Separation of Nanoparticles from Nanoparticle Enhanced Phase Change Material

Haroon Sheikh M., Sharif M.A.R., Rupar P.A., University of Alabama, US

The phase change materials(PCM) have been used to store energy as a latent heat of fusion. Paraffin oils are proved to be the best suitable material as a PCM, however its heat capacity is lower [...]

Water Soluble Carotenoid Conjugates with Oligo- and Polysaccharides. Synergy of Drug Transport and Efficacy

Polyakov N.E., Leshina T.V., Meteleva E.S., Dushkin A.V., Konovalova T.A., Kispert L.D., University of Alabama, US

We present first example of water soluble conjugates of carotenoids with a triterpene glycoside, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), and natural polysaccharide arabinogalactan (AG), studied by various physicochemical techniques. Carotenoids are well known as a class of [...]

Formation of Ni/NiO core/shell nanostructures and their attachment on carbon nanotubes

Chopra N., Claypoole L., Bachas L.G., University of Alabama, US

We report a facile wet synthesis method coupled with microwave irradiation to successfully control the morphology of Ni/NiO core/shell nanoparticles. Furthermore, we report for the first time, microwave-based synthesis of hollow NiO nanostructures from Ni [...]
