ABSTRACT β-BaTi2O5 (β-BT2) nanorods were obtained for the first time by a simple hydrothermal method from a dried gel precursor. The influence of NaOH solution concentration sfrom 0.1 M to 2 M on crystallisation and microstructure was discussed. β-BT2 nanorod with a single-crystal structure exhibited obvious piezoelectric response and piezocatalytic capability for rhodamine B. The degradation of RhB by β-BT2 nanorods under ultrasonic irradiation demonstrated that β-BT2 was a potential piezocatalyst. The proposed strategy can serve as a valuable reference for the synthesis of β-BT2 nanorods and their application in piezocatalysis.

ABSTRACT Polycrystalline nanoparticles of Al-doped and Ce-co-doped ZnO were processed through sol-gel co-precipitation. Crystallite sizes determined from XRD were in the range of 10.90 to 48.77 nm. FTIR spectra indicated a stretching mode of Zn-O bond. The insertion of Al and Ce at Zn-O site created Al-O and Ce-O bonds. UV-vis spectra favoured the formation of impurity levels by doping and co-doping. Their overlapping with the conduction band edge led to the reduction of band-gap. Blue-green emission which arises from radiative recombination of a photogenerated hole with an electron occupying oxygen vacancy was observed in photoluminescence spectra. FESEM suggested granular growth in undoped ZnO which changed to diverse structures such as nano-bar and cluster of elongated grains. Significant improvement in room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) was noticed by co-doping of Ce in Al-doped ZnO. Formation of bound magnetic polarons (Ce3+-Vo-Ce3+) was the primary mechanism responsible for the improvement in RTFM.

ABSTRACT
High entropy alloys (HEAs), consisting of five or more elements with nearly equal atomic composition with one another (5–35%), are new-generation alloys that have attracted significant interest since their advent in 2004 because of their unique structural and mechanical properties and thermodynamic and chemical stability. Some characteristics, including high mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, high ductility and fracture toughness at cryogenic temperatures and high corrosion, erosion and wear resistance, have been demonstrated for HEAs that outperform traditional alloys and superalloys. Laser-cladding (LC) is an additive manufacturing technique that has good feasibility in designing and processing HEAs for advanced structural components and protective coatings. This overview provides a glimpse of recent advances in LC of HEAs in terms of design fundamentals, metallurgical phase and microstructure, specific properties for advanced coating applications and the effect of ceramic particles reinforcement in LC deposition of HEA coatings.

ABSTRACT The goal of this research was to examine how the dielectric properties of barium strontium titanate (BST) differ from those of BST that has been doped with molybdenum. The slow injection sol-gel technique was used. The addition of Mo6+ ions into the lattice of BST caused reduction of the mean crystallite sizes of BST, from 19.35 nm to 17.84 nm. Similarly, the mean particle size decreased from 26.02 nm all the way to 18.58 nm following the addition of Mo within the BST structure. Ultimately, the dielectric constant of BST was elevated with a maximum value of 946.3 at 1 MHz as compared to the value of 233.8 for BST. After Mo was added to BST, a reduction in dielectric loss (0.15576 to 0.0356) was also attained. Because of this, the Mo dopant in BST has significantly altered its microstructural and dielectric properties, making it suitable for multiple applications.

