Journal ArticleDOI
Polymers in sensor applications
TL;DR: The role of polymers as gas sensors, pH sensors, ion-selective sensors, humidity sensors, biosensor devices, etc., are reviewed and discussed in this article, and current trends in sensor research and also challenges in future sensor research are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reclamation and recycling of waste rubber
TL;DR: The problem of waste disposal management is a serious environmental problem as mentioned in this paper and since polymeric materials do not decompose easily, disposal of waste polymers is a very serious environmental issue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of fish scale collagen of higher thermal stability
TL;DR: A major characteristic of obtained collagen was found to have denaturation temperature (T(d)) of 36.5 degrees C, which is promising as an advantage for biomedical application due to closeness in T(d) to mammalian collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of tensile strength of lignocellulosic jute fibers by alkali-steam treatment.
Prosenjit Saha,Suvendu Manna,Sougata Roy Chowdhury,Ramkrishna Sen,Debasis Roy,Basudam Adhikari +5 more
TL;DR: The results from this investigation indicate that a 30 min dipping of the fibers in 0.5% alkali solution followed by 30 min alkali-steam treatment leads to an increase in the tensile strength of up to 65%, which appears to be due to fiber separation and removal of non-cellulosic materials, which, in turn, resulted in an increased crystallinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in mechanical properties of jute fibres through mild alkali treatment as demonstrated by utilisation of the Weibull distribution model.
Aparna Roy,Sumit Chakraborty,Sarada Prasad Kundu,Ratan Kumar Basak,S. B. Majumder,Basudam Adhikari +5 more
TL;DR: The two-parameter Weibull distribution model was applied to deal with the variation in mechanical properties of the natural fibres and enhanced the tensile strength and elongation at break but decreased the hydrophilicity.
