Opto-nanomechanical spectroscopic material characterization.
The non-destructive, simultaneous chemical and physical characterization of materials at the nanoscale is an essential and highly sought-after capability. However, a combination of limitations imposed by Abbe diffraction, diffuse scattering, unknown subsurface, electromagnetic fluctuations and Brownian noise, for example, have made achieving this goal challenging. Here, we report a hybrid appro...
متن کاملPlant cell wall characterization using scanning probe microscopy techniques
Lignocellulosic biomass is today considered a promising renewable resource for bioenergy production. A combined chemical and biological process is currently under consideration for the conversion of polysaccharides from plant cell wall materials, mainly cellulose and hemicelluloses, to simple sugars that can be fermented to biofuels. Native plant cellulose forms nanometer-scale microfibrils tha...
متن کاملInterferometer Controlled Positioning for Nanometrology
We present a system for dimensional nanometrology based on scanning probe microscopy techniques (primarily atomic force microscopy, AFM) for detection of sample profile combined with interferometer controlled positioning. The interferometric setup not only improves resolution of the position control but also ensures direct traceability to the primary etalon of length. The system was developed t...

Wound dressing applications of nanofibers is a progressive filed of research which could be enhanced by using medicinal plant extract to bring some more advantages. Here we optimized the electrospinning method for fabrication of polycaprolactone-gelatin mixed with a medicinal plant extract, calendula offlcinalis. Characterization techniques including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTI...
متن کاملGreen Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles using Garlic skin extract and Its Characterization
Plant-mediated synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is a promising alternative to the traditional method of physical and chemical synthesis. In this paper, we report the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) by a biological method. During the study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by Allium sativum skin (garlic skin) extract. Formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles has ...
