Expanded Clay Aggregates for water purification
(African University of Science and Technology, 2021-02-10)
Most poor and vulnerable people such as the peri-urban, people living in poverty and some internally displaced people (IDPs) are prone to water borne diseases because they drink polluted water. In order to improve water ...
Activated Carbon and Graphene Oxide for Supercapacitors and Batteries Application
(2021-01-20)
Carbon-based materials are widely used for energy storage systems because of their unique properties, low cost, and availability. These include Graphite, graphene, activated carbon, graphene oxide, carbon nanotube, carbon ...
Engineering and Geological Investigations of Slope Stability and Rock Strength Characterization using Nanoindentation
(2021-06-15)
Slope stability is of significant importance for sustainable development in mining, civil engineering, and urban planning as slope failures endanger public safety and continue to
result in costly repair work. This study ...
