Graphene Coating on Cutting Tools Can Remove the Use of Coolants
Abstract: Graphene attracts particular interests due to its unique properties like high temperature operations, high mechanical strength and lubricating properties etc. Recently Arshi and Dighewar have studied to improve surface roughness, tool life and production rate of materials by using a protective covering of titanium nitride (TiN) over steel tools [1]. They have obtained satisfactory results. In this paper, we use graphene as a coating on metal cutting tools and have …

Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticle using Leaves of Lawsonia inermis: Antibacterial, Antifungal and Anti-Oxidant Activity
Abstract: Nanotechnology is one of the fastest developing sciences over the past few years. This is an emerging field of modern research dealing with synthesis and designing of particle structure ranging from approximately 1–100 nm. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known for their tremendous applications in the field of therapeutics and diagnosis. In the present study, we have confirmed that the antibacterial, antifungal and anti-oxidant activity of biosynthesized AgNPs which were synthesized …

Preparation and Characterization of Lanthanum Doped Calcium Aluminate Nanophosphor (CaAl2O4: La) by Sol-Gel Method
Abstract: Abstract Lanthanum doped calcium aluminate nanophosphor (CaAl2O4: La) was prepared by sol-gel method. Characterizations such as XRD, SEM, EDAX and PL were done. Monoclinic structure was confirmed by the XRD analysis; the particle size was found to be 27 nm and is determined by (Williamson and Hall plot) W-H plot method. It shows that the particles were of small granular structure, and were interlinked with each other, lead to the …

Efficient Green Synthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles Using Murraya koenigii Leaf Extract
Abstract: Green synthesis of nanoparticles by plant extract is at present under exploitation due to eco-friendly, non-toxic and inexpensive process. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by ultrasound assisted sol-gel precipitation method using titanium tetra-isopropoxide as a precursor and Murraya koenigii leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The leaf extract was prepared under various solvent media such as ethanol and distilled water under controlled ultrasonication. Due to effective ultrasound, …

A Simple Sol–Gel Route for the Synthesis and Characterization of Tm-Doped CaAl2O4 Nanophosphor
Abstract: Calcium Aluminate nanophosphor doped with Thulium (CaAl2O4: Tm) was synthesized by simple sol–gel route. The obtained nanophosphor was characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also photoluminescence spectra (PL), and thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) characterization were done. The XRD revealed the formation of monoclinic structure and the particle size was determined by Scherrer formula. It showed that the particles were …
