https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=978
<p>Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising frontier in agriculture, offering unique opportunities to address pressing challenges in food production and sustainability. This abstract explores the applications of nanomaterials in agriculture, with a focus on their role in enhancing crop yield and promoting sustainable farming practices. The utilization of nanomaterials in agriculture opens up new possibilities for targeted delivery of nutrients, pesticides, and growth-promoting agents. Nanoparticles, owing to their small size and high surface area, facilitate efficient uptake and transport of essential elements within plants, optimizing nutrient utilization and mitigating nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, nanoparticle-based delivery systems enable controlled release of agrochemicals, minimizing environmental contamination and reducing the overall quantity of chemicals applied. Nanomaterials also play a crucial role in enhancing crop resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. Nanoparticle-mediated delivery of stress-responsive genes and signaling molecules bolsters plants; innate defense mechanisms, fostering resistance against pests, diseases, and adverse climatic conditions. Moreover, nanosensors integrated into farming practices enable real-time<br />monitoring of environmental parameters and crop health, facilitating precise and resource-efficient farming strategies. Beyond crop protection and nutrition, nanomaterials offer novel solutions to optimize water usage in agriculture. Nanostructured materials with enhanced water retention<br />properties can aid in combating water scarcity by improving soil moisture retention and reducing irrigation requirements, thereby conserving precious water resources.</p>Vansh Gupta

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=996
<p><em>In the field of marine engineering design, polymeric composites reinforced with natural fibers are extensively used. The results of this study demonstrate that these properties can be enhanced by adding glass fiber (GF) to recycled cellulose fiber (rCF) plastic composites. The performance of rCF and rCF/GF hybrid polypropylene (PP) composites is being studied in the current experimental effort. On the tensile behavior and impact strength of composites containing 30 wt% fiber, the effects of GF loading and maleic anhydride (MA) as a coupling agent were investigated. According to the findings, adding more GF increases the tensile strength of the rCF/PP composites. A hybrid composite with ten percent rCF and twenty percent GF yields tensile strengths and tensile moduli of 55.7 MPa and 1432.1 MPa, respectively. With increasing GF concentration, the impact strength of the rCF/PP composites gradually dropped. The dimensional stability and mechanical properties of the composite formulation were greatly enhanced by the addition of MA at a 2 wt% concentration. Improved interfacial bonding was confirmed by microstructure analysis of the broken surfaces of modified composites. By increasing the GF content and/or by adding a coupling agent, the dimensional stability and strength properties of the composites can be improved. Due to their increased stability and strength characteristics, the composites treated with GF and coupling agents have proven to be useful as building materials.</em></p>Haydar U. ZamanRuhul A. Khan

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=979
Nanomaterials are matrices, containing nano sized particles. The presence of nanoparticles in the matrix leads to a sharp change in the properties of the resulting nanomaterial for the better, including mechanical strength, impact strength, electrical or thermal conductivity. Today, nanocomposites are obtained by laser decomposition of an aerosol solution of ferrocene in toluene, which results in the formation of a nanocomposite containing amorphous carbon nanoparticles and isolated iron-based nanoparticles in a continuous mode and in one operation; by the method of dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the production of nanocomposites with an aluminum matrix; by using lowfrequency ultrasonic processing in the production of carbon nanocomposites. However, these methods do not permit to obtain advanced nanomaterials with high physical and mechanical properties, the matrix of which is filled with uniformly distributed nanoparticles. The article presents a new developed method of advanced nanomaterials with high physical and mechanical properties production, in the matrix of which, a uniform distribution of nanoparticles is carried out in microgravity by using the force of inertia and the isotropic property of microgravity.Michael Shoikhedbrod

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=997
<p><em>This research's primary objective is to apply the Bauschinger effect to develop a micro-lattice of titanium alloy implants using nonlinear finite element analysis. In orthopedics, micro-lattice cellular Ti-6Al-4V designs with controlled porosity and pore sizes that are good for tissue ingrowth and biological mechanisms are often used. In this investigation, CAD models of various unit lattice structures were generated using Intra-Lattice software, incorporating design parameters such as strut length, strut cross-section, and pore size. Intra-Lattice is a tool for showing parametric lattices made on Grasshopper, a visual algorithm editor for Rhino CAD software. This research gives grid, Star, and Tesseract structures as three different unit cells. The mechanical characteristics of these three lattice- based cellular structures are analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA). For Finite element modeling, beam elements were used to represent micro-lattice structures under various stress circumstances (i.e., tension and compressive). Finite element simulations were conducted to evaluate the functional and load-bearing efficiency of the three specified unit cells. In the final stage of this </em><em>experiment, modifications were made to the unit cell's topology aiming to enhance its stiffness and yield stress under loading. According to Finite Element Simulations, changes to the unit cell geometry can improve stiffness and yield strength. The above research results will eventually be used to make unique implants for each patient.</em></p>Amit BhumarkerAbhishek Singh
