Copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures are of particular interest because of their interesting properties and promising applications in batteries, super capacitors, solar cells, gas sensors, bio sensors, nano fluids and catalysis. In Recent past, more efforts have been received to design materials with different properties which is dependent on morphology.  In this work cupric oxide nano flakes were...

This work reports the development of an electrical and optical biosensing for label-free detection Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) using gold (Au) nanobipyramids (NBPs). AuNBPs were synthesized through a two-step seed-mediated growth process followed by exchange capping agent from surfactant to lipoic acid. Pure monodispersed 70 nm base length obtained deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass subst...

In order to better understand the behavior and governing characteristics of the wetting transparency phenomenon observed in graphene-coated surfaces, molecular dynamics simulations were coupled with a theoretical model. Graphene-coated silicon was selected for this analysis, due to potential applications of hybrid silicon-graphene materials as detectors in aqueous environments. The results indi...

calcium carbonate nano-particles were synthesized by a reverse micro-emulsion method at room temperature with tween® 80 and span® 80 as co-surfactants. the nano-particles synthesized were surface modified by stearic acid. an important operating variable in the span 80-tween 80/toluene/water reverse micro-emulsion system, the ω-value (water/surfactant molar ratio) was investigated. the material ...

Scattering of the terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-antenna is considered. Different electromagnetic models of graphene are discussed and applied to calculate extinction, scattering and absorption cross sections of the nanoantenna. Scattering resonances in the terahertz band are identified as longitudinal Fabry-Perot resonances of surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene ...

In this study, a multi nanosensor was fabricated for the simultaneous detection of carbon dioxide, methane, ethanol, and ammonia gases, and its electrochemical response to various concentrations of these gases were investigated. In order to fabricate this multi nanosensor, in the first phase, the Graphene-Oxide/Polyaniline (GO/PANI) nanocomposite was synthesized. Chemical ...

Introduction: Colon carcinoma is one of the most common form of cancer that affects the health and lives of people. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) has become useful as synergistically therapy with other antitumor agents in a colon cancer therapy. Short half-life, wide distribution and different side effects of 5-Fu limit its medical applicability. In this study, we have investigated the...

1. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is a minor component of lung surfactant which may be able to replace the functionally important phosphatidylglycerol (PG) [Beppu, Clements & Goerke (1983) J. Appl. Physiol. 55, 496-502] without disturbing lung function. The dipalmitoyl species is one of the main species for both PI (14.4%) and PG (16.9%). Besides the C16:0--C16:0 species, the C16:0--C18:0, C16:0--C1...

The scattering of terahertz radiation on a graphene-based nano-patch antenna is numerically analyzed. The extinction cross section of the nano-antenna supported by silicon and silicon dioxide substrates of different thickness are calculated. Scattering resonances in the terahertz band are identified as Fabry–Perot resonances of surface plasmon polaritons supported by the graphene film. A strong...
