Salinity detection plays a vital role in environmental monitoring, the food industry, and healthcare. Traditional methods such as conductivity meters or titration often involve bulky equipment, high costs, and limited sensitivity, making them less suitable for compact or cost-effective applications. This project focuses on the development of a zinc oxide (ZnO) coated tapered D-shape Plastic...
Fe-Pt nanoparticles were synthesised from Fe-Pt alloy electrodes using pulsed plasma in ethanol. As synthesized A1 and annealed L10 type FePt nanoparticles were studied by XRD, HR-TEM analysis and VS-Magnetometer. VSM indicated strong ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature.
In recent years, the use of naturally derived bioactive compounds as adjunct therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases has received increasing attention in the medical and pharmaceutical sciences. Curcumin, as demonstrated in numerous studies, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antiphrastic activities, and has proven beneficial in the management of...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are among the most promising low-cost alternatives to silicon-based solar cells, offering substantial power conversion efficiency due to their compact size, ease of preparation, and high resistance and sensitivity to weather changes. Recent technological advancements have shifted toward flexible, versatile, and portable electronics, as well as simpler device...
The synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts is a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method. Medicinal plants have long been valued for their therapeutic properties, and their use continues to increase today. Accordingly, extensive research is being conducted to revisit and revitalize the applications of these natural, non-chemical remedies, with modern technologies...
The development of conductive and mechanically robust nanofibers remains a significant challenge for advanced applications in sensors, energy devices, and flexible electronics. This study addresses the need for enhanced nanofiber performance by fabricating carbon-based nanofibers reinforced with carbon fillers through an optimized electrospinning process. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (0.2–1.0 g)...
