Thermomechanical and Hydrous Effect of Heavy Fuel Oil in a Building Material Based on Silty Clayey Soil
Ohindemi G. Yameogo, Donzala D. Some, Sié Kam, Adamah Messan, Takenori Hino and Dieudonné J. Bathiebo
This study focuses on the use of heavy fuel oil in construction in Burkina Faso. Mixed with silty and/or clay soil, it is used
as a coating to reinforce the walls of raw soil constructions which are very sensitive to water. The interest of this paper is to shed light
on the thermomechanical and above all water effects of heavy fuel oil on(...)

Carbon Nanotubes in Water Treatment: Progress and Challenges, In Innovative nanocomposites for the remediation and decontamination of wastewater.
Wilfrida Nyanduko Nyairo, Victor Odhiambo Shikuku, Yacouba Sanou
Access to safe drinking water is one of the most pressing challenges in the 21st century. New and better
technologies for the treatment of wastewater are critically needed. Carbon nanotubes are emerging as
effective and environmentally friendly alternative adsorbents for water purification due to their porous
structure, relatively large spe(...)

Nonlinear optical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) thin films doped with Bixa Orellana dye
S. Zongo, A.P. Kerasidou, B.T. Sone, A. Diallo, P. Mthunzi, K. Iliopoulos,M. Nkosi, M. Maaza, B. Sahraoui,
Natural dyes with highly delocalized π-electron systems are considered as promising organic materials for nonlinear optical applications. Among these dyes, Bixa Orellana dye with extended π-electron delocalization is one of the most attractive dyes. Bixa Orellana dye-doped Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films were prepared through spin(...)

Time-based investigation of the growth of VO2(B) micro- and nanostructures on vanadium by hydrothermal synthesis
B.T Sone R. Benoit S. Zongo R. Bucher, M. Maaza
In an autoclave partly-filled with water wherein a V metal strip is placed 70° to the horizontal we observed that VO2 nanorods and exfoliated microspheres were generally grown on the portion of the strip above the water surface while parallelepiped-like structures were generally grown on the portion below. XRD, HRTEM, showed that VO2 structure(...)
