The aggrandised advancement in utility of advanced day-to-day materials and nanomaterials has raised serious concern on their biocompatibility with human other biotic members. In last few decades, understanding toxicity these been given the centre stage research using many vitro vivo models. Zebrafish (Danio rerio), a freshwater fish member minnow family garnered much attention due to its distinct features, which make it an important frequently used animal model various fields embryology...
In a continuation of previous studies, the wetting properties hydrophobic diureapropyltriethoxysilane [bis(aminopropyl)-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (1000)] (PDMSU) sol−gel hybrid, which forms washing-resistant water-repellent finishes on cotton fabrics, were further investigated. The addition 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFOTES) to PDMSU resulted in highly apolar low-energy surface aluminum with γStotal equal 14.5 mJ/m2 and ΔGiwi value −82 mJ/m2. Mixed PFOTES−PDMSU applied...
A key component in the conversion process of concentrated solar power (CSP) into thermal energy is a absorber coating. Many experimental and simulated coatings for various substrates CSP water/steam or molten salt absorbers have been developed. The main challenges today remain selection low-cost effective fabrication method, appropriate industrial production, assessment degradation rate service life these coatings, which affect efficiency plant LCOE. In this article, we review different...
Abstract The abundance of Ca, its low redox potential and high specific capacity make Ca metal batteries an attractive energy storage system for the future. A recent demonstration room temperature calcium plating/stripping opened a new avenue development, but performance cathode materials is lagging far behind. Due to nature divalent cations, conversion coordination electrochemical reactions show better compared insertion. Herein, we demonstrate use anthraquinone‐based polymer as material...

In healthcare facilities, infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) from textile materials are a cause for concern, and nanomaterials one of the solutions; however, their impact on safety biocompatibility with human body must not be neglected. This study aimed to develop novel multilayer coating poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) immobilized ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) make efficient antibacterial biocompatible cotton, polyester, nylon textiles. For this purpose, coated...
A novel flame retardant polyamide 6 (PA6)/bridged 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO)-derivative (PHED) nanocomposite textile filament yarns were developed. The scalable production approach includes in situ water-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of ε -caprolactam the presence PHED followed by melt-spinning and knitted fabrics. specific chemical structure additive enabled its excellent miscibility with molten ε-caprolactam uninterrupted -caprolactam. produced...

Abstract Today, tris‐s‐triazine based graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) is a new research hot topic. It has unique electronic band structure, high physicochemical stability, large surface area, and “earth‐abundant.” These other properties have made it highly researched material especially for visible light photocatalysis photodegradation applications as the starting from which to develop novel electrochemical sensing platforms. In this review, state‐of‐the‐art technologies utilizing...
A novel facile and eco-friendly procedure for fabrication of multifunctional antibacterial ultraviolet (UV) protective cotton surface was presented, including premodification cellulose fibres with a polysiloxane matrix, followed by green in situ biosynthesis silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) the presence sumac leaf extract as reducing stabilising agent. During biosynthesis, face-centred cubic Ag NPs an average size 52–105 nm were generated on fibres. Increasing concentration AgNO3 precursor...
This work presents the novel and entirely green in situ synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) on cotton fabric. Pomegranate peel extract was used as a reducing agent wood ash an alkali source for formation ZnO-NP from acetate. Four different methods, which varied drying between immersion fabric active solutions use padding ultrasonication, were investigated to evaluate most suitable one achieve excellent ultraviolet (UV) protective properties functionalized textile. For comparison,...
The demand for alternative energy sources from non-recyclable waste materials will be a hot research topic in future industries. This interest is primarily due to the ability harness materials, provision of localized power solutions, and promotion efficient conversation. In this respect, Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) represent new possessing unique qualities many applications. MFC generates by utilising exoelectrogens forming biofilm on surface anode. Since MFC, wastewater converted into...
