Then, the compressive strength, density, and water absorption\u0000were measured at ages (7, 14, and 28) days.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The results showed that the best compressive strength, density, and lowest water absorption\u0000were obtained by mixing 0.4% MgO with the weight of cement. SEM and EDX were used to characterize\u0000the concrete samples. SEM examination of the concrete samples with 0.4% MgO by weight\u0000of cement showed a dense microstructure with no pores and the formation of CSH. Microcapsules\u0000containing cement with 0.4% Nano MgO were prepared using a fluidized bed coating process\u0000(Pelletization method). The microcapsules were then added to concrete with (7, 10, and 13) % of\u0000the cement's weight. Compressive strength, water absorption, density, flexural strength, and splitting\u0000tensile strength tests were performed to study concrete properties. According to the results, MgO\u0000microcapsules were used as a useful material for the self-healing cracking process.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Fabrication of Microcapsules\u00001- Polystyrene was dissolved with toluene at a ratio of 1:10 using a magnetic stirrer for 30 minutes, 70 C°, at a speed of 80 rpm.\u00002- 100 gm of cement was mixed with 0.4 gm of Nano MgO using a hand mixer for 10 minutes. \u00003- To perform the pelletizing process (fluidized bed coating), the polyurethane material consisting of polystyrene with toluene was placed in the spray gun that was fixed in the device shown in Figure 1, and it was pumped at a pressure of 7-8 bar, and the air jet installed at the bottom of the device was operated to raise the mixture consisting of cement and nanomaterials that was pumped out.

The mixture was then placed in a mixing bowl, and cement has been added gradually with continuous mixing using a homemade electrical mixer, sand was added to the mixture gradually, taking a mixing period of 4 minutes. Finally, microcapsules have been added gradually with continuous mixing for 2 minutes. The concrete mixture has been poured into three different types of molds into 9 samples for each test: cubic molds (50*50*50) mm3 for compressive strength test, cylindrical molds (150 mm length and 50mm diameter) for splitting tensile strength tests, and Prismatic molds (40*40*","PeriodicalId":508862,"journal":{"name":"Current Nanomaterials","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141658449","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}

In this paper, various degree based topological descriptors along with its entropy measures are evaluated for adjacently and non-adjacently configured pentagonal structure of carbon nanocones.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Carbon nanoparticles are gaining much importance in the contemporary world. Among which carbon nanocones have wide range of acceptance in the field of nanotechnology due to its effective properties and applications. Nanocones, also known as nanohorns are carbon networks which are planar in structure and has majority of hexagonal faces along with some nonhexagonal faces, which are most commonly pentagons. Nanocones which include pentagons in their structure can be referred to as adjacently or non- adjacently configured pentagonal structure of nanocones. Various topological descriptors for few nanocone classes were derived by researchers earlier, but not for the class of nanocones in this paper. Through this work, we try to vanish the research gap in this field.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000: The degree based descriptors and corresponding graph entropies for the adjacently and non-adjacently configured pentagonal structure of nanocones were determined, which further can be applied in quantitative structure – activity – property relationship studies.
