universal craze for the language among all non-native English...

Automotive, aircraft and train companies need to replace steel and cast iron in mechanical components with lighter high strength alloys like Al metal matrix composites (MMC).Experiments were carried out on Radial Drilling Machine. A plan of experiments, based on the techniques of Taguchi was performed. In this study drilling of Aluminium Silicon Carbide (Al/SiC) was investigated. The objective of...
