Effects of Bending and Stretching on Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Trihalide Perovskite Solar Cells
(2014-12-15)
In the recent decade, hybrid organic- inorganic trihalide perovskite solar cells have attracted significant interest from the scientific community due to their unique optoelectrical properties, ease and low cost of ...
The Role of Potassium Sorbate in Multi-Layer Chitosan-Based on Aspergillus Niger
(2014-12-12)
This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...
Controlled Release of Fungicidal Antimicrobials on Packaged Foods
(2014-12-15)
This paper presents the effect of polymer concentration on the release of fungicidal antimicrobial (AM) agent to prolonging the shelf life of packaged food. This project aimed to produce and test AM films with varying ...
Oxidation of TBC Coated Nickel Based Superalloys and Gamma Titanium Aluminides for Land-Based Engines
(2014-12-12)
Our ability to power modern airplanes and land based engines depends largely on the thrust generated most importantly by aero engines. Over the past 30 years material cost has become an important factor, especially in ...
Improving the Wear Resistance of Barite Mining Tools
(2014-12-15)
Wearing of mining tools leads to high replacement costs, machine downtime and loss of business opportunities. This work was however, aimed at improving the wear resistance of AISI 1065 and 1070 proeutectoid steels used for ...
Fracture Mechanics Approach for the Maintenance of Offshore Oil and Gas Pipeline
(2014-12-15)
Failure of offshore oil and gas pipelines occurs under certain conditions due to some applied mechanical forces. These conditions constitute a potential
threat to the integrity of in-service life span of the pipelines ...
Prodigiosin Encapsulated Poly Lactide-Co-Glycolide (PLGA)- Coated Stent for Coronary Cardiovascular Interventions
(2014-12-15)
This research focuses on the design of a robust but flexible prodigiosin eluting stent coating for possible coronary cardiovascular implant. When coated with the drug embedded polymer matrix, the stent would be expected ...
Corrosion Behavior of Epoxy (SIGMALINE) Coated X65 Steel in some Selected Corrosive Media
(2014-12-15)
Like any industry, the economic success of the oil and gas industry can be no swifter than its success in corrosion control/prevention. Some oil and gas industries operate in hostile offshore environment that harbors ...
Cell Surface Interaction on a Multi - Scale
(2014-12-15)
The increasing rate of cancer patients worldwide, and especially Africa has led to numerous efforts to battle it. One approach to this has been localized drug delivery to reduce the quantity of drugs needed for therapeutic ...
