1. DEVELOPMENTAND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIOCOMPOSITES FROM POLYLACTIC ACID AND GROUNDNUT SHELL ASH NANOPARTICLES
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Nanocomposite is a class of composites in which the dimensions of the reinforcing particles are in the order of 1-100 nanometers. Because of this nanometer size characteristic, nanocomposites possess superior properties to the conventional composite...
2. ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF CRUDE Curcuma longa EXTRACT MEDIATED SILVER NANO PARTICLES AGAINST ISOLATES FROM DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH FOOT INFECTIONS
ABSTRACT Curcuma longa are traditionally used for the treatment of ulcers, hepatic disorder, wound healing and boost glucose control. This study assessed the phytochemical compositions (quantitative and qualitative), antibacterial activities of C. longa crude extracts, synthesis and characterisat...
3. ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF DOPED AND UNDOPED PLANTBASED SYNTHESIZED ZINC OXIDE AND SILVER NANOPARTIC
ABSTRACT
The process for the development of a reliable and ecofriendly metallic nanoparticle (NP) is an important step in biomedical application of nano technology. Zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONps) and silver nanoparticle (AgNps) is gaining attention in nanobiomedical due to their bioco...
4. DEVELOPMENT OF BIOSURFACTANTS-IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLESBIOCHAR FORMULATION FOR REMEDIATION OF CRUDE OIL CONTAMINATED SOIL
ABSTRACT
Biosurfactant-mediated degradation of contaminants is practical and safe environmental remediation agent. In addition, iron oxide nanoparticles and biochar are bioremediation agents with great potentials due to their strong adsorption capacity, microbial growth enhancement and...
5. EFFECT OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SORGHUM HUSK ASH AND CALCIUM CARBIDE WASTE BINDER BASED MORTAR
ABSTRACT
Research trends in the construction industry is toward the application of nano materials in mortar/concrete which could act as set accelerator due to the ultrafine nature of silica nano_particles (SNPs). The study is aimed at investigating the effect of SNPs on the performance...
6. STUDY OF PHOTOCATALYTIC AND ADSORTIVE BEHAVIOUR OF PURE ZIRCONIUM OXIDE AND CARBON-SULPHUR CO-DOPED ZIRCONIUM OXIDE NANOCOMPOSITES FOR PURIFICATION OF DYE WASTEWATER
ABSTRACT
In this work, ZrO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by green method using Plumeria acuminata leaf extract via the variation of pH. Subsequently, carbon and sulphur were incorporated onto the lattice layer of the prepared ZrO2 nanoparticles by wet impregnation method. The prepared...
