I take a peek, and there it is, Sitting calmly, under the soft January sun, It looks like nothing could ruffle its feathers, Or take away its peace. It stands alone, Yet part of a flock, Away for some "me-time" I guess, It has travelled miles, And will return home soon, When the sun gets… Continue reading A feathered guest at school
I had a tiny wooden box that I never opened. It was almost weightless and I had the keys to it but its weightlessness never tempted me to see inside and truly speaking, I really did not have the time to waste on something empty. It was just a wooden box. On several occasions, I… Continue reading A small box of hope
Superabsorbent polymers are three dimensional crosslinked polymers which absorb large amount of water. These polymers are insoluble in water. These ultrahigh absorbing materials imbibe fluid as high as 1000-100,000%. The swelling is due to the crosslinked network formed within the polymer. Crosslinking is a process in which polymer bond is formed which links one polymeric… Continue reading Superabsorbent Polymers
Corrosion is one of the most underestimated and often misunderstood forces humans deal with on a daily basis. The total annual corrosion costs in the U.S. rose above $1 trillion in the middle of 2013, illustrating the broad and expensive challenge that corrosion presents to equipment and materials and is now estimated at $1.1 trillion… Continue reading Corrosion Inhibitors
In the contemporary world, like India, Scarcity of clean drinking water has become a matter of grave concern, as more than one billion people lack access to it globally. Per day, millions of tons of wastewater from industries like Heavy metals, Dyes, Plastics, Hydrocarbons, Pharmaceutical wastes are being released into the water bodies, making the… Continue reading Sonochemical Treatment for Industrial Wastewater Effluent: A Novel Green Approach
Contamination of water by toxic heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, herbicides and other xenobiotic through the discharge of industrial wastewater is a worldwide environmental problem. This toxic water adversely affects plant life, and thus an entire ecosystem can be destroyed. Usage of reverse osmosis system, precipitation followed by coagulation and membrane filtration are limited due to… Continue reading Used Tea Bag In Your Cup: Solution to Wastewater Remediation
Unique large biomolecules act as a bridge between traditional and synthetic macromolecules which carry out many vital roles in human life. Nature itself has chosen metal–ion macrocyclic ligand systems for use in several important biological systems that include cobalamines, corrins, and porphyrins.Macrocycles are cyclic compounds comprising twelve atoms or more, are now recognized as molecules… Continue reading Macro cycles: Clinical Bio mimics
The common theme in Sand’s research is synthesis of polymers. Most recently, this knowledge is used of the free radical polymerization to develop new superabsorbent polymers. This has led to the development of the new field of polymerization process by inverse suspension polymerization. These polymeric supports are of renewable origin, environmental friendly and offer highly… Continue reading Inverse Suspension Polymerization- a new tool for Polymer Synthesis
Generally, people think that science has solutions to most of our queries about the universe. However, it’s not always possible. These questions can be visualized from mathematical view also. What is mathematical Modeling Here comes ‘Mathematical Modelling’. Mathematical Modeling is the practice of making sense of the world through an eye of mathematics. In other… Continue reading Mathematical Modeling
The word approximation means near to exact but not the actual value. This is more frequently used term in our daily life since the existence of human being.  In mathematical calculations, using 1.414 in place of 2  and 3.14 in place of Ï€  are the examples of approximation of an irrational or a transcendental number… Continue reading What is Approximation in mathematics
