this paper discusses about preparation of biodegradable polymer /clay nanocomposites based on organically modified montmorillonite clay; i.e. cloisite 10a and biodegradable polymer chitosan by solution mixing technique and their characterization. the nanocomposites were successfully prepared and their structures were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), particle size analyzer (beckm...

Correlative fractography is a new expression proposed here to describe a new method for the association between scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM) for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of fracture surfaces. This article presents a new method involving the fusion of one elevation map obtained by extended depth from focus reconstruction from LM with exactly the s...

Objective: The present report describes the green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Argemone maxicana leaf extract by an eco-friendly approach. Also, the in-vitro cytotoxicity of prepared ZnO NPs against the cardiac cell lines of Sahul India Catla catla fish (SICH) was studied. Methods: ZnO NPs were prepared by using Argemone maxicana leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing...

Originally the syndrome was described in South Africa at 1920, but at present it is endemic in Jamaica, encountered in Afghanistan and India. The syndrome was described under dif‐ ferent names, from Jamaica the disease was described under the term Jamaican veno-occlu‐ sive disease, in India the disease was given the term Indian childhood Cirrhosis (ICC), in Europe HVOD has been called endophleb...

Cathodoluminescence (CL) hyperspectral imaging—the acquisition of a full optical emission spectrum at each pixel of an image—has become firmly established as a measurement mode in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [1]. CL is sensitive to the structural, compositional and electrical properties of a sample, and the inherent multimode nature of SEM makes it possible to combine CL with other techn...

Calcium phosphate precipitation obtained from aqueous solutions at room and body temperature and pH 5.5-7.5 were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), transmission electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Supersaturated solutions of calcium phosphates were prepared by different methods of mixing of the stock soluti...
