Over the years, the technological advancements in machine science have effectively enhanced the speed, power, and efficiency of the machines. Also, the power to weight ratio of machines has significantly increased. Machines are now capable of delivering more power while running continuously for several hours. Lubricants play a vital role in the overall machine performance; they reduce friction along with protecting machine components from corrosion. Selection of proper lubricant is one of the critical tasks associated with machine design technology. The lubricant is selected such that it should fulfill the purpose without affecting the performance of the machines. Various lubricants are available in the market considering the application, grade, and sources of production. The petroleum based lubricants are broadly used in a variety of applications but fail to survive under extensive load conditions and high temperature applications. Also, they are reactive to certain polymers and metals. Moreover, most of the petroleum based lubricants are flammable and get easily oxidized.

The process of applying protective adhesive coating upon the surface of yarns is known as sizing. Sizing chemicals are mainly applied on warp yarns to improve their performance during the weaving process as warp yarns are subjected to abrasion with various loom components during weaving. Sizing chemicals are also used to increase the smoothness and reduce the hairiness of the warp yarn. Size coating protects yarns from abrasion and reduce warp breakage rate in the loom. Textile sizing chemicals strengthen the yarns by 10% to 20%. Different type of sizing chemicals such as antistats, antisticks, binders, cleaning agents, defoamers, dispersants, lubricants, etc. are used to avoid breakage during weaving. Depending on their end-use, different kinds of textile sizing chemicals are employed for different applications. As an example, defoamers are effectively used in jet dyeing whereas low foams are required as dispersing agents to prevent re-deposition of various dyes during the garment wash process.

Zinc is an essential mineral for one's mental and physical well-being through helping in simple cellular function, and therefore, in the proper functioning of the reproductive organs. Zinc also aids to deter common skin irritations and strengthen the immune system. Zinc cannot be easily absorbed by the body without being attached to other substances, due to which supplemental zinc in the form of inorganic and non-chelated chemical is available. Zinc oxide, zinc sulphate, and zinc chloride are the common commercial inorganic zinc chemicals, which are majorly used in ointments for minor skin conditions such as burn and irritation. Due to its variety of functions, zinc oxide also finds its application in transparent transistor, heat dissipation, LED, transparent conductive layer for solar cells, thermoelectric conversion, etc. Zinc oxide, being majorly consumed over zinc sulphate and zinc chloride, is utilized in vehicle tires for better handling, durability and greater safety. Automotive and production of ceramics, glass and tiles are the important applications where inorganic zinc chemicals find its usage. The demand pattern of inorganic zinc chemicals is highly dependent upon its end use industries, and their market is expected to register a steady growth over the forecast period 2016–2026.

Over the past years, there has been a significant rise in the global warming as well as water and air pollution. In addition to this, the threat of contagious diseases has been spreading all around the world and has become a crucial social issue. In order to combat with the problem of water and air pollution, photocatalysts are being used across the globe. Photocatalysts are the substances that stimulate reactions by absorbing light without getting altered before or after the reaction. Photocatalysts absorb energy from sunlight and contribute to the purification of water and air by eradicating bacteria and providing sanitization to combat infection and disease outbreaks. Enhancement of catalytic efficiency of specific materials owing to the introduction of nanoparticulate photocatalysts resulted in the economic and technological advancement of photocatalysis over the past decade. Titanium oxide being exposed to light source exhibits both super hydrophilic properties and oxidative decomposition, which are used for eliminating bacteria, anti-fogging, preventing contamination, deodorization and other related applications. Exposure of photocatalysts and certain semi-conducting materials to light accelerate or trigger chemical reactions, resulting in the decomposition of organic molecules. Owing to their increasing applications, global photocatalysts market is expected to increase at a high CAGR over the forecast period (2016–2026), with significant developments coming in Japan and Europe.

Cholestasis is a condition (not a disease) where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum. The two basic distinctions are an obstructive type of cholestasis where there is a mechanical blockage in the duct system that can occur from agallstone or malignancy, and metabolic types of cholestasis which are disturbances in bile formation that can occur because of genetic defects or acquired as a side effect of many medications. Based on the defect location, cholestasis can be segmented as extrahepatic cholestasis and intrahepatic cholestasis.

Electrical insulation is a form of material in which internally present electric charges do not flow freely. This makes it impossible for electric current to be conducted under the influence of an electric field. The main difference between electric insulation and semiconductors and conductors is that the former possesses higher resistivity, while the latter carry current with more ease. A substance is an insulator or a conductor is normally depends on the number of free electrons it possesses, which can be used to carry electric current. An important characteristic of insulating material is its ability to withstand electric stress which is known as dielectric strength. This strength is quoted in kilovolts per millimeter (Kv/mm). Previously, ceramics and glass were the most prominently used electrical insulation material. At present, polymer-based electrical insulation contributes a significant share in the global electrical insulation material market.

Adhesives are a material holding two surfaces together in such a way that they never detach. Their primary features include wetting the surface, adhering to it by developing strength, and maintaining stability.
