[ 1 ] - Synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticle anchored Silica-Titania mixed Oxide mesoporous particles: Efficient photocatalyst for discoloration of textile effluent

An efficient photocatalyst consisting of CdS nanoparticle dispersed mesoporous silica-titania was prepared using amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 as template and silica-titania sol–gel precursors. The CdS nanoparticle was incorporated into silica-titania mesoporous nanosturctures by post impregnation method. The synthesized catalyst has been characterized by FTIR, TEM, SEM, and EDAX analysis...

[ 2 ] - Rapid and sensitive electrochemical detection of DNA with Silver nanoparticle dispersed poly (9, 9-dioctylfluorene-ran-phenylene) nanocomposites

In this study a sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of E.coli has been developed using silver nanoparticle (Ag) embedded poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-ran-phenylene) (CFP) nanocomposite as a conductive platform and DNA hybridization technique. The new polymer was synthesized from 9,9-dioctylfluorene and 1,3-dichlorobenzene and biphenyl through Friedel Crafts alkylation reacti...
