Improved Organically Treated Nanoclay-Polyurethane Nanocomposite
Mona A. Ahmed*, Ashraf M. El-Saeed, Hamdy M. Naguib
Recently, nanocomposites are used in a wide range of applications; however the incompatibility between all components causes some drawbacks. Treatment of filler can solve this problem through formation of improved filler-matrix interface. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of filling polyurethane matrix with (0.5, 1 and 1.5) wt.% layered double hydroxide nanoclay, as coating. Magne
Phytochemical Analysis, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Stem Extracts of Azadirachta indica
Yiketel Adege Chekol*, Molla Zewdie Eshetu
Azadirachta indica is one of the most versatile medicinal plants having a wide spectrum of biological activity due to the presence of large number of bioactive compounds. The result of phenolic content estimation in methanol and ethanol crude extract was found to be 162.87±1.25 and 126.57±0.288 mg of GAE/g of extract respectively. The antioxidant activities of methanolic stem extracts of Azadirach
Development Of Novel Commercial Production Protocol for High-Yielding Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus Species)
Adebayo Elijah Adegoke
The main difficulties in growing mushrooms in Nigeria continue to be the low bio-efficiency of the most frequently utilized substrates and the stress that substrate composting experiences. This study assesses how well palm kernel fruit stalk (PKFS) wastes work for mushroom cultivation and makes additional attempts to determine how sterilization affects substrate composting and mushroom yield.

Exploring the Efficacy of a Potent Corrosion Suppressant Derived from Trandescantia Pallida (Purpple Heart) Leaves: A Qualitative Assessment
Cornelius C. Ahanotu* Kenneth C. Madu, Cynthia A. Ugochukwu
The corrosion inhibiting effect of Tradescantia pallida leaf extract (TPLE) on low carbon steel in a sulphuric acid medium was investigated. Weight loss experiments were conducted at two temperatures, 27°C and 60°C, using six low carbon steel coupons of known dimensions, compositions, and weights over a 3-day immersion period. The results revealed that TPLE exhibited significant corrosion inhibiti
