A wetness impregnation method was used to impregnate the substrate with a substantial quantity of oleic acid together with a metal precursor, leading to significantly dispersed Ni-Fe bimetallic catalysts based on mesoporous SBA-15. Using a wide variety of characterization methods, such as XRD, BET, and TEM Analysis, the physiochemical properties of the catalyst were determined. The addition of the metal does not have any effect on the structural characteristics of the SBA-15 catalyst, as validated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which shows that the prepared SBA-15 supported catalyst has a hexagonal mesoporous structure.

Researchers are looking for the best parameters to boost mechanical strength as the demand for three-dimensional (3D) printers grows. The goal of this research is to find the best infill pattern settings for a polylactic acid (PLA)-based ceramic material with a universal testing machine; the impact of significant printing considerations was investigated.
