Zn Doped CuO Nanoparticles for Increasing the Longevity of The Agricultural Products †By Vatsal Jhaveri, Indra Neel Pulidindi, Suresh Selvaraj, Prakash Vaithyanathan
Abstract: Nanotechnology is an enabling technology at the service of mankind. Indeed, enhancing the long-term storage of agricultural products (post-harvest during transportation and storage) in general and apples and tomatoes, in particular, is a challenge. Zn-doped CuO is a proven nanomaterial with special ability to kill plant pathogens as well as a variety of microorganisms (bacteria, virus, and fungus). Much of the review is focused on the landmark papers published by …

Nanoyeast Supported on Silica Gel for The Continuous Flow Bioethanol ProductionBy Swara Pancholi, Parth Naghera, Manan Shah, Indra Neel Pulidindi, Suresh Selvaraj, Prakash Vaithyanathan
Abstract: Nanomaterials outperform their bulk counterparts. Yet, production of nanomaterials, especially, nanoyeast is a challenge and is an upcoming field. Yeast is a fungal strain that consumes carbohydrates (glucose, sucrose, molasses and the like) and produces bioethanol, a potential transportation fuel. Impregnation methods are well known in catalysis to yield nanomaterials via better dispersion. An attempt has been made to modulate the size of yeast to increase the efficiency of carbohydrate …

Direct Synthetic Routes of MXenes and Their Application in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) As Supplementary Sizing Layer†By Dev Patel, Meetkumar Joshi, Yashraj Pranavbhai Joshi, Indra Neel Pulidindi, Suresh Selvaraj
Abstract: Sized carbon fibers with a supplementary sizing layer of MXenes (synthesized via traditional MAX phases), bonded to carbon fibers (CFs) as well as the resin matrix via different kinds of physicochemical (van der Waals force, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding) interactions enhanced the performance of the resulting carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials. This is because of the strong interface generated due to the appearance of MXene at the interface of …
