    Abstract: This paper reports the dielectric properties of banana fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. In this research synthetic polymer, polypropylene was used matrix and natural fiber, banana fiber was used as the reinforcing material. Polypropylene [-CH2-CH2-CH2-]n and different fiber content (wt.%) of polypropylene-banana fibers (natural fiber) com... Show More

    Abstract: Eu-doped CuS nanoparticles stabilized by L-cysteine were synthesized by a low-temperature soft aqueous route. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the synthesized products reveal the formation of the hexagonal structure of covellite CuS. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images depict that the as-prepared nanoparticles exhibit relatively sphere lik... Show More

    Abstract: Bolus is a tissue equivalent material which is use in radiation therapy in order to eliminate skin sparing effect of higher energy photon beams that always reduce the surface dose. There are several commercially bolus material such as Superflab, Aquaplast and gels for use but literature have shown that they are expensive and are not readily availab... Show More
