Antibacterial Activity of CaSO4 Nanorods Prepared via Hydrothermal Method Compared to Bulk CaSO4
Abstract: 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Calcium sulphate (CaSO4) nanorods have been synthesized by low-temperature hydrothermal method using CaSO4 powder as precursor and hexadecylamine (HDA) as surfactant at 180 0C for 7 days. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show nanorods have diameters of about 100nm-200nm and length of about 2-10μm. Fourier transformed infrared spectrum (FTIR) shows a strong doublet …

Comparative Study of Various Materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: A Review
Abstract: Solid State Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) offer clean and efficient power generation systems with good fuel flexibility, high power density, low pollution, modularity and high energy conversion efficiency. The conventional SOFCs operate at a higher temperature of about 1000 â°C. This limits the use of materials to be used for their construction. Presently, the major research effort ongoing is to develop the low cost intermediate temperature (IT) SOFC. These cells …

Flower-like ZnO Thin Film Deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition
Abstract: The ZnO flowers were prepared by chemical bath deposition (CBD), low transmittance in the ultraviolet region was observed, the band gap decreases with increase in deposition time. The SEM images of the deposited ZnO revealed that the films are flower-like with well-developed petals. The XRD of the film are crystal with several peaks. Prominent among them are the peaks at 2θ values of around 32.5°, 35.9° and 38.5° corresponding to …

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Biological Method and its Application in Protection of Wood from Ganoderma Species
Abstract: The major advancement in the field of nanotechnology during the last decade have resulted in the wide spread application of nanomaterials in the field of science and technology. Nanoparticles were synthesised biologically, which is a pure green chemistry and completely toxic free compared to chemical synthesis. The property of the reductases present in the E. coli culture filtrate reduces silver nitrate to silver oxide and also serves as a capping …

Low-velocity Impact Studies on Glass Reinforced Composites Using Rubber Microparticles and Silica Nanoparticles Modified Epoxy Resin
Abstract: Low velocity impact studies are conducted on +/−45º stitched bonded E-glass epoxy composites manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). Two sets of composites panels are produced – One using unmodified epoxy resin (control composites) and the other modified epoxy resin containing both rubber microparticles and silica nanoparticles (modified epoxy composites). Modified epoxy resin blend contained 6.5 wt% rubber microparticles and 8.1 wt% of silica nanoparticles. Studies include evaluation …
