In the present work corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 2 M H2SO4 solution by Nicotiana tabacum extract was studied by weight loss method. It has been found that the extract acts as an effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in Sulfuric acid medium. The inhibition process is attributed to the formation of an ad…

Whenever nanoparticles encounter biological fluids like blood, proteins adsorb on their surface and form a so-called protein corona. Although its importance is widely accepted, information on the influence of surface functionalization of nanocarriers on the protein corona is still sparse, especially concerning how the…

Laser speckle noise occurs owing to the strong interference that originates in the high coherency of laser light and the surface topography of screen. The suppression of the speckle noise is necessary for laser displays such as an image projection system. To reduce the speckle noise, we have tried to control the speck…
