Fast and Facile Synthesis of Stable and Biocompatible Silver nanoparticles Stabilized by Polyethylene Glycol

Jain S., Singh S., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

Silver nanoparticles show enhanced properties, when supported onto a substrate and incorporated into organic or inorganic matrix. Their remarkable properties are shape and size dependent. Ethylene glycol and its polymers are environment friendly or environmentally [...]

Novel In Situ Nano Fibrous Reinforced All Polymer Polypropylene-Nylon Composite

Radhakrishnan S., Jain S., Khare A., Maharashtra Institute of Technology, IN

Self reinforced polymer composites are significantly different than the conventional fiber reinforced composites since there is no external additive and the polymer itself assumes fibrous morphology during melt /solution processing. In such materials, typically liquid [...]

Super-hydrophobic paper influence on bacterial attachment suggests potential application as packaging material

Jain S., Li L., Breedveld V., Hess D.W., Barnett C., Davis M., Singh S., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

The surface topography and chemistry of cellulose-based paper, was controlled by a two-step plasma (glow discharge) treatment. Selective plasma etching of the amorphous regions of cellulose followed by plasma deposition of a thin (100 nm) [...]

Non-Condensing Calcium Alginate Microspheres for Macrophage-Selective Gene Delivery and Transfection

Jain S., Amiji M., Northeastern University, US

The main objective of the study was to design a non-condensing polymer microsphere-based gene delivery system for macrophages. An external gelation technique was used to prepare plasmid DNA-encapsulated calcium alginate microspheres. The microspheres were characterized [...]
