Recent research in medical field has reviled that phthalates are carcinogenic. Phthalates are derivatives of phthalic acid, are produced by reacting phthalic anhydride with appropriate alcohols. Phthalates have been termed as metabolic disruptors. Longer exposure of many years to these metabolic disruptors can deregulate the complex metabolic pathways in a subtle manner. Resulting in the damage to the vital organs like liver and kidneys. The unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) used in the manufacturing of products which come in contact with human foods or useables should be phthalate free. In August 2008 a legislation was enacted in USA under Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, public law 110-314. Under this law, it became unlawful for any person to manufacture or sale, distribute or import in USA any children toys or child care article that contains 0.1% of Di ethyl hexyl phthalate ( DEHP) , Di butyl phthalate( DBP) or Benzyl butyl phthlate (BBP). A similar restriction was imposed in Europe in 2009. In view of above we worked to develop phthalate free resins. We had to eliminate the sources of phthalates i.e. phthalic acid and its anhydrides also the solvents like Di butyl phthalate having phthalate molecules .This deteriorates the mechanical properties, to overcome this problem step by step reduction of phthalic anhydride was done through a series of recipes. The reaction time, temperature and raw materials were monitored to achieve the required branching of the molecular structure leading to improved mechanical properties of the product. The UPR developed through this experimentation is free of phthalates and exhibits tensile strength in the range of 61 MPA or higher. For development of phthate free resins with acceptable mechanical properties, we used an experimental set up comprising a glass reactor, equipped with a mechanical anchor type stirrer, heating system having a range from 0-400 0c, covered with a glass lid with five holes, to accommodate, thermocouple, thermometer, condenser, inlet for chemicals. The chemicals used include , phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, adipic acid, fumaric acid, di ethylene glycol, mono ethylene glycol, neo pentyle glycol, styrene monomer, potassium hydroxide, hydroquinone, waxes, methyl ethyl ketone per oxide, cobalt octoate, methyl ethyl ketone . a Taking into account the properties of the different raw materials and their stichiometeric requirements to carry out the polymerization reaction properly we established different recipes and produced several batches of UPR. These resins were then used as a matrix to produce GRP sheets, chopped strand matt of 450 gms/m2 was used as reinforcement medium, for surface strength we used tissue mat of 50 gms/m2. Sheets were laminated in a glass mould, thickness being 3mm and size 1 ft 2 . From above GRP sheets, we arranged sample strips of 127*25.4*2.5 mm3 in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D3039, to measure tensile strength on UTM TIRA 2810.Similarly sample strips having dimensions 101.6*13*2.5 mm3 in accordance with the requirements of ASTM D3479 were developed to determine the flexural strength. Our recipe number 6 and 7, having no phthalates as raw materials reached the maximum tensile strength of 62 N/mm2. and flexural strength of 100 N/mm2 these mechanical strengths are good enough to produce a variety of GRP products with phthalates free status. An application titled “PHTHALATE FREE UNSATURATED POLYESTER RESIN”, has been submitted to intellectual Property Organization (IPO) Pakistan for grant of patent rights (Application No. 543/2014 dated 24.07.2014).

جواں جذبوں اور امکانات کا شاعر
ڈاکٹر رحمت علی شادؔ
جینے کے ڈھنگ تیری جدائی سکھا گئی
اور یاد تیری مجھ کو ہے شاعر بنا گئی
شہرِ فرید میں جنم لینے والے ڈاکٹر فہد ملک ایک خوش اخلاق،خوش لباس، خوش اطوار اور خوبرو نوجوان ہیں۔ جن کی پہچان کے دو بڑے حوالے ہیں۔ ایک یہ کہ وہ ایک فرض شناس میڈیکل ڈاکٹر ہیںاور دوسرا معتبر حوالہ یہ بھی ہے کہ وہ پاک پتن کے ابھرتے ہوئے ایک عمدہ لب و لہجے کے نووارد شاعر ہیں۔ شہرِ فرید کی ادبی روایت میں ایک خوش گوار اضافہ ثابت ہونے والے فہد ملک کے کلام میں فنی و فکری ہر دو طرح کی جھلکیاں بخوبی دیکھی جاسکتی ہیں۔
ڈاکٹر فہد ملک کی شاعری میں سادگی اور سلاست کا نصر نمایاں ہے۔ وہ کبھی لفاظی ،ثقیل اور بھاری بھرکم تراکیب کے چکر میں نہیں پڑتے ان کو جو بات کہنا ہوتی ہے بڑے سادہ اور موثر انداز میں کہہ دیتے ہیں۔ انھوں نے غزل کے ساتھ نظم بھی لکھی ہے جہاں انھوں نے نہ صرف خیال اور موضوع کو بہتر انداز میں بیان کیا ہے بل کہ عام فہم استعارات و تشبیہات ،اضافتیں، اشارے کنایے اور روایتی علامات بھی استعمال کی ہیں۔ ان کے خیالات منفرد اور لہجہ زود فہم ہے۔ وہ کوئی بھی خیال پیش کرتے ہیں تو اس کو الجھاتے نہیں۔بل کہ کھول کر بیان کر دیتے ہیں۔کسی بھی شاعر کے کلام میں سہلِ ممتنع کا استعمال ایک عمدہ خوبی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ کیوں کہ بڑے بڑے موضوعات اور بڑی بڑی باتوں کو چند موزوں الفاظ میں بیان کر دینا کوئی آسان بات نہیں۔ چھوٹے چھوٹے مصرعوں میں ایک مکمل اور بھرپور مضمون کو بیان کرنا غیر معمولی بات ہے۔ فہد ملک کی شاعری میں بھی سہلِ ممتنع کی متعدد مثالیں موجود ہیں۔ سہلِ ممتنع کا انداز لیے...

