This study examines the age-dependent development of compressive strength in Portland pozzolan cement (PPC) concrete under both curing and non-curing conditions. Four beam specimens, each measuring 500 mm × 200 mm × 350 mm, were prepared...

Chitosan and its derivatives, known for their unique molecular structures and advantageous biological properties, have emerged as promising candidates for diverse applications, particularly in the realm of water treatment. This study investigated the...

In submitting conference proceedings to Materials Proceedings, the Volume Editors of the proceedings certify to the publisher that all papers published in this volume have been subjected to peer review, administered by the Volume Editors [...]

The International Conference on Advanced Engineering and Technology (ICAET) took place in Incheon, Incheon National University, South Korea from 17 to 19 May 2024 [...]

This study investigates the application of several machine learning models using PyCaret to forecast the monthly demand for electricity consumption; we analyze historical data of monthly consumption readings for the Cuajone Mining Unit of the company...

Plastic bottles have gained widespread popularity due to their durability, affordability, and recyclable nature. Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are used as plasticizers in PET bottle production, which has raised concerns regarding their presence in the...

Chemical wastewater treatment in laboratories poses a significant challenge due to the complex nature of the contaminants involved. Humic materials and clay have emerged as promising solutions for remediation due to their unique properties, such as h...

Hydrogen represents an environmentally friendly and renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels and diminish greenhouse gas emissions. However, conventional methods of producing hydrogen are frequently expensive, energy-intensive, or d...

Anti-soiling coatings are an essential tool for repelling or protecting surfaces from all sorts of particles, sand, and dust. It is usually used on photovoltaic (PV) cells and solar cells to generate electricity in dry regions such as Qatar and the G...

In this paper, a novel technique called a “loop fragment” (LF) is developed for structural analysis. A simple method is sufficient for establishing the loop system of framed structures using an original idea, the LF of the loop resultant...

This study explores a new approach for corrosion protection of carbon steel, focusing on the application of polymeric coatings. Anticorrosive pigments were synthesized by loading 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole into zirconium oxide particles, and then an epo...
