Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Seventy-five papers selected for the 2006 conference present recent research on materials for construction, electrical, food, oil and gas, solar, machine, waste, and water technology. The materials processing section describes chemically deposited beryllium iodide thin films, catalytic dehydrogenation of n-butane over activated coal, rubber seed oil-based polyurethane composites, and the physical properties of Nigerian clays. Other topics include sliding mode control of magnetic levitation vehicles, waste paper as a ceiling board material, intervention analysis of road traffic accidents in Nigeria, groundnut oil extraction methods, and the force required to crack melon seed shell by static loading.
