Fabrics and medical devices (catheters) coated with Zn doped CuO nanoparticles kills micro-oganisms and provide healthy environment
Abstract: These days, drug resistance by microorganisms is a major challenge in the field of medicinal chemistry. Most of the familiar antibiotics turnout to be of no impact in curbing the proliferation of microorganism (bacteria, virus and fungus). To address the issue of multi-drug resistance (MDR) and extremely drug resistance (EDR) in microorganisms that cause various health complications, like the dental decay, biofilm formation, foul smell, delayed wound healing, aggravation of …

Steam Activated Carbon Material from the Fruit Shells of Sterculia foetida for Energy and Environmental Applications
Abstract: Steam activation of the biochar from Sterculia foetida forms a green route for the synthesis of activated carbon material with high specific surface area (1017 m2/g). The corresponding value with a chemical activating agent (K2CO3) is much lower (596 m2/g). Structural parameters of the activated carbon materials were deduced from XRD studies. Moreover the thermal stability of the activated carbon materials from steam activation is nearly 100°C higher than that …
