Waste glass powder was achieved by milling the recyclable waste soda glass bottles to be used as a source of silica. Elemental analysis of the waste glass was carried out by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. It was determined that Si (57.3 wt. %), Ca (20.9 wt. %), Na (13.9 wt. %), Mg (2.64 wt. %), and Al (1.64 wt. %) were the major constituents of the waste glass. Three different sphere compositions were designed containing 1:1, 3:2, and 7:3 zeolite:waste glass ratio. When the zeolite:waste glass ratio was 1:1 oval-shaped green spheres were achieved. For the compositions containing 3:2, and 7:3 zeolite:waste glass ratio spherical green samples were achieved. Prepared spheres were sintered at 300°, 400°, and 500°C for 1 h. It was observed that the samples could not maintain their spherical form when the sintering temperature was lower than 500°C. Scanning electron microscopy investigation of the spheres sintered at 500°C revealed that highly porous zeolite spheres, containing pores from ~20 µm to nanometre sizes, were achieved. Image J software was used to determine effect of composition on the size and size distribution of the sintered spheres.","PeriodicalId":18247,"journal":{"name":"Material Science Research India","volume":"57 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is common knowledge that traditional concrete constructed using compressive strength does not meet many functional requirements, including impermeability and frost resistance. By emitting a significant amount of CO2, the manufacture of Portland cement, a key component of concrete, has had disastrous effects on our ecosystem. When one tonne of cement materials is produced, one tonne of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are emitted. Additional cementitious materials must be used to efficiently substitute cement without compromising the required qualities of concrete. The samples were tested for durability properties like water and chloride permeability and mechanical properties for lengths of 7, 28, and 56 days. Mix M7 exhibits outstanding compressive strength progression, showcasing impressive results of 30.72 N/mm² at 14 days, followed by significant enhancement to 43.18 N/mm² at 28 days, and a robust 48.91 N/mm² at 56 days, making it a highly durable and high-performance concrete mix. In the study comparing the conventional mix and study mix (M1 to M8), the M7 mix exhibited a 28-day split tensile strength of 4.28 N/mm² and flexural strength of 9.657 N/mm². A significant amount of fly ash produced by the coal-based power station is recovered via huge ponds and dykes. It was revealed that 30% GGBS and 20% pond ash replacement of cement yielded the best results. According to research, there are industrial wastes that can replace up to 40% and 20% of the cement and fine aggregate in concrete by GGBS and Pond Ash, respectively.","PeriodicalId":18247,"journal":{"name":"Material Science Research India","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140506889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, granite powder and ceramic tile powder were employed as substitutes for fine aggregate, each at a 10% replacement rate alongside the ceramic coarse tiles. As a result of continuous innovations and advancements in the construction industry, there has been a significant rise in the utilization of natural aggregates. The generation of solid waste from construction demolitions has also witnessed a substantial increase. Research indicates that approximately from 20% to 30% of materials produced in manufacturing plants end up as waste. To address the constraints of natural aggregate resources and mitigate construction waste, there is a pressing need to repurpose this waste material. Concrete of M25 grade was designed and subjected to testing. Mix designs for different combinations were formulated by altering the percentages of crushed tiles and granite powder in both coarse and fine aggregates. Experiments were conducted on several concrete mixes using variable volumes of discarded shattered tiles and granite powder during seven, fourteen, and 28 days of curing. These examinations included “workability assessments, compressive strength tests, split tensile strength tests, and flexural strength tests”. The results show that larger replacement percentages of granite powder and crumbled tiles boost workability. Additionally, the strength of the concrete exhibited an improvement, particularly with a 30% replacement of ceramic coarse tile aggregate. Explore the use of advanced ceramic composites with improved mechanical properties and durability for enhanced performance in concrete. Investigate the potential use of recycled ceramics or explore novel production methods that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with sustainable construction practices.

Gravimetric and microstructural characterizations of coatings after direct exposure to the gas flame were conducted. The results show that Ni-SiC coating improves the protection against oxidation of the underlying steel XC100 by decreasing the rate of weight gain by about 20 times against 13 times for Ni due to the decomposition of SiC particles in the boundaries of the coaxial grains network. Besides, the preferential oxidation of silicon particles to SiO2 into the nickel matrix revealed by EDS-X analysis confers stability to Ni-Si coating although its catching of mass is slightly higher than that of Ni-SiC. The charge transfer resistance Rct and the oxide electrical resistance Roxide extracted from Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy agreed with gravimetric and microstructural observations.","PeriodicalId":18247,"journal":{"name":"Material Science Research India","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135363467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prepared nanocomposites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The SEM images viewed a uniform homogeneous surface of the nanocomposite while FTIR and XRD spectral signatures substantiated its chemical functionalities and structural traits respectively. Mechanical properties such as tensile stress & strain, elongation at break, hardness, Young's modulus, and strain of the nanocomposite, were also investigated. Here the electrical conductivity was measured using the two-probe method. The nanocomposite started conducting at 2% rGO in rubber and increased conducting with increasing rGO. The hardness of the composites continuously increased with increasing rGO in rubber. Despite the tensile strength and elongation at break, Young's modulus also increased with increasing the rGO percentage up to 1.5 % and was optimized at the particular ratio. The highest strength of 15.91MPa was obtained at 1.5% of rGO. A detailed property investigation of rGO/NR nanocomposite has not been reported previously for the best of our knowledge.
