Cytotoxicity of Formulated Graphene and Its Natural Rubber Nanocomposite Thin Film in Human Vaginal Epithelial Cells: An Influence of Noncovalent Interaction.

Graphene family materials (GFMs) are extensively explored for various biomedical applications due to their unique physical properties. The prime challenge is to establish a conclusive safety profile of these nanomaterials and their respective products or devices. Formulating GFMs with appropriate ingredients (e.

Green Synthesis of 1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole Using Copper Oxide Nanofiber as a Heterogeneous Catalyst.

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/copper oxide composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning technique using PVP and copper acetate as precursors and calcinated at high temperature to yield polymer free, phase pure copper oxide nanofibers (CuO NFs). The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images and selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED) results showed that the calcinated CuO NFs were crystalline with 166 nm diameter and monoclinic in phase. From the catalytic application point of view, the newly prepared electrospun CuO NFs were tested for N-arylation of imidazole using aryl halides.
