High-yield synthesis of silver nanowires for transparent conducting PET films.

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) with ultrahigh purity and high yield were successfully synthesized by employing a modified facile polyol method using PVP as a capping and stabilizing agent. The reaction was carried out at a moderate temperature of 160 °C under mild stirring for about 3 h. The prepared AgNWs exhibited parallel alignment on a large scale and were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and PL spectroscopy.

A Review on Anti-urease Potential of Coumarins.

Coumarins, a heterocyclic benzo-α-pyrones and naturally occurring ring structure that possess significant pharmacological properties, have attracted the attention of researchers and medicinal chemists to reveal the suitability of both natural and synthetic coumarins as drugs. Many compounds have been synthesized utilizing the basic coumarin structure. The diverse synthetic methods resulted in the synthesis of important coumarin derivatives that offer a wide range of biological properties as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic and antidepressant that make them potential drug candidates.
