In this paper, we report on synthesizing xonotlite, calcium silicate hydrate (CSH), via a hydrothermal reaction using rice husk from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The husks were burnt at 1000 °C for 3 h. Grey ash was collected, then mixed with Ca(OH)2 Ca/Si molar ratio of 1 : 1. This followed by 180 24 h and 48 to obtain xonotlite mineral. Before after adsorption, 3-mm pellets thoroughly character...

zinc-nickel electrodeposits have been widely adopted for surface treatment of automobile steel sheet for high corrosion resistance. in this work the effect of pulse parameters on the zn-ni alloy electrodeposits was investigated. the hardness, thickness, corrosion resistance and composition of deposits thus produced were investigated. the surface topography of the deposits was also observed in s...

Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...

This paper focused on a novel method of electroless plating ruthenium (Ru) on solid or porous substrates like porous stainless steel (PSS) discs or ceramic tubes. A novel complexing plating bath of Ru was developed. It is proven that Ru can be deposited directly on these substrates by the bath at a temperature of 328 K and strong alkaline environment. TGA, SEM, EDX and XRD confirmed the success...