ABSTRACT Silybin is a key bioactive component of silymarin that display health-promoting actions in many chronic diseases. However, its clinical applicability is curtailed by its inherent issues like low aqueous solubility, poor bioavailability, high metabolism, fast elimination, and poor penetration in intestinal epithelial cells. In this context, nanotechnology plays a crucial role to address several issues of the broad range of bioactives. In this review, the authors have discussed the anticancer mechanism of silybin and its synergistic combinations. Further, it summarizes the emerging nanocarriers used to deliver silybin alone or in combination like lipid-based, polymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles, nanoemulsion, nanosuspension, and hydrogel. Besides, it presents the repercussions of nano-silybin and the present scenario of clinical studies in the field of cancer. The application of nanotechnology brings the opportunity for silybin to be used as an alternative for effective therapy in cancer management in near future. ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has potentials in orthopaedics and orthodontics but it has significant limitations such as low mechanical strength, low injectability and instability in body. Starches from five botanical sources were used as cohesion additives to prepare calcium phosphate bone cement (CPB) and the starch source showed significant impact on physicochemical properties of the CPBs. CPB modified by pregelatinised waxy maize starch (CPB-W) had the highest mechanical strength, longest setting time, and most compact structure compared with other CPBs. As the amylose content increased, the viscosity of starch modified cement paste increased, and the cured cement had lower density and mechanical strength. It appears that starch with a low amylose content significantly improves the surgical performance and mechanical strength of CPC. CPB-W also exhibited good cytocompatibility to MC3T3-E1 cells. Starch modified CPBs are considered as promising injectable bone cements for minimally invasive surgery applications like vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted with the aim of synthesising nanoemulsion of apricot kernel oil (AKO-NE) and evaluating its cytotoxic, pro-apoptotic, antioxidant and anti-angiogenic effects. The AKO-NE was synthesised by ultrasound (150 watt for 2 min) using a combination of Tween 20 and 80 as surfactant and ethylene glycol as co surfactant. Antioxidant capacity (ABTS, DPPH scavenging free radicals) and toxicity of AKO-NE (MTT assay) and its effects on the process of apoptosis (Flow cytometry and qPCR for BCL-2, Caspase 3, 7, 9) were evaluated by specialised methods. Then, the effect of AKO-NE on angiogenesis was measured by CAM and qPCR (VEGF and VEGFR) methods. The AKO-NE showed acceptable antioxidant power and selective toxicity effects against lung cancer cells (162.7 µl/mL). The pro-apoptotic effects of AKO-NE were confirmed by increasing the number of SubG1 phase cells in flow cytometry and increasing the expression of Cas-3, 7 and 9 genes and decreasing the expression of BCL-2 gene in qPCR method. Decreased vascular and foetal growth factors in the CAM model as well as decreased expression of VEGF and VEGF-R genes in AKO-NE-treated cells confirmed the inhibitory effects of AKO-NE on angiogenesis. Inhibitory effects of AKO-NE on the growth and proliferation of A549 cancer cells and induction of apoptosis, as well as its effects on reducing angiogenesis, can suggest this nanoemulsion as a useful combination in cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT The present study employs a facile and environmentally cleaner plasma technology to induce adhesion between the cotton fabric and CuO nanoparticles. The oxygen plasma pre-treatment of cotton fabric was performed using DC glow discharge plasma for different plasma treatment times (5, 10 and 15 min) with constant pressure and power. The untreated and plasma treated cotton fabrics were analysed by contact angle, AFM, XPS, XRD, FESEM and elemental mapping analysis. From the AFM results, it is observed that the surface roughness of treated fabric increases with plasma treatment time. XPS analysis reveals that the oxygen plasma treatment introduces oxygen-rich functional groups on the surface which provides the adhesion property of cotton fabric. The 15 min oxygen plasma treated cotton fabric is optimised to coat the CuO nanoparticles based on the AFM and XPS analyses. Furthermore, the CuO nanoparticles coated plasma treated cotton fabric are analysed for antibacterial test and a significant antibacterial activity was identified for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

ABSTRACT Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have great potential applications in the field of microelectronics. However, the low surface charge density of the triboelectric layer is one of the key problems greatly limiting its output performance. Herein, we report a high-performance TENG using BiFeO3@polydimethylsiloxane (BFO@PDMS) composite film as a triboelectric layer. The results indicate that doping a small amount of BFO particles can significantly increase the dielectric constant and surface area of the PDMS film, which maximises the surface charge density of the triboelectric layer. With an optimized doping concentration , the dielectric constant of BFO@PDMS composite film is 14.2% higher than that of the pure PDMS film. The BFO@PDMS-based TENG delivers a maximum output voltage and current of 180 V and 30 μA, corresponding to 200% and 500% increases compared with pure PDMS film, respectively, which can drive an electronic watch and light 52 LEDs, indicating potential applications in microelectronic devices.
