Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) have been complementarily employed in order to investigate the structure and dynamics of slide-ring (SR) gels, a class of novel polymer gels having advanced mechanical properties. SR gels consist of long flexible polymer chains and movable cross-links along the polymer chain. It is demonstrated that complementary use is ne...

The present work demonstrated a green approach of synthesis of gold nanoparticles using Eupatorium odoratum leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing agent assisted with microwave irradiation. Effects of various concentrations of leaf extract on the preparation of gold nanoparticles have been investigated and it was monitored by undertaking UV-vis spectroscopic studies. The experimental results ...

We present a light scattering study of aqueous suspensions of microgel particles consisting of poly(N-Isopropyl-Acrylamide) cross-linked gels. The solvent quality for the particles depends on temperature and thus allows tuning of the particle size. The particle synthesis parameters are chosen such that the resulting high surface charge of the particles prevents aggregation even in the maximally...

plant phenolics have high reducing capacity which can be exploited in the synthesis of nanomaterials. in the present study, phytoreductant vanillic acid is used to produce and coat silver nanoparticles. the effects of ag nanoparticles on the unicellular green algae d. salina were then investigated. under optimum  ph and temperature, silver ions were reduced to silver metal by vanillic acid. the...

Nanotechnology is a significant research tool for biological and medical with major advancements achieved from nanoparticle (Np) applications in biosensing biotherapeutics.
