... sand, a form of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) and is commonly known as quartz sand, was collected from the UAE desert at latitudes 24 • 00 and 26 • 40 N and longitudes 55 • 00 and 56 • 00 E. The relative humidity is around 30%. A chemical analysis was used to determine the mineral content composition, as shown in Table 1 [26]. Pure silica sand that was gathered was first dried in the oven at 100 • C for 24 h. ...Similar publications
Fungal growth on construction materials in tropical climates can degrade aesthetics and manifestations on modern and historical sick buildings, affecting the health of their inhabitants. This study synthesized ZnO nanoparticles with enhanced antifungal properties using a precipitation method. Different concentrations (25%, 50%, and 100%) of Eichhor...

... Its high rigid carbon content makes it suitable in energy storage for supercapacitors and battery devices [37][38][39], or to create strain sensors with a stable conductive network [40]. Bran has been recently employed as reinforcement or insulating filler in sustainable lightweight building material [41], and as cementitious binder to reduce cracking and improve concrete durability [42]. Moreover, it has been applied in textile production, being incorporated into fabrics to provide additional texture or insulation properties. ...
