Silver sulfide nanoparticles have gained applications in industrial areas due to their tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties. Among various nanoparticles silver sulfide nanoparticles have gained worldwide attention due to their assessment as an anti-microbial agent. The microstructure of nanostructured silver sulfide nanoparticles determine its electronic, structural, optical and electrical properties, and possible applications of silver sulfide nanoparticles in modern electronics, biology and medicine. The appearance of nonstoichiometry in silver sub-lattices of monoclinic silver sulfide at decreasing size particles to the nanometer scale is considered. The interdependent changes in non-stoichiometry and crystal structure at the transformation of a non- conducting nano crystalline silver sulfide in super-ionic conductors are also very important aspects in biosynthesis of Silver sulfide nanoparticles. The effect of nano crystalline state on the peculiarities of crystal structure, non-stoichiometry, optical and thermal properties of bio synthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles are explained. Silver sulfide nanoparticle have provide a significant role in the biomedical field for various application- oriented products such as IR cameras, solar panels, optical fiber and filters. Among modern biomedical potential of silver sulfide nanoparticles tremendous interest is oriented towards the therapeutically enhanced personalized health care practices. The biosynthesized silver sulfide nanoparticle using aqueous extract of Cinnamomum leaves has been documented in our present research work. The presence of secondary metabolites like flavonoid, tannins, steroid, cardiac glycosides, and alkaloids was confirmed by phytochemical analyses of the aqueous extract of Cinnamomum tamala leaves and these secondary metabolites can be used as reducing stabilizing and capping agent. After three months, the biosynthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles were found to be stable without the evidence of agglomeration at room temperature. Structural and morphological properties of Silver sulfide nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-VIS, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, TEM, and SEM spectroscopic techniques. The surface Plasmon resonance for Silver sulfide nanoparticles was obtained around 290nm. Biosynthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles was spherical in shape with effective diameter size of 50nm.Our novel approach provides a promising and effective method to large scale synthesis of eco-friendly, and cost effective pharmacologically active silver sulfide nano particles.

Silicon nitride thin films were deposited on the one-sided P-type polished boron-doped silicon wafer substrate via RF magnetron sputtering using stochimetric silicon nitride target at various target-to-substrate distances. Target to substrate spacing, a nonconventional parameter, was varied to optimize the surface roughness and grain size. This optimization provided a normal distribution of homogenous, densely packed silicon nitride thin film free of surface cracks.. Atomic Force Microscopy was employed to explore the accurate surface roughness parameters of Silicon nitride thin films. The surface roughness and grain analysis for all samples exhibited a direct relation to each other and have an inverse correlation with the target to substrate spacing. The surface morphology of Si3N4 was analyzed by the following parameters; average roughness, root-mean square roughness, maximum peak to valley height, ten-point average roughness, skewness, and kurtosis of the line. The surface roughness of silicon nitride films has notable significance in the manufacturing of bio-sensor based on silicon nitride waveguides.

The ab-initio calculations have been executed for structural, electronic and optical properties of LiAlTe2, LiGaTe2 and LiInTe2 chalcopyrite structured solids and these calculations are grounded on the principle of density functional theory employed into the full potential augmented plane wave method. The computed lattice constants oscillating from a = 6.257 Å to 6.450 Å and c = 12.044 Å to 12.256 Å for LiXTe2 (X=Al, Ga and In) and also these values consistent with experimentally existed lattice constants. From the study of electronic band-gap, it confirms that these compounds are good semiconductors with direct band-gaps from 2.22 eV, 1.48 eV and 1.61 eV for LiXTe2 (X=Al, Ga and In). The result of optical properties confirms that these chalcopyrite semiconductors can be the fortunate compounds for the photovoltaic applications.

This present work, includes the preparation of rubber batches containing silicone rubber (SIR) (80pphr) and polyurethane (PU) (20pphr) with micro-lead powder in different loading, respectively (0,20.40,60,80,100,150,200,250,300pphr). The mechanical properties measured the device universal tensometer, such as tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity, according standard specified of (ASTM D-412) were followed and the hardness property measured by (Hardness Shore A) was put through its steps according to the standard specification (ASTMD-1415). The results were selected, and the sample (10) consisting of (SIR 80/PU20 and micro-lead 300pphr) was chosen because it is more suitable for the required mechanical properties. The results observed that the ratios of micro-lead loading increased, the tensile and elongation decreased, and the hardness and elastic modulus increased. Rubber batches reinforced with micro-lead were exposed to an infrared (FTIR) test device with the addition of hexane, where there were no changes in the infrared spectrum of the rubber composites (SIR80/PU20/Micro-Pb). Sample No. (10) was shown that the scanning electron microscope (SEM) before and after adding hexane, where it was noted that the image (A) without hexane, the absence of homogeneity of lead. As for image (B) in the presence of hexane, we note the homogeneity of lead and the distribution of lead equally, so that radiation examination were measured the Geiger counter of two sources of radioactive elements were used, the caesium source Cs137 and the cobalt source Co60. The radiation is attenuated through the material, while the thickness of the half (X1/2) gradually contrasts according to the attenuation of the radiation. This work is applied in the applications of shields as a protective suit against harmful radiation.

