Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSemen Quality and Artificial Insemination Efficacy Using Sericin-Silica-Phosphate-CuO Hydrogel in Thin-tailed SheepEnike Dwi Kusumawati, I Wayan Karyasa, Duran Corebima Aloysius et al.Artificial Insemination (AI) in livestock is increasingly demanded because it greatly affects the productivity and quality of livestock. AI should be supported by advanced material chemistry, especially organic-inorganic hybrid biomaterials. We aimed to produce a prototype of renewable advanced biomaterial technology in the form of Sericin-Silica-Phosphate (SER-SI-PO) hydrogel reinforced with Copper Nanoparticles (CuNPs) and its application in AI. The testing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2025 · 3,851 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Strength Development in Stabilized Soil with CBR Plus and Silica SandSeyedesmaeil Mousavi, Aliakbar KaramvandThis paper investigates the potential use of a nano polymer stabilizer, namely CBR PLUS for stabilization of soft clay and formulation of an optimal mix design of stabilized soil with CBR PLUS and silica sand. The highway settlements induced by the soft clay are problematic due to serious damages in the form of cracks and deformation. With respect to this, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Nano Silica on the Compressive Strength of Harden Cement Paste at Different Stages of HydrationJustin Montgomery, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer A. Hamoush, Miguel PicornellThis study investigated the compressive strength of hardened cement paste and the formation of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) with the addition of nano silica (SiO2). Compressive strength testing was performed using MTS and Forney testing machines to determine stress-strain curves and compressive strength of the materials. The hydration process and formation of C-S-H and Calcium Hydroxide (CH) was examined using … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Use of Nano Silica for Improving Mechanical Properties of Hardened Cement PasteIntisar Kuli, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Elham H. Fini, Sameer A. HamoushThe influence of adding Nano particles of silicon dioxide (SiO2) on cement pastes was studied for both water and vacuum curing methods. Specimens made up of different percentage of Nano Silica were tested at different ages ranging from 3-56 days. The effect of (5-20 nm) Nano-Silica on the strength development of Nano-cement was determined using Material Tests System (MTS). The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2016 · 9,084 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Role of Fly Ash and Silica Fume in the Cement Hydration ProcessLucas Suarez, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel Picornell, Sameer A. HamoushThis research work investigates the effect of fly ash and silica fume on cement paste hydration. Percentages of each additive were selected to replace the cement by volume to be studied at five different ages using water curing and vacuum curing. These percentages were compared alongside a controlled cement paste without additives. Testing was carried out on 350 samples. Analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,640 accessesView PDFCite
