Enhancement of hardness and wear strength of pure Cu and Cu-TiO2composites via a friction stir process while maintaining electrical resistivity Ibrahim A. Alnaser, Mohammed Yunus Reviews on Advanced Materials Science, 2024 The study aims to enhance the hardness and wear of copper and Cu–TiO2-based composites while maintaining high electrical conductivity through friction stir processing (FSP). It assesses the impact of TiO2 volume fractions and groove widths (GWs) on the wear, hardness, resistivity, and microstructure of FSPed Cu and FSPed Cu–TiO2 surface composite. The samples obtained from the stir zone showed an increase in microhardness of the Cu–TiO2 surface composite due to particle refinement, uniform distribution, and efficient sticking of TiO2 with Cu. Furthermore, the wear rate increased with decreasing TiO2 volume fractions in the composite. The worn surface microstructural analysis indicated a transition from harsh to gentle wear with increasing TiO2 volume fractions and GWs. The average grain size reduced significantly in reinforced stir zones compared to pure Cu, and particle size decreased further with increasing groove size. Hardness increased by 25 and 50% compared to unprocessed Cu, but only a negligible increase in electrical resistivity (2.3% Ωm) after FSP.
Personal exposure to household air pollution and lung function in rural Bangladesh: A population-based cross-sectional study Shyfuddin Ahmed, Muhammad Ashique Haider Chowdhury, Shirmin Bintay Kader, Mohammad Hasan Shahriar, Bilkis A Begum, et al. International Journal of Environmental Health Research, 2024 We assessed whether personal exposure to household air pollution [PM2.5 and black carbon (BC)] is associated with lung functions (FEV1, FVC, and their ratio) in non-smoking adults in rural Bangladesh. We measured personal exposure to PM2.5 using gravimetric analysis of PM2.5 mass and BC by reflectance measurement between April 2016 and June 2019. The average 24-hour PM2.5 and BC concentration was 141.0μgm−3 and 13.8μgm−3 for females, and 91.7 μgm−3 and 10.1 μgm−3 for males, respectively. A 1 μgm−3 increase in PM2.5 resulted in a 0.02 ml reduction in FEV1, 0.43 ml reduction in FVC, and 0.004% reduction in FEV1/FVC. We also found a similar inverse relationship between BC and lung functions (9.6 ml decrease in FEV1 and 18.5 ml decrease in FVC per 1μgm−3 increase in BC). A higher proportion of non-smoking biomass fuel users (50.1% of the females and 46.7% of the males) had restrictive patterns of lung function abnormalities, which need further exploration.
