This research delves into the potential use of fumed nanosilica in ultra-high performance concrete for ballistic protection. First, the mechanical properties, slump flow, and specific gravity of UHPC with different contents of Aerosil 200 were determined. Then, calorimetric studies were conducted on these cement composites. Lastly, the differential efficiency factor and spalling area of UHPC with fumed nanosilica were determined. It was found out that the slump flow, the mechanical properties, and differential efficiency factor are slightly decreased by the addition of fumed nanosilica. However, the addition of the fumed nanosilica is beneficial in terms of the spalling area decrease and it is highly reactive during the induction period. Some of the results are supported by BSEM imaging.

Fumed nanosilica@nanodiamond attached by APTES [(3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane], named FSiO@sND, was examined as an efficient anticorrosive nanohybrid for epoxy coating. Compared with fumed nanosilica (FSiO), nanodiamond (ND) moderated the hydrophilic nature of FSiO@sND and offered additional functional groups to the nanohybrid, i.e.

Entero-vulnerosorbents based on geometrically modified (GM) (mechanical treatment at different times, = 1, 4, and 7 h) fumed nanosilica A300 (NS) and protein molecules (human serum albumin/GM-nanosilica systems) were characterized with a focus on their surface, morphology, topography, and thermal properties. Microscopic, spectroscopic, and analytical techniques, including atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical profilometry (OP), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and elemental analysis (CHN), were used. The differentiation in the surface morphology, micro-nanoroughness, surface chemistry, thermal properties of the silica support, and protein/nanosilica systems were found.

Collection and mechanical recycling of post-consumer flexible polypropylene packaging is limited, principally due to polypropylene being very light-weight. Moreover, service life and thermal-mechanical reprocessing degrade PP and change its thermal and rheological properties according to the structure and provenance of recycled PP. This work determined the effect of incorporating two fumed nanosilica (NS) types on processability improvement of post-consumer recycled flexible polypropylene (PCPP) through ATR-FTIR, TGA, DSC, MFI and rheological analysis.

The food industry has a current challenge of increasing the recycling of post-consumer plastics to reduce plastic waste towards a circular economy, especially flexible polypropylene, which is highly demanded in food packaging. However, recycling post-consumer plastics is limited because service life and reprocessing degrade their physical-mechanical properties and modify the migration of components from the recycled material to the food. This research evaluated the feasibility of valorization of post-consumer recycled flexible polypropylene (PCPP) by incorporating fumed nanosilica (NS).
