Abstract: The present invention deals with development of a novel process for manufacturing moisture resistant glossy finish hybrid green polymeric composites with variable density in range of 0.2-1.68 g/cc, low water/moisture absorption in the range of 0.1-1.3%, tensile strength and tensile modulus in range of 6.5-105 MPa and 250-6850 MPa, respectively and to the best of our knowledge the fabricated hybrid green composites has not yet developed universally using different types of industrial wastes particulates. Moreover, hybrid composites developed using industrial wastes, natural fibres and epoxy/polyester/polyurethane polymers is a unique materials and have multifunctional applications in wider spectrum as an alternative to wood, synthetic wood, wood plastic composites, screen printing sheet, plastic, fibre and glass reinforced polymer products, including tin sheet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multifunctional hybrid particle board and a process for manufacturing hybrid unlaminated and laminated green composite particle boards/fibre board and panels with variable density, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity and water absorption with epoxy and polyester resin system under compression moulding machine.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a panel of biomarkers for the detection/diagnosis and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Biomarkers for the detection/diagnosis of carcinoma cells identified by proteomic profiling and, detection/identification of selected proteins that are differentially regulated, in a biological sample from an individual as candidate markers. The biomarkers are useful for non-invasive early detection/prognosis focusing on the protein profiling of saliva at different stages of oral pre-cancer and cancer progression. Furthermore, the present invention deals with novel methods of diagnosing and for providing a prognosis for oral cancer and periodontal disease. In addition, the invention also provides kits that are useful for the practice of the methods of the invention.
