Predicting Reinforced Plastic Material Performance
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a traditional technique used to predict the structural performance of fiber-reinforced plastics by design engineers. This technique works on the assumption that there is a uniform distribution of fiber throughout the molded part. It is a known fact that mold filling parameters and part geometry variations greatly affect the fiber [...]

Nano-Materials: Over-Hyped or Gaining Potential?
Just like every other innovation, nanotechnology too was over-hyped earlier this decade. Due to some high profile failures, manufacturers and investors were skeptical about the future of the technology. However, a report from Lux research shows that nanotechnology has become pervasive in a wide range of industries, with $147 billion worth of Nano-enabled products produced [...]

Robust Free-Standing TiO2 Nanofibre Membrane
Existing chemical methods to remove the contaminants lead to carcinogenic byproducts and existing micro/ultra filtration membranes are susceptible to fouling and leakage of contaminants through the membrane pores.
