Laser micro/nano patterning of hydrophobic surface by contact particle lens array

Direct laser surface micro/nanopatterning by using Contact Particle Lens Array (CPLA) has been widely utilized. The method involves laser scanning of a monolayer of transparent particles arranged on the substrate to be patterned. Despite the different techniques available for CPLA deposition; the particles monolayer can only be formed on hydrophilic surfaces, which restrict the range of substrates that could be patterned by this method. In this study, a technique for patterning of hydrophobic surfaces by using CPLA has been proposed. In the proposed technique, monolayer of CPLA is formed on a hydrophilic substrate and then transported to a hydrophobic substrate by using a flexible sticky plastic. The transported CPLA is then scanned by a laser for patterning the hydrophobic substrate. The plastic pre-selected for this work was transparent to the laser. Experimental investigations were carried out to generate bumps and bowl shaped patterns using transported particles. Features smaller than the diffraction limit have been generated. The optical near field and associated temperatures around the particles were numerically simulated with a coupled electromagnetic and thermal modelling technique.     

Copper (II)-Surfactant Complex and Its Nano Analog as Potential Antitumor Agents

The in vitro anticancer activity of copper cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (Cu-CTAB)-loaded cyclodextrin nanoparticles on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC), colon cancer cells (HCT 116), liver cancer cells (HepG-2), breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and cervix cancer cells (Hela) was investigated using MTT due assay. Cyclodextrin nanoparticles loaded with Cu-CTAB exerted in vitro anticancer activity against the previous human cancer cell lines comparable to the activity of free non-entrapped in nanoparticles macro-particle Cu-CTAB. The nano analog was synthesized by physical loading using grinding with ball mill. The ratio between Cu-CTAB and cyclodextrin oligosaccharide was 1 Cu-CTAB: 3 cyclodextrin. The particle size of the nano derivative was determined using the transmitted electron microscope (TEM).

Investigation of tannery liming waste water using green synthesised iron oxide nano particles

ABSTRACT

The present study aimed that non-toxic, less expensive, easily available, safer to environment and previously unreported Eclipta prostrata leaf extract is used for the green synthesis of iron oxide nano particles. The iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were characterised by UV–visible, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Tannery effluents treated by photodegradation process and the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and sulphide were analysed. The maximum removal efficiency correlated with operating parameters was explained using response surface methodology with Boxmen Beckmen design.     

Three‐Arm Star Homo‐ and Block Co‐Polymers Via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

Star homopolymers of some vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate, n‐butyl methacrylate and styrene (MMA, nBMA, St.) were prepared by using a N,N,N′N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine ligand/CuBr catalytic system via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). A three armed benzene based core was successfully used as initiator. Low polydispersities and regular molecular weight values were obtained in most cases, especially at low conversions. MMA and BMA showed comparable behavior where controlled and true ATRP was observed even at high conversions. However, styrene monomer recorded irregular high polydispersities at high conversions in spite of the relatively low molecular weight values. Some block copolymers were obtained using MMA homopolymer as macroinitiator with the same strategy of ATRP. ¹H‐NMR confirmed the structures of the resulting polymers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) proved the nano‐structure of the star polymers. The thermal behavior of the MMA star homo and copolymers was studied. The effect of the star shape on thermal behavior was very clear with respect to the linear ones.     

A New Nano‐Structured Flame‐Retardant Poly(ethylene terephthalate)

A modified nano‐hydrotalcite was used as inorganic flame‐retardant fillers for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) polymers. A flame‐retardant compound was obtained from layered hydrotalcite (LDH) dispersed in brominated polystyrene (PBS) solution and then solvent evaporation from the dissolved PBS samples. The compound of PBS/LDH was characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and was found to have high aspect ratio LDH dispersed in the PBS matrix. Flame‐retardant PET composite was prepared by melt‐compounding the flame‐retardant compound of PBS/LDH and PET. Improvement in the fire retardancy of the nano‐flame‐retardant PET composite obtained was found by measuring the oxygen index. The nanostructure of flame‐retardant PET composite was chirecterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of flame‐retardant PET composite. The mechanical properties of the flame‐retardant PET nano‐composite were also characterized.     

Study on the Effect of Nano and Active Particles of Alumina on Natural Rubber–Alumina Composites in the Presence of Epoxidized Natural Rubber as Compatibilizer

Natural rubber composites with alumina of different particle sizes (28 nm nano particles, 200 nm active particles and > 1000 nm raw alumina) were prepared by the usual rubber processing technique. Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was used in the composites as compatibilizer. Cure characteristics and mechanical properties of all composites were analyzed. The values of minimum rheometric torque (M_L), maximum rheometric torque (M_H) and torque difference (M_H – M_L) increased. Maximum enhancement was observed for the nano-filled composites. It endorses the view that nano alumina reveals highest interaction with natural rubber in presence of ENR. Scorch time and optimum cure time values for nano-composites were highest among all types of composites. Vulcanization reaction for the sulfur curing system of the composites was found to follow first order rate kinetics. Specific rate constant decreased with decreasing particle size in composites. Crosslink densities of composite-vulcanizates showed increasing trend with decreasing particle size of alumina. Mechanical properties of the composite vulcanizates increased with decreasing particle size of alumina - nano composites exhibiting much higher mechanical strength. Results of oxidative resistance reveal that particle size of alumina in composite vulcanizates has a significant impact on aging behavior.
