Abstract The project employs rigorous life cycle assessment methodologies, including Ecological Footprint, Impact 2002+, Global Warming Damage Potential, and more, to evaluate the environmental impact of each process. This project compares the utilization of cotton stalks for wood composites, bioethanol, and biogas production. Through life cycle assessment, the project shows that bioethanol has a

Abstract Plastic waste is a major global environmental challenge, particularly in marine habitats. This project focuses on two critical aspects: the biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for detecting marine plastics. It explores the microbial breakdown of PET and waste management options. The project also highlights the

Abstract This project focuses on addressing the significant contribution of agricultural waste burning to - global warming and climate change. By utilizing fungus as a binding element, a sustainable wood composite is being developed. The chosen fungus for this project is Aspergillus niger, which is grown and applied to cotton stalks and pulverized wood under specific conditions that induce

Abstract Amphibious robots have great potential for a variety of applications, but their design can be complex and expensive. Bio-inspired soft robotics offers a promising solution, as their actuators can perform evenly on land and underwater. Our robot takes inspiration from turtle locomotion as it bridges the gap between traditional four-legged robots and swimming robots. The robot can be

Abstract Coral reefs play a crucial role in supporting a quarter of all aquatic life, but their existence is now threatened by ongoing climate changes. Our project aims to develop an underwater soft robot that can mimic the morphology and shape of actual marine creatures and to imitate their swimming motion. This robot can play a critical role as monitoring platform to understand the reefs

Abstract The project explores the use of Nd: YAG laser irradiation to synthesize nano bioactive glass for bone replacement. The technique involves precipitating nanoparticles in a glassy matrix, such as borate glasses, doped with zinc oxide (ZnO) using a melt quenching technique. The effects of different concentrations of ZnO on the glasses' structural and optical properties were studied using

Abstract Activated carbon nanoparticles (ACNPs) are novel antimicrobial materials being explored for wound healing and tissue regeneration. ACNPs can be coated on fabrics to provide antibacterial protection. Porous ACNPs can absorb impurities and toxins from wounds, acting as effective wound dressings. To evaluate their effectiveness and safety, antimicrobial testing and cytotoxicity assays are

Abstract The production of activated carbon from bagasse and coffee waste is a promising approach for sustainable waste management and the production of a valuable material. Bagasse, the fibrous residue from sugarcane processing, and coffee waste, such as coffee grounds or husks, are abundant agricultural by-products with high carbon content. The resulting activated carbon exhibits excellent

Abstract The project explores the recycling and reuse of organic waste fibers sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The project investigates the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of SCB, its production percentage in Egypt, and particle board production from SCB. The project investigates the mechanical properties of a composite material made from sugar cane and epoxy. The addition of epoxy resin

Abstract Water hyacinth has become widespread in freshwater bodies in several countries, leading to various issues, particularly its substantial water consumption and the resulting need to control its growth. Among the different methods of controlling water hyacinth, mechanical control stands out as the most effective and environmentally friendly approach. A proposed harvester robot has been
