The average crystal size of the samples lies in the order of 6.2 ± 2.1 nm.
The difference between these samples lies in the pyrolysis regime, viz., one has been pyrolyzed in air and another in argon.
The percentage crystallinity of all the samples lies in the range 0.3 0.4%, thus confirming that all the nanocomposites are basically amorphous materials.
Patton [ 45] states that "the logic and power of purposeful sampling lies in selecting information-rich cases for study in depth.
Another demand of quantifying SNPs in pooled DNA samples lies in the study of population dynamics of pathogens, from which quantifying SNP frequencies may not only help monitor the pathogen dynamics associated with treatment but could also improve therapeutic decision making [ 9].
The corresponding curves for the other samples lay in between these two samples, in the order of their MBA content.
In the latter case, the representative points of all the samples lie in relatively homogeneous and random groupings.
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of all samples lay in the range between the Tgs of PBA and PHB, while their structure varied from partially crystalline to totally amorphous.
On the other hand during POST-M, the maximum number of sample scattered in group fifth and some samples lie in group sixth.
Consequently, based on the plasticity index (PI) and clay content values in the Williams [39] chart, the studied flood plain soil samples lie in field of medium exρpansion whereas the wastewater treated soil samples lie in high expansion field (Fig. 7b).
