The nano-materials find applications in various fields of- Medicine Nanomedicine and diagnostics- Nanogold particles selectively accumulate in tumours, providing precise imaging and targeted laser destruction of a tumour harming healthy…

Constructionally, pressure cable is similar to that of an ordinary solid type’s cable except that it has a triangular shape. Triangular formation helps to reduce the weight of the cable…

Standard solution: The standard solution is the solution whose concentration is known and does not change on standing A known weight of the solute/ substance dissolved in a known volume…

Liquid crystal polymers (LSP) are a polymer that, under suitable conditions of temperature, pressure and concentration, shows a liquid – crystalline mesosphere (one –or two-dimensional, long-range ordered orientation) either in…

Composite materials have industrial applications- Hybrid composites are used in lightweight transport structural components like boat hulls, aeroplanes etc and lightweight orthopaedic components. Sandwich panels are commonly used in aircraft…

Thermotropic LSP shows different phases depending on the temperature these are classified as- Nematic: It is the most common LC phase; nematic is a geek word meaning thread. In nematic…

Bio-degradable polymers are polymers prone to degradation by the catalytic activity of enzymes, accompanied by lowering of their molar mass. Biodegradable poly(alkylene dicarboxylate)s derived from biobased monomers have an additional…

Conducting polymers are classified : Intrinsically conducting g polymers It is a polymer whose structural frame has delocalized electron-pair (conjugated π –bonds) or residual charges. In, an electric field the…

Properties of conducting polymers They are light in weight. They have the good mechanical strength. They are easy to process. They have a high charge to mass ratio. The polymers…

The factions of lubricants are as follows- It reduces frictional; resistance between metallic surfaces. It reduces maintenance and running cost of machines. It reduces local heating of sliding metal shut…
