Abstract Cassava starch (ST)‐konjac glucomannan (KGM) blend films were prepared and their thermal, rheological, mechanical, moisture sorption properties and water vapour transmission rate were determined. Response surface methodology was employed for the preparation of films using different levels of ST, KGM and glyce…
Poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) is used as the polymer host to dissociate ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN). Free standing solid polymer electrolytes of varied weight ratios are prepared by solution casting technique with tetrahydrofuran as solvents. Impedance measurement shows the highest ionic conductivity achieved at room t…
Indefinite optical properties, which are typically characterized by hyperbolic dispersion relations, have not been observed in naturally occurring materials, but can be realized through a metamaterial approach. We present here the design, fabrication and characterization of nanowire metamaterials with indefinite permi…
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has established to be a remarkably versatile biomaterial and can be used in a wide variety of applied scientific endeavours, especially for medical devices. Nanocellulose, such as that produced by the bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinus (bacterial cellulose, BC), is an emerging biomaterial with…
We report on the strong red emission properties of lead-free perovskite ferroelectric Pr3+-doped Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT: Pr3+) thin films without the need of charge compensation. The thin films were prepared by a chemical solution deposition method combined with a rapid thermal annealing process at 700 °C. The strong red…
We study the effects of phonon boundary scattering on the transport of thermal energy in semiconductor thin films across multiple length scales and temperatures. We use a model based on the kinetic theory of transport processes that accurately calculates the reduction of the phonon mean free paths by including the eff…
We report on a remarkable size and internal structure dependence on time- and polarization-resolved photoluminescence (PL) from individual regioregular rrP3HT (poly-3-(hexylthiophine)) nanoparticles. For the smallest particles (∼34 nm) with relatively low crystallinity (40%), the time evolution of polarization contras…
The fast switching in PWM drive applications exerts complex transient stresses on the cable and motors, creating conditions for different partial discharge form initiation. The mechanism of surface PD on dielectric materials (ethylene-propylene rubber and thermosetting insulation) under semi square voltage has been in…
The present paper demonstrates how the antimicrobial properties of chitosan can be enhanced by converting it into nanoparticles of desired size and surface charge using TPP (tripolyphosphate) initiated gelation process. It has been investigated and found that ionic gelation of cationic chitosan macromolecules offers a…
HgTe colloidal quantum dot films are studied for photodetection over the 3–5 μm atmospheric transparency window. The temperature dependence of the conductivity indicates that the material behaves approximately as an intrinsic semiconductor. In photoconduction, the responsivity can be as high as several hundred mA W−1…
Abstract During the past 70 years, more than 2000 metric tonnes of Pu, and substantial quantities of the ‘minor’ actinides such as Np, Am and Cm, have been generated in nuclear reactors. Some of these transuranium elements can be a source of energy in fission reactions (e.g. 239 Pu), a source of fissile material for n…
In this paper we report an eco-friendly route for the synthesis of sliver nanoparticles using Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) extract. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed and characterized by UV-Visible spectrum of the aqueous solution containing silver ions showed a peak at 420 nm correspond…
Abstract New catalytic systems are developed to increase the transesterification efficiency during the synthesis of poly(ethylene terephthalate ‐co‐ isosorbide terephthalate) with the aim of compensating for the lack of reactivity of the isosorbide and to reduce the coloration of the polymer. The combination of antimo…
Liposomes are well-established nanocarriers for improving the therapeutic index of anticancer agents. A remarkable understanding in the pathophysiology of breast cancer progression has emerged with information on the involved specific biomolecules, which may serve as molecular targets for its therapy. Hormonal and non…
We present the first systematic doping study on the ternary semiconductor Cu3SbSe 4 . We have developed a novel synthesis procedure that produces high-quality polycrystalline samples with hole concentrations an order of magnitude lower than have been reported for the undoped compound. The hole concentration can be inc…
Most of the newly developed drugs fails to achieve sufficient bioavailability in to brain due to low water solubility and low permeability. Drug delivery systems are one method for achieving entry of molecules to their desired site of action within the body. Dendrimers are the customizable nanopolymers with uniform an…
High quality graphene oxide (GO) with controllable degrees of oxidation was synthesized by simple chemical reactions inspired by approaches to unzip single wall carbon nanotubes using strong oxidizing agents. As compared to the conventional Hummers method, these reactions are less exo-therm involved without emission o…
We studied the magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of Ba2-xSrxNi2Fe12O22 single crystals over a wide composition range (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5). All the crystals show a ferrimagnetic order at around 660 K. While a Sr-free crystal is simply ferrimagnetic down to the lowest temperature, a transition from the ferrimagnetic into…
In order to investigate the influence of the central linkage and terminal substitutions on mesophase behaviour of liquid crystalline compounds we have synthesised six homologues series viz. 4′-(naphthalen-1-yldiazenyl)biphenyl-4-yl-4-alkoxybenzoate (Series-A), 4′-[(4-cyanophenyl)diazenyl]biphenyl-4-yl-4-alkoxybenzoate…
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized on treatment with nitric acid and the surface-modified CNT was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/CNT composites at different CNT loadings (i.e., 0.1, 0.25, 1.00, and 5.00 wt%) were prepared by melt…
