    Abstract: MgB2 has been found to be superconductor with a critical temperature of 39K by Akimitsu and coworkers in 2000. Then, extensive search has been made for searching similar superconductor among related intermetallic compounds. Lithium borocarbide (LiBC) is an analogue with similar structure to MgB2. In the structure of LiBC (P63/mmc), hexagonal sheets... Show More

    Abstract: The study examined the potential use of starch obtained from cassava and yam sources for the production of stable industrial adhesives that can be utilized in the production of composites. Cassava and yam tubers used in the study were obtained from Mowe and Ile-Ife (both in southwestern Nigeria) and washed free of sand and impurities before sun-dry... Show More

    Abstract: The aim of this work is to valorize local materials and to replace synthetic resins in the wood industry with biodegradable resins made from renewable resources such as the dry stems of herbaceous plants. Klason extracted the gramineae stem’s lignins of Andropogon gayanus and Sorghum bicolor and then Soda methods then characterized using attenuated... Show More
