Experimental Study on Charging Conditions of a Single Component DDT Detonator Using Nickel Hydrazine Nitrate

By Myong Nam Ri, Jin Guk Pak, Hyo Bom Song, Chol Min Kim, and Su Il Kim

Abstract: As a salt of a coordination compound of nickel, nickel hydrazine nitrate (NHN) is an energetic substance with characteristics halfway between those of primary and secondary explosives. It is less sensitive to friction and mechanical impact than other primary explosives, although it is highly sensitive to flames. NHN is not very dangerous to handle, but…

Exploring Antiviral Organic Compounds

By Khalid M. Darwish and Amal A. A. Al- Mniffy

Abstract: Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used for treating viral infections [1]. Most antivirals target specific viruses, while a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against a wide range of viruses [2]. Antiviral drugs are a class of antimicrobials, a larger group which also includes antibiotic (also termed antibacterial), antifungal and antiparasitic drugs or antiviral drugs based on monoclonal antibodies [3, 4] Most antivirals are considered relatively harmless to the host, and therefore…

Intelligent Rocket and Missile Propellants: A Study

By Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat

Abstract: The pursuit of enhanced performance, increased safety, and unparalleled mission adaptability in aerospace and defence systems necessitate a paradigm shift in propulsive technologies. Traditional rocket and missile propellants, while highly effective, possess intrinsic limitations related to fixed energy release profiles, inherent handling risks, and susceptibility to environmental factors. This paper introduces the concept of Intelligent…

Review on the Synthesis, Reactions, Biological Importance and Application of Phthalic Anhydride

By Khalid M. Darwish and Nisreen M. Atiya

Abstract: Phthalic anhydride (also known as IUPAC name: benzofurandione), abbreviated PA, represents a cyclic organic substance derived through the oxidative transformation of xylene or naphthalene compounds. The coexistence of the benzene and furan-1, 3-dione ring structures significantly contributes to the formation of numerous heterocycles and certain polycyclic molecules. In organic chemistry, the aromatic system within para-amino…

Study of Recyclable Thermoset Polymers Using Dynamic Covalent Bonds

By Anita Gaur, Kundan Singh, and Nishi Tyagi

Abstract: Thermoset polymers are widely used in advanced engineering applications due to their excellent mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. However, their permanent three-dimensional cross-linked networks make them traditionally non-recyclable, contributing significantly to polymer waste and environmental challenges. In recent years, dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) has emerged as a transformative approach for designing recyclable thermoset…

Unraveling the Health Risks of Microplastics in School Children Water Bottles: A Systematic Review

By Verla Evelyn Ngozi, Njoku Thony R.F, Martin C. Ekeh, Verla Andrew Wirnkor, Uche Cosmas Chinedu, Morah Arthur C., Uyo Chijioke Ndukwe, Ugwulor Louis Ukachukwu, Anyanwu Jonathan, and Njoku-Obi Treasure Njideka

Abstract: Microplastics (MPs), pervasive environmental pollutants, pose escalating threats to human health, with children emerging as a critically vulnerable population. This systematic review, guided by PRISMA protocols, synthesizes evidence from 2015–2025 on MPs exposure risks from reusable plastic water bottles among school-aged children (4–15 years). Findings reveal significant MPs leaching into drinking water, influenced by bottle…
