Silicon carbide reinforced copper matrix (Cu-SiCp) composites fabricated via the conventional powder metallurgy methods have inferior thermophysical properties due to the weak bonding between the copper matrix and the SiCp ...

The titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a semiconductor oxide photocatalys, which is chemically and biologically inert but exhibits excellent photolytic activity in the ultraviolet (UV) region. Progress in photocatalytic water ...

A composite comprising cyclopentyl trisilanol siisesquioxanes (CpSSQ(OH)3) and 50% epoxidized natural rubber (ENR-50) was prepared at reflux temperature employed hydrochloric acid (HCl) as catalyst. HCl was found to be an ...

The toxicity in the Sn-Pb solder has promoted the development of Pb-free solder in the electronics industries. Among the Pb-solders, the Sn-3.5Ag-1.0Cu solder is considered a potential replacement and being studied by many ...

The properties of Sn-0.7Cu solder bulk prepared via the powder metallurgy (PM) method were investigated and compared with solder bulk fabricated through casting. Distinct microstructures were observed in both PM and casting ...

The aim of this study was to optimize the mixing process of a composite solder fabricated via powder metallurgy route, before details study were conducted in the next stage. Powder of Sn, Cu and Si₃N₄ were carefully weighted, ...

Curing characteristics and swelling behavior of natural rubber/styrene butadiene rubber/recycled nitrile glove (NR/SBR/rNBRg) blends were investigated. Eleven composition ratio; 50/50/0, 50/40/10, 50/30/20, 50/20/30, ...

Nowadays, the formation and the subsequent growth of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and the development of new lead-free solder systems is a major issue in soldering. The excessive growth formation of intermetallic ...

Researches and studies on composite solder have been done by many researchers in an effort to develop viable lead-free solders which can replace the conventional lead-based solders as lead is considered as toxic. Solder ...

The main focus of this research is to study the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate. The sources of ceramic waste are obtained from the industrial in Malaysia. Presently, in ceramics industries the ...
