  Comparative Study of Structural, Optical, Morphological, and Magnetic Properties of BifeO3 Nanoparticles Synthesized Via Green and Chemical Methods

  By Sridhar Parida, Niramaya Sahoo

  Abstract: BiFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a green route using Strychnos nux-vomica leaf extract and a conventional chemical sol–gel method to study the effect of synthesis routes on their properties. XRD analysis confirmed phase-pure rhombohedral BiFeO3 for both samples. FTIR analysis was carried out to confirm the formation of the perovskite structure and to detect surface functional groups. FESEM analysis indicated a significant effect of phytochemicals in controlling particle growth and …

  A Review on Loading Methodologies of Active Aromatic Substance into Biopolymers

  By Dibyankar Barik, Rakesh Kumar

  Abstract: Biopolymer-based films are increasingly being studied as sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging materials due to their biodegradability, renewability, and potential for functionalization. There are several natural polymers in the category of biopolymers such as soy protein, zein, cellulose, chitosan, and several other biodegradable synthetic polymers such as polylactic acid and polycaprolactone. However, these often show limitations in barrier properties, mechanical strength, and resistance to microbial contamination. To overcome these drawbacks, …

  Fabrication of Polydimethylsiloxane Composites with Nickel Nanoparticles: Unification and Current–Voltage Relationship

  By Ashish Kumar, Pankaj Kumar Modi

  Abstract: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–nickel nanoparticle (NiNPs) nanocomposite films were fabricated and systematically investigated to understand their electrical transport behavior through current–voltage (I–V) characterization. Nanocomposite films with varying Ni nanoparticle filler concentrations (14.88 wt%, 15.77 wt%, and 16.65 wt%) were prepared using a solution-mixing and spin-coating technique, followed by controlled thermal curing. The electrical properties of both pristine PDMS and PDMS– NiNPs nanocomposites were examined over a wide voltage range (up to 800 …
