created by combining fly ash‚ which contains alumino-silicate source‚ with a strong alkaline solution. Geopolymer concrete has significant advantages over standard concretes such as resistance to corrosion and fire‚ high compressive and tensile strengths and also less shrinkage. The development of geopolymer concrete is an important step towards the production of environmental friendly concretes. The purpose is apparently to reduce the carbon dioxide emission resulting from the production of Ordinary

However‚ with a greater emphasis on increasing the efficiency of the engine via weight reduction‚ manufacturers have began to look for alternative alloys that are lighter than cast iron and aluminum alloys‚ while retaining the necessary strength to withstand the forces of an engine. As of late‚ new manufacturing processes have been developed that have engendered two new alloys suitable for use in an engine block‚ magnesium alloy AMC-SC1 and compacted graphite cast iron (CGI).

Definition: Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. he combination of strength and endurance results in muscular endurance - the ability to perform many repetitions against a given resistance for a prolonged period of time (1). It is a crucial element of fitness for athletes such as distance runners‚ swimmers‚ cyclists and rowers. It’s also important for success in many team sports like

2024-T4 aluminum and cast iron. 2024-T4 aluminum is concluded to be most ductile (25.7 % reduction in area) and cast iron the most brittle (123 MPa). Effects of cold rolling in 1045 steel are apparent‚ as it has the highest strength among the materials tested (402 MPa yield strength). Impact test measured the impact energy of 1045 steel‚ 2024 aluminum‚ polypropylene (PP)‚ and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). This test also observed the effect of temperature on material ductility.

The effect of unmodified and titanate treated nano-CaCO3 on the microstructure as well as on the mechanical‚ barrier‚ optical properties of PVC films‚ prepared by solution casting method were studied. The tensile strength and barrier properties of nano-CaCO3/PVC increase with increasing loading of CaCO3 nanoparticles due to increased interfacial contact area and enhanced interfacial adhesion between CaCO3 nanoparticles and PVC matrix.

Class 1 Metallic bonding: Found in metals and alloys‚ 1‚ 2‚ or 3 valence electrons that are not bound to any particular atom in the solid. They drift throughout the entire metal. This results in a sea of electrons. These free electrons result in good electrical and heat conductivity. Coordination number is 8 or 12 (number of nearest neighbors). Ionic Bonding Found in compounds that are composed of both metallic and nonmetallic elements. Metallic element gives up valence electrons to the
