Eco-Friendly Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminum Alloys with Acacia nilotica in Acidic Media
Abstract: Gravimetric analysis was used to examine the corrosion inhibitory effects of Acacia nilotica extract in 0.5 N H2SO4 on aluminum alloy at different concentrations and at 303 K. At a corrosion inhibitor concentration 0.45% at 303 K, the inhibition efficiency is found to be remarkably high (52.25%). Results show that the extract's capacity to inhibit was caused by its adsorption onto the metal surface via the Langmuir adsorption process. For …

Investigations into the Features and Attributes of Low-Density Polyethylene/Thermoplastic Sago Starch Composites
Abstract: Low-density polyethylene, the material used to make most plastic shopping bags, has a considerable negative impact on the environment. It is enough intriguing for a substance to decay, develop for whatever reason (hydrolysis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), and be exposed to the elements. Sodium trimetaphosphate was used in this experiment to treat sago starch. Using additives (glycerol/urea, 1% benzophenone, and epolene wax) in the same amount of starch, sago starch was …

Influence of Compatibilizers on the Morphology, Mechanical, Thermal andRheological Properties of Polypropylene/Organomuscovite Nanocomposites
Abstract: In this study, the effects of two different compatibilizer types-maleated polypropylene and hexamethylenediamine modified maleated polypropylene-on the characteristics of a polypropylene/maleated polypropylene/organo-muscovite clay nanocomposite were investigated. By combining polypropylene with three different levels of organo-muscovite clay content, two distinct compatibilizers were used to make the nanocomposites, each with a fixed amount of 10 weight percent. The compatibilizer's effects on the morphological, mechanical, thermal, and rheological characteristics of nanocomposites were then …