Metamaterial (MTM) absorbers and their design have been of prime interest in view of their capability to absorb electromagnetic waves of high frequencies. Different types of MTM absorbers have been reported in the last two decades. Keeping this in view an attempt was made to review the progress of MTM absorbers in terms of the theory behind them, designing and construction. This paper reviewed the basic theory and design regulations of a perfect MTM absorber at high, narrow and broad band frequencies. Also we reviewed tunable frequency and coherent absorbers. This exercise was done to focus on recent developments in metamaterial absorbers and present the tested results in a more precise way

Work has been carried out to improve the method for obtaining and further oxidizing Graphene Oxide (GO) to obtain functionalized layers with a large number of active centres. We have determined that with an increase in the amount of H2O2 in the synthesis, it significantly increases the efficiency of the oxidation process and increases the number of functional groups, while the amount of NaNO3 and KMnO4 remains unchanged. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray analysis, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analyses were carried out. Based on the FTIR result, all putative functional groups for a given material (GO) were determined, such as carbonyl, hydroxyl, ketone and epoxy groups which chemically bonded with graphene. SEM and TEM drawings were analysed, which gave a broad understanding of the morphology of GO nanostructures and, based on these drawings, it is fashionable to say that the material is semi-crystalline with the presence of such byproducts as amorphous carbon nanoparticles. Based on the EDX analysis, it was proved that this nano-structured material does not have third-party products.

Nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention of researchers due to their diverse properties in the fields of catalysis, energy devices, wound healing and drug delivery systems . Synthesis of nanoparticles using plants and microbial extract is a green approach due to easy handling, rapidity and cost-effectiveness. This article reported a simple and green method of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) synthesis using Camellia sinensis leaves extract as reducing agent. State-of-the-art techniques were utilized for the characterization and measure the potential applications of ZnO-NPs. FTIR and SEM analysis were performed to confirm the nature of bonding and morphology of NPs. XRD analysis confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure and crystallite size (34 nm) of ZnONPs. EDX analysis was performed to check the purity of NPs. Energy band gap of valence band and conduction band was found 3.278 eV using UV/Visible spectrophotometry. Purified ZnO-NPs were utilized to determine the photocatalytic potential for degradation of hazardous dye (methylene blue) at λmax of 668 nm under irradiation of sunlight. The results indicated ∼92% photodecomposition of dye after 110 min of sunlight irradiation. Moreover, ZnO-NPs also revealed the antibacterial potential, having better inhibition power against gram-negative bacterial strains.

The production of innovative materials with improved features applicable in many domains is a key application of nanotechnology with far-reaching implications for modern society. Nanoparticle-based polymer composites are quickly becoming one of the most promising new materials, with potential uses spanning the chemical, physical, and biological sciences as well as engineering. Application of nanoparticle-based polymer composites for indoor air quality maintenance was discussed, as were their production, hybrid functionalization, and feasible synthesis procedures (filter membrane). The batch foaming procedure has been used to create foam from the thermoplastic polymer polypropylene (PP). Foaming is a blown process, where carbon dioxide is utilised as the blowing agent. Nanoparticles of titanium oxide (nano TiO2) are also used for reinforcement. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilised to investigate the NTPMs' surface morphology, while other physio-chemical characteristics were investigated by means of various analytical methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of water vapours were analysed to get insight into the water vapour adsorption characteristics of the NTPMs. The kinetics of adsorption pointed to a combination of intraparticle diffusion and liquid field driving processes for the transport of water vapours. Because of their high dehumidification effectiveness, synthetic NTPMs have the potential to replace many of the currently used traditional solid desiccant materials

Application of nanoparticle-based polymer composites for indoor air quality maintenance was discussed, as were their production, hybrid functionalization, and feasible synthesis procedures (filter membrane). The batch foaming procedure has been used to create foam from the thermoplastic polymer polypropylene (PP). Foaming is a blown process, where carbon dioxide is utilised as the blowing agent. Nanoparticles of titanium oxide (nano TiO2) are also used for reinforcement. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilised to investigate the NTPMs' surface morphology, while other physio-chemical characteristics were investigated by means of various analytical methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of water vapours were analysed to get insight into the water vapour adsorption characteristics of the NTPMs. The kinetics of adsorption pointed to a combination of intraparticle diffusion and liquid field driving processes for the transport of water vapours. Because of their high dehumidification effectiveness, synthetic NTPMs have the potential to replace many of the currently used traditional solid desiccant materials","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67044124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
