Nanocellulose and Their Thermoplastic Nanocomposites
Nanocellulose fibers with the average diameter below 100nm were successfully obtained by a high shear microfluidizer. Their large surface area and nano-scale dimensions can lead to the emerging materials for reinforcements in polymer composites, differentiating [...]
Large scale Eco-friendly Synthesis of Nanoparticulate Fillers for Corrosion Resistant Vinyl Coatings
The paper describes eco-friendly / green route for large scale synthesis of nanoparticulate additives such as calcium carbonate, iron oxide, barium sulphate etc. which as used for coating applications. The synthesis is carried out using [...]
Understanding the Biological Impact of Nanoengineered Surfaces
Casey B.J., Kumar G., Petrochenko P., Skoog S.A., Narayan R.J., Goering P.L., Dair B.J., U.S. Food and Drug Administration, US
There is a growing trend in the medical device industry to manipulate the surface topography of a device with nanoscale features in order to promote advantageous biological responses such as better tissue integration and/or faster [...]
Life cycle considerations for engineered nanomaterials: A case study for nano-enabled coatings on drywall
Engineered nanomaterials are being incorporated into elements of the building industry. Advantages such as increased resistance to ultraviolet damage, wear and fouling of construction materials are relevant to coatings. Particles engineered at the nanometer size [...]
Recovery of phosphate from surface waters using a calcium silicate composite material for potential application in environmental remediation
In many locations, contamination of surface waters by phosphate due to agricultural run-off is becoming a major environmental concern. Currently, there are no effective means for its removal, due to the low phosphate concentration (< [...]
Electrospinning of decorated nanofibers with active cerium oxide nanoparticles
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (ceria NPs) attract a great research and commercial interests due to its observable capability to capture radicals and dissolved oxygen molecules. Keeping ceria NPs in active form; containing Ce+3 ions with O-vacancies, [...]
Photocatalytic Performance of Ag modified and doped TiO2 nanoparticles
In this work, TBOT was used as the titanium source for preparation of TiO2 nanoparticles, followed by calcination at 500°C for 2 hours to achieve fine TiO2 nanoparticles powder (S1). The obtained S1 powder was [...]
Quinaldine and Indole based pH Sensitive Colorimetric Chemosensor and their application of nanofiber
Colorimetric chemosensors are now considered as one of the most effective analytical method used in the environment monitoring. Colorimetric chemosensors for pH sensing can easily detect the primary danger or change of the surrounding environment [...]
Life Cycle Analysis of Plastics in Southeast Queensland – Recycled Plastics versus Bio plastics in Electronics
Electronics and electronic products are increasingly becoming part of life. However electronic product manufacturing involves a number of energy and chemical process steps. Energy use in material extraction for electronic products, chemical use, product manufacturing [...]
