We have presented a biological and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles from precursor (HAuCl4) using Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. fruit pericarp (soapnut shells). investigate production as function concentration HAuCl4 amount soapnut shells. Average nanoparticle sizes 9, 17, 19 nm were obtained by concentrations 1, 5, 10 mM, respectively, with fixed shells extract. The resulted are highly crystalline face-centered cubic (fcc) structures. FT–IR analysis suggests that...
In order to realize a transition from conventional stretchable electronics, it is necessary make universal circuit board in which passive/active components can be robustly integrated. We developed printed (s-PCB) platform that enables easy and reliable integration of various electronic by utilizing modulus-gradient polymeric substrate, liquid metal amalgam (LMA) traces, Ag nanowire (AgNW) contact pads.
