The bio-based solid polymer electrolyte serves as a promising choice for the next generation of energy storage devices to meet the requirement of green chemistry. In the current research, a green plasticized magnesium ion-conducting biopolymer electrolyte was developed using simple solution casting method for Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) applications. The biopolymer Cellulose Acetate (CA) as the host polymer, with varying concentrations of BaTiO as the nanofiller, Mg(CFSO) as the ionic dopant, and PEG as the plasticizer.

The incorporation of a remineralizing agent into a restorative material to improve its property of preventing dental caries and the occurrence of secondary caries has been investigated by various researchers.Hence, in the present study, we have incorporated two nonfluoridated remineralizing agents [theobromine and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP-CPP)] into the conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) and evaluated their mechanical properties.

Methodology This study evaluated the ability of three bonding methods (Group A, total-etch technique; Group B, selective-etch technique; and Group C, self-etch technique) to enhance the fracture resistance of reattached tooth fragments. Sixty permanent maxillary central incisors were chosen, segmented at 3 mm from the incisal edge, and randomly distributed among the three groups.

In this work, we have examined the nature of molecular interactions to investigate the structure-functional relationship of a halogen-based derivative. The FTIR, HRMS and NMR spectroscopic techniques confirmed the formation of the desired novel Schiff base compound.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel mixed ligand Ni(II) metal complex has been investigated for the modification in structural conformation, coordination bond, and noncovalent interactions. The novel Ni(II) metal complex [Ni(TFPB)(1,10-Ph)(DMF)] has been synthesized and structurally characterized, which featured six coordination with three bidentate ligands connected through oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The single-crystal X-ray analysis showed that the compound possessed octahedral geometry and C-H…F, C-H…O, and π…π intermolecular interactions resulting in the formation of supramolecular architecture contributed significantly towards the crystal packing and molecular stability.