Delaying and Ignoring Trends in Marriages: A Critical Study in Hadith Context

Marriage is a preamble of human life. The human society builds its façade on the characteristics of this unit. Humanity has been granted with divine rules for a successful life. The latest version of divine rules are conveyed through Islam and presented by the Holy Prophet Muhammad of benefits everlasting and grand the declared Islam of history Early. (صلى الله عليه وسلم) these rules in all nooks and corners of life; as Qur’ān and Ḥadīth prominences the trend of in-time marriages to ensure the tangible merits of life. Qur’ān declares marriage as ‘God given relationship’, ‘order from God’, ‘A lawful manner’, ‘Firm covenant’, ‘Love and compassion’, ‘Chastity of life’, ‘Right of women and Sign of safety’ and along with it, as marriage emphasizes (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Muhammad Prophet the of traditions the depicting it a ‘Half of religion’, ‘Protection of eyes’, ‘Prevention of character from corruption’, ‘source of Devil’s desperation’ etc. Owing to this stress of in-time marriages, a Muslim society is not supposed to delay or ignore in time marriages. But in present era, the trend of delaying in making marriages or ignoring the importance of in-time marriages is observing everywhere. This delay in making in-time marriages of young generation shows the weaknesses of faith and confidence in life. It is also the cause of many physical diseases and mental disorders. It destroys the best capabilities and abilities of young force. This paper highlights the importance of timely marriages, strength of married-couple life and damages of late marriage so that the requisite of Islam to form the society on the desired shape may be fulfilled. Lastly, this article emphasizes the need to review/change the social behavior regarding late marriages it also emphasizes the need to review/change the social behavior regarding late marriages and a herald to initiate some sorts of laws for making in-time marriages in society so that prevailing damages due to late marriages can be curtailed.

Synthesis of Ln-Srxmoyoz Nanoparticles and Their Application in Photocatalysis

In this work mixed metal oxides nanoparticles were synthesized containing “Mo” and “Sr” as basic elements and lanthanides (La & Gd) were doped using sonication, sol-gel and hydrothermal methods with variation in calcination temperature and reaction time. The nanomaterials synthesized were computed theoretically and later on compared photocatalytically. MoO3 nanoparticles were synthesized using sonication and sol-gel methods for 04 hours and calcined at 03 different temperatures 250, 350 and 450 °C. To conclude the best suitable method for the synthesis of MoO3 nanoparticles were characterized using fourier transform infra-red (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis-diffraction scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), dynamic laser scattering-particle size analyser (DLS-PSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and UV-Visible spectrometer. The optical properties like band gap, extinction coefficient (K), refractive index (n), optical conductivity (ρ), dielectric functions (εr and εi) and Urbach energy (EU) were determined. The sol-gel method were concluded the better one and later on used for the synthesis of MoO3 nanoparticles with the reaction time of 10 and 24 hours. SrMoO4 nanocomposites were synthesized by varying the “Sr” and “Mo” concentration with change in reaction time of 04, 10 and 24 hours using the sol-gel method. The nanocomposites were characterized using FTIR, Raman analysis, SEM-EDX, HRTEM, DLS-PSA, XRD and UV-Visible spectrometer. The refinement parameters were calculated with the help of XRDdata using FULLPROFF and PROFEX software. The optical properties like band gap, extinction coefficient (K), refractive index (n), optical conductivity (ρ), dielectric functions (εr and εi) and Urbach energy (EU) were determined. Lanthanides (La and Gd) doped SrMoO4 nanocomposites were synthesized using hydrothermal method and characterized using FTIR, Raman analysis, SEM-EDX spectroscopy, TEM, DLS-PSA, XRD analysis and UV-Visible spectrometer. The refinement parameters were calculated with the help of XRD-data using FULLPROF and PROFEX software. The optical properties like band gap, extinction coefficient (K), refractive index (n), optical conductivity (ρ), dielectric functions (εr and εi) and Urbach energy (EU) were determined. All the synthesized nanomaterials were computed theoretically using SCM-ADF/BAND and VESTA software using Density Function Theory (DFT) principles with Kohn-Sham approach. Different parameters like change in basis set, Hubbard potential, XC-functional (LDA, GGA, Meta and Model) were run to obtain the results closet to the experimental one. Relationship between theoretical and experimental band gap was observed. Density of state (DOS) analysis was performed and contribution of elements “Mo”, “O”, “Sr”, “Gd” and “La” were observed with respect to fermi energy. MOPAC software results in the geometry and frequency optimization using semi-empirical Hamiltonians calculations with PM7 code. VESTA software gives the complete 3D structural representation of synthesized nanoparticles and nanocomposites with the detailed lattice and structural parameters. The photo-catalytic activity of all the nanoparticles and nanocomposites were done against anthropogenic organo-pollutants 2-methyl-4-nitrophenol and 2-methyl-4,6dinitrophenol. These both organo-pollutants are used in military and textile industries. The results of photocatalysis are in relation to type of metal oxide, synthesis method, synthesis conditions, change in particle size and band gap are compared with respect to percentage degradation and kvalues.
