In the present study, we prepared magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) loaded with natural () herb and Epilim (Ep) drug to evaluate the anti-cancerous activity against brain cancer cells. All the samples were prepared via co-precipitation approach modified with different concentrations of and Ep drug at room temperature. The MNPs loaded with drug and natural herb were studied in terms of crystal structure, morphology, colloidal stability, size distribution, and magnetic properties.

Mineral technology has attracted significant attention in recent decades. Mineral carbonation technology is being used for permanent sequestration of CO (greenhouse gas). Temperature programmed desorption studies showed interaction of CO with Mg indicating possibility of using natural feedstocks for mineral carbonation.

The composite hydrogels were produced using the solution casting method due to the non-toxic and biocompatible nature of chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The best composition was chosen and crosslinked with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), after which different amounts of graphene oxide (GO) were added to develop composite hydrogels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle was used to analyze the hydrogels.
