Piezoelectric Nanoparticles Loaded with Curcumin for Cancer Treatment
Abstract: Conventional cancer chemotherapy treatments are often compromised by systemic toxicity which starts from the lack of tumor specificity of administered anticancer drugs. The side effects limit the dose of the drug that can be administrated, making effective cancer treatment difficult. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery has the potential to overcome this challenge by targeted delivery to tumor and taking the advantage of tumor’s natural leaky vasculature to increase the accumulation of drug-loaded …

Wear Characterization of Al/B4C/CNT Composites for Different Alloying Composition
Abstract: Wear is a surface phenomenon that occurs predominantly at the surface of the material. It is majorly due to the rubbing action between two surfaces that is attributed to solid state contact. As wear is a material removal phenomena occurring at the outer surfaces, it is indeed very apt to develop materials that have wear resistant characteristics. Henceforth in the current work, it is therefore judicially justified to develop a …

Structural and Photoluminescence Studies of Porous Anodic Alumina Templates Prepared using Different Electrolytes
Abstract: The effect of different electrolytes on the structural and optical properties of porous anodic alumina (PAA) was investigated. PAA templates were synthesized using different electrolytes namely; oxalic, phosphoric, sulphuric and chromic acids maintained at two different temperatures, 18 and 27°C respectively. PAA templates were prepared using two-step anodization process in 0.3 M of sulphuric acid at 20 V, 0.3 M of oxalic acid at 40 V and 0.3 M of …

Synthesis and Characterization of Terbium Doped Strontium Aluminate Nanophosphor
Abstract: Luminescence investigations of Tb activated strontium aluminate phosphors prepared using the sol-gel method are described. The phosphor has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction scanning electron microscope. Optical properties were studied by photoluminescence spectra. Photoluminescence studies of the prepared phosphors showed prominent IR emission, apart from near-band edge emission and green emission. Keywords: SrAl4O7, nanomaterial, sol-gel, photoluminescence, X-ray powder diffraction Cite this Article Jisha VT, Suresh G. Synthesis and Characterization …

SnO2 Nanoparticles: Preparation, Characterization and Humidity Sensor Application
Abstract: The microwave-assisted synthesis method is used to prepare SnO2 nanoparticles for the application of humidity sensor, because of oxygen vacancy in the lattice. Microwave-assisted method is very simple, low cost and rapid heating method. Room temperature ionic liquids and tin source were used in the reaction as precursors. The obtained SnO2 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, particle size analyser, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, and thermo gravimetric-differential thermal analyser. The …

Study of Nanoindentation Characteristics of Al/B4C/CNT Composites
Abstract: Nanoindentation characterization is one of the essentialities that are used in current work to measure hardness and elastic moduli properties of Al reinforced with B4C particulates and carbon nano-tube (CNT). The nanoindentation characterization enables measurements of mechanical characteristics on nano scale. The method is very effective to understand the localized variations in mechanical behavior of the composites that are influenced by precipitation of reinforcements. The composites were synthesized en-route powder …
