Nearly monodisperse poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide‐ co ‐acrylamide) [P(NIPAM‐co‐AAm)] microgels were synthesized using precipitation polymerization in aqueous medium. These used as microreactors to fabricate silver nanoparticles by chemical reduction of ions inside the polymer network. The pure and hybrid characterized Fourier transform infrared UV–visible spectroscopies, dynamic light scattering, X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry transmission...
Abstract Background This paper reflects the empirical findings of an ethnobotanical survey which was undertaken in Patriata (New Murree) district Rawalpindi Pakistan. The aims and objectives study were to document indigenous knowledge plants particularly medicinal, veterinary, fruit, vegetable, fodder, fuel etc. Methods For this purpose, whole area surveyed for documenting folk using a semi-structured questionnaire. A total 93 species belonging 80 genera 56 families found variety uses by...
Mussels have a remarkable ability to bond solid surfaces under water. From microscopic perspective, the first step of this process is adsorption dopa molecules surface. In fact, it catechol part molecule that interacting with These are able make reversible bonds wide range materials, even underwater. Previous experimental and theoretical efforts produced only limited understanding mechanism quantitative details competitive water on hydrophilic silica surfaces. work, we uncover nature...
This paper constitutes an important ethnobiological survey in the context of utilizing biological resources by residents Kala Chitta hills Pothwar region, Pakistan. The fundamental aim this research endeavour was to catalogue and analyse indigenous knowledge native community about plants animals. study is distinctive sense explore both ethnobotanical ethnozoological aspects culture, exhibits novelty, being based on empirical approach Multinomial Logit Specifications (MLS) for examining uses...
Abstract This study describes the adsorption of Cu (II), Co (II) and Ni ions from wastewater on Vigna radiata husk biomass. The ability adsorbent to capture metal has been found be in order (II)>Co depending upon size nature adsorbed. It observed that percentage removal increases with increase dosage, contact time pH medium but up a certain extent. Maximum capacity (q max ) for 11.05, 15.04 19.88 mg/g, respectively, under optimum conditions medium. Langmuir model best fits process R 2...
To address the growing demand for competent photovoltaic materials, electronic structure, and optoelectronic properties of eight molecules X1 (thieno[3,2-b]thiophene), X2 (5,5′-bithiazole), X3 (2,2′-bithiophene), X4 (furan), X5 (1H-pyrrole), X6 (furo[3,2-b]furan), X7 (5-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)oxazole), X8 (3H,3′H-4,4′-biimidazole) designed via π-spacer modification were investigated by extensive density functional theory (DFT) based calculations. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energy (Eg) values these...
Two new lignans trivially named negundins A (1) and B (2), were isolated along with (+)-diasyringaresinol (3), (+)-lyoniresinol (4), vitrofolal E (5) F (6), reported for the first time from this species. The structures of compounds established through spectral studies. Compound 2 showed potent inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase enzyme, while 5 moderate butyryl-cholinesterase.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been investigated for solar-energy-driven photoelectrical water splitting due to its suitable band gap, abundance, cost savings, environmental friendliness, and chemical stability. However, poor conductivity, weak light absorption, large indirect bandgap (3.2 eV) limited application in splitting. In this study, we precisely targeted these limitations using first-principle techniques. TiO2 only absorbs near-ultraviolet radiation; therefore, the substitution (2.1%)...
