This study investigates the use of carbon nanofillers, specifically multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs), to enhance the damage-sensing capabilities of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy (GFRP) composites. Nanocomposites were fabricated by incorporating 2.0 wt.% of MWCNTs and CNFs into the epoxy matrix, followed by mechanical and electrical testing. The results demonstrate
Mucuna flagellipes is an underutilized legume that is wildly grown especially, in Eastern part of Nigeria. The study evaluated the effects of thermal processing on the functional and rheological properties of Mucuna flagellipes flours. The Mucuna flagellipes seeds were sorted, cleaned and divided into four equal lots of 0.5kg each. They were processed into A -raw, B -boiled, C -roasted and D -auto
