Green Synthesis and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Based on Leaves Extract of .

This study focuses on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extract of leaves. The extraction was done using maceration at room temperature in water for 48 h. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by IR, XRD, TEM, and SEM.

Highly Toughened Nanostructured Self-Assembled Epoxy-Based Material-Correlation Study between Nanostructured Morphology and Fracture Toughness-Impact Characteristics.

We present an efficient and effective method for preparing a novel self-assembled nanostructured material with high toughness and impact strength from a blend of di-glycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and epoxidized poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene) (eSBS) tri-block copolymer. The field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscope results show the nanostructured morphological characteristics of the blends. This study achieved the highest fracture toughness, with a fracture toughness in the form of critical stress intensity factors () value of 2.

Green Synthesis of Sodium Alginate Capped -CuInS Quantum Dots with Improved Fluorescence Properties.

CuInS (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) are known to be ideal fluorophores based on their low toxicity and tunable emission. However, due to low quantum yield (QY) and photostability, the surface is usually passivated by a higher bandgap shell (e.g.

Cytotoxicity, fluorescence tagging and gene-expression study of CuInS/ZnS QDS - meso (hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin conjugate against human monocytic leukemia cells.

The toxicity of heavy metals present in binary semiconductor nanoparticles also known as quantum dots (QDs) has hindered their wide applications hence the advent of non-toxic ternary quantum dots. These new group of quantum dots have been shown to possess some therapeutic action against cancer cell lines but not significant enough to be referred to as an ideal therapeutic agent. In this report, we address this problem by conjugating red emitting CuInS/ZnS QDs to a 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin -photosensitizer for improved bioactivities.

Antimicrobial properties of MFeO (M = Mn, Mg)/reduced graphene oxide composites synthesized via solvothermal method.

We herein report the synthesis of MFeO (M = Mn, Mg)/reduced graphene oxide (MFeO/RGO) through a simple and novel pressure cooker assisted solvothermal method. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared materials were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The antimicrobial study revealed that the as-synthesized materials displayed good antibacterial effect against E.
