Conversion of Organic Municipal Wastes into Biochars and their Effect on Fertility Parameters of Normal and Sabkha Soils of Qatar by Ahmedna, Mohamed

“…To each pot, sufficient amount of 0.25-mm sieved biochar was mixed with soil to yield carbon to soil ratios of 0, 1, and 2% (wt/wt). Box-Behnken experimental design was used instead of the full factorial to decrease the number of treatments to a manageable level (126 treatments) with three replications at the center. …”

Improved flexible, controlled dielectric constant material from recycled LDPE polymer composites by Noorunnisa Khanam, P.

“…In this study, recycled low density polyethylene (RLDPE) is developed with the addition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to have new polymer composites. The following wt% were used of the filler (1, 4 and 6 wt%). Tensile properties, Hardness, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) thermo gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric properties were studied for these composites. 4 wt% Al2O3/RLDPE composites showed the optimum values of 15.52, 180.8 and 59.72 MPa for the tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness were reported. …”

Role of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes on polyethylene, and effect of accelerated weathering on photo oxidation and mechanical properties by Zagho M.M.

“…Addition of CNTs had negligible effect on the tensile strength but it kept the same approximate value of the original before the accelerated weathering (e.g., 23.2 MPa for 1 wt% of CNTs). CNTs also protected the samples even with the presence of TONPs because of the absorbance and antioxidants effects. …”
