Alumina-based refractories are ubiquitous in several high temperature structural applications and the use of synthetic and purer raw materials for manufacturing of refractory products is a prerequisite for clean steel production. As a part of the work under this...

As a part of an initiative under LSRB of the DRDO, nano-graphite incorporated polyurethane based nanocomposite has been developed upto 2 kg batch level for making light weight, anticorrosive and flexible shoe-outsoles for the use of military personnel working...

Tannery effluent was collected from a leather processing unit located at Bantala leather complex, Kolkata and characterized in detail. The effluent showed typical value of COD 6500 mg/L, BOD5 1000 mg/L and Cr+6 content of 70 mg/L. Batch mode bioreactor studies were...

The market potential of White-Light-Emitting Diodes (WLEDs) for efficient and environment-friendly lighting is on upswing. The use of high-power Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for even higher efficiencies plays a crucial role in applications of indicator, backlight,...

Bioactive glasses are widely used for bone repair and regenerative applications due to their ability to form hydroxyapatite bone mineral on the surface and their ability to naturally bond with bone. Commercial glasses such as 45S5, S53P4 and 13-93 belonging to...

Nanostructured mesoporous silica based hard and AR coating with hydrophobic surfaces on millimeter scale textured solar cover glasses showing better light conversion efficiency and stability have been developed. Solar panel has been fabricated using fabricated solar...

Fiber Bragg grating based vibration sensors and interrogation system for the application mentioned above has been developed. The system has been thoroughly evaluated at BHEL, Haridwar, and subsequently a set of 12 vibration sensors were deployed in the generator of...
