Piezoelectricity performance and β-phase analysis of PVDF composite fibers with BaTiO and PZT reinforcement.

Piezoelectric composite fibers have various applications such as energy harvesting and human body monitor devices. Therefore, the construction of fibers that have the highest piezoelectric efficiency while using materials with the least toxicity is of great importance for health. Consequently, in the research a head PZT/PVDF (Lead Zirconate Titanate/Polyvinylidene fluoride) and Lead free BaTiO/PVDF (Barium Titanate/Polyvinylidene fluoride) 0-3 connection type composites nanofibers were fabricated by Electrospinning method.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Ocimum basilicum cultured under controlled conditions for bactericidal application.

Biological synthesis involves the reduction and stabilization of metal ions using different types of organisms. Plants are an attractive source for silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesis because of their strong reducing potentials by production of a wide range of secondary metabolites. The present study describes the biosynthesis of Ag NPs using plant extract of Ocimum basilicum extract grown under in vitro condition for the first time.
