Abstract Polymer molecular weight plays a central role in determining the balance between electrostatic and steric stabilization in polymer-coated colloidal systems, yet its influence on nanoparticle accessibility at sof...

This study reports a simple and cost-effective strategy to integrate in situ -polymerised polyaniline (PANI) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into traditional Nepali paper (TNP) to fabricate cellulose-based elect...

This study addresses the limitations of deterministic constitutive models for polymer foams, which often fail to capture intrinsic material variability. It introduces a framework to quantify the predictive uncertainty of...

We used dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to evaluate soy flour adhesives made with and without a conventional crosslinking agent, polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE). Fixed-frequency and constant strain rate studies re...

Polyisoprene (PI), whether naturally or synthetically produced, is used in rubber compounds for many applications, such as tires, belts, and shoes. The effect of Nano ternary silica (NTS) addition on the thermal and mech...

In this study, we present an effective chemo-enzymatic method for synthesizing di- and tetra-carboxyl–functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) using Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB). PEG-diacid was synthesized th...

Abstract Modern agriculture requires rapid, affordable tools to monitor crops and soils directly in the field. Cellulose, the structural polymer of plants, is emerging as a versatile foundation for lightweight, biodegrad...

With the expanding use of woven composites in critical load-bearing applications under harsh environmental conditions, it is essential to evaluate how hygrothermal exposure affects their performance. This study aims to s...
