The invention discloses a method to achieve a single-crystalline with high quality semi-polar gallium nitride (GaN) hetro-epitaxial layers grown on m-plane sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The method comprises the steps…

The invention of this research is on the preparation of Cellulose micro/nanofibrils (CMNF). It is extracted and treated from trees and plants in Malaysia such as merbau, resak, banana and pineapple. This material offers high crystallinity and ultra-…

Fabrication of combat helmet with enhanced properties was developed by incorporating nanocellulose as an additive in the composites. High mechanical strength of the cellulose nanocomposite was achieved due its crystallinity and multi-scale…

GeoCoat is a synergy between earth friendly waste material and great fire retardant requirements for a novel fire retardant coating material particularly on metal substrate. The main component used is rice husk which is a waste source, and the novel…

An innovative development of industrial new body formulation using available local mineral resources as the main body composition for making lower firing anti-thermal shock porcelain whitewares. This novel product shows better coefficient of thermal…

The leucite glass ceramics is produced using Malaysian silica sand as the SiO2 raw material. Sintering of SiO2-Al2O3-K2O glass powder at 850°C for duration of 1 hour contributed to the crystallization of leucite. The leucite glass-ceramics…

In this invention, the carbide lime (scheduled waste under EQA 1974) generated from the acetylene gas industry is being used as starting material to produce precipitated calcium carbonate (filler) to reduce the pulp usage in paper making. The…

This invention relates to paper making process which is a method of in-situ precipitation of Calcium Carbonate (PCC) from carbide lime waste within pulp during a process to achieve simultaneous carbonation and impregnation process, thereby reducing…

Superabsorbent materials derived from lignocellulosic biomass materials can hold more than 100000% of the water from their dry weight.

The present invention aims to produce cellulose carbamate (CC) via carbamate synthesis under microwave irradiation and hydrothermal conditions. The CC was reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) to fabricate homogeneous CC-GO membranes using a simple…
