Boron (B), a critical micronutrient, plays a vital role in various biological and industrial processes. This study provides a comprehensive review of the main boron minerals, including borax (sodium borate), kernite, colemanite, and ulexite, with a focus on their geological distribution, particularly in the Mojave Desert. These minerals serve as significant sources of boron, with

n the present research work, we have synthesized the ferroelectric ceramic Ba0.7 Sr0.3TiO3 (BST3)/PVDF (Polyvinylidene difluoride). Polymer nanocomposites for energy storage applications, designed to synergistically combine the high dielectric permittivity of hydroxylated barium strontium titanate (hy-BST3) with the mechanical flexibility and electroactive properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). Hydroxylated Barium Strontium Titanate (hy-BST3) has been synthesized

The rapid advancement of construction technologies has necessitated the development of lightweight, thermally efficient, and sustainable building materials. Hollow bricks, due to their inherent voids, offer substantial reductions in dead load and enhanced insulation properties. However, their mechanical performance often falls short when compared to conventional solid bricks. To address this limitation, this study explores

This study evaluates the mechanical properties of kerb stone incorporating polypropylene (PP) material, to enhance durability and performance. In the wake of increasing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable construction practices, the reuse of plastic waste, particularly polypropylene, has emerged as a promising solution. Polypropylene, known forits durability,resistance to chemical attacks, and low water

Reinforced Earth (RE) walls are widely used in infrastructure due to their structural efficiency and ease of construction. However, they typically require high-quality granular backfill, which may not be readily available or cost-effective in many regions. This study investigates the potential of utilizing locally available sandy clay soil stabilized with industrial and plastic waste materials
