attention from researcher to be incorporated with different type of sludge material such as waste water sludge, water treatment sludge, marble sludge, effluent treatment plants (textile industry) sludge and arsenic contaminated sludge. 2.1 Textile sludge Jahagirdar et al (2013) discussed the reuse of textile mill sludge in burnt clay bricks. Textile mill sludge was mixed together with different proportion (5% to 35%) as the raw material in this study. The brick was fired at 600 to 800ºC and for 8, 16 and

Polymer composites are the blend of polymers and filler materials. Disadvantages of polymers such as low mechanical and electronic properties can be improved through reinforcing with much stronger and highly conducting filler materials. Thus, fabricating polymer composites is of mutual benefit to both polymers and fillers. Furthermore, advanced-desired applications can be tailor-made. Also, compared to polymer micro/nanocomposites, polymer nanocomposites show much more improved properties such as

According to the article Bottled Water vs. Tap Water by Jackie Dana, “It’s estimated that people spend $100 billion a year on bottled water, each American drinks 21 gallons per year, almost 2 gallons per month!” We see them everywhere but it is where we see them that is damaging to the environment, for instance, our streets, oceans, and not properly thrown out. These plastic bottles have become unneeded waste starting a global problem. There are better alternatives for carrying our everyday water

Title of case: Boeing 787 Dreamliner Critical Facts: Boeing is the world’s largest manufacturer of military and commercial aircraft, which was founded in 1916 by William Boeing and Navy Engineer Conrad Westervelt in the name of Pacific Aero Products Company in Seattle, which after active participation in World war-I was renamed to Boeing Airplane Company (Frederick, 2014). Boeing produced several hundreds of B-17 Flying fortress during World War II which became the U.S Bomber. In 1950’s Boeing

The lighter the weight, the faster the player can swing. Also, the player is less tired when using it. Second, it is the strength. The tennis racket must be able to withstand the load from the ball, and the force applied by players. Lastly, the material should be flexible, ductile, and heat resistance. Carbon-fiber-reinforced-epoxy is recently used in the frame. It is suitable for this application since it is very lightweight, high tensile strength, ductile, high heat resistance, and high stiffness

a naturally substance that happens, in this process an inorganic material creates a solid crystal like material that has a specific chemical composition. All the matters that make up a mineral are natural and made up from the earth and do not have living matter in them. The structure makes it three dimensional, which means that it has a particular shape that repeats itself. Now compared to a rock, which is also an inorganic material, however it has not certain atomic structure compared to minerals

delay but one of main reason was that the supply chain of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was not properly integrated and coordinated. The virtual model of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was not up to the mark and it actually failed due to the use of composite materials, this was also the reason that the project was delayed. This was the first time that Boeing had outsourced both the manufacturing and design of the 787 to other companies where as for the other planes Boeing had only outsourced the manufacturing

When plastics were first discovered they were called the material of 1,000 uses. This first, very primitive plastic was called Bakelite, discovered in 1907 (Knight 5). Although plastic today can be chemically analyzed very well, when first discovered there was very little information known about the benefits and downfalls of this material. Plastics have many unique characteristics that make them extremely desirable as an applicable material. They are better known in the world of chemistry as polymers

have absorbed some of the load, the dials and other measuring tools were difficult to get a very accurate reading from and how the experiment was set up on our behalf. c) Single crystal specimens of a material will have a lower elastic modulus than a polycrystalline material of the same material. This is due to the fast that there are no grain boundaries to resist the motion of dislocations. This is also aided by the fact that as the

fabricated into complex shapes. Major advantages of composite materials are that they can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the structure, determined by reinforcement and matrix in proper way and also these composites have been used in vehicle industries about more than 50%, this is the main reason made to meet the Euro standards and research work as been conducting
