anti-prostate adenocarcinoma and lung cancer studies of phenoxyaniline--poly(methyl methacrylate) based nanocomposites controlled radical polymerization.

A phenoxyaniline-based macroinitiator is utilized for the first time in order to produce phenoxyaniline--poly(methyl methacrylate) composites through single electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) under mild conditions. A different weight percentage of Cloisite 93A is added into the polymer mixtures in order to increase their biochemical properties. The prepared block copolymer nanocomposites are characterized using ATR-IR, UV-vis-spectroscopy, XRD, Raman, TGA, DSC, a particle size analyzer, contact angle measurements and SEM in order to characterize their structural, thermal, surface and morphological properties.

Green synthesis of curcumin-silver nanoparticle and its modified electrode assisted amperometric sensor for the determination of paracetamol.

Contamination of paracetamol, a primary analgesic was wide spread in the water system that affects the eco-system. High-dosage of paracetamol to humans cause organ damages and showed adverse effect. It is important to monitor the paracetamol concentration in environmental and human samples periodically.

Graphene oxide-reinforced pectin/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex scaffolds.

Three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds based on graphene oxide (GO) incorporated pectin/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex (PCGO) were prepared by the freeze-drying technique. The chemical composition and microstructure of the prepared PCGO scaffolds were studied by FTIR and XRD analysis. The presence of GO and its uniform distribution within the polymer matrix was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and confocal Raman mapping analysis, respectively.

Quercetin-rGO based mercury-free electrode for the determination of toxic Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions using DPASV technique.

Metal ion pollution poses serious threat to environment. Analysis of Cd (II) and Pb (II) ions using chemically modified mercury free electrode is a feasible routine analytical tool. Developing an electrode surface modified with conductive 2D carbon and metal complexing ligand created a synergetic effect towards sensitive and selective electrochemical determination of metal ions.
