Metal salts of Platinum and Palladium were further reduced to metal nanoparticles in presence of MWNT-COOH under microwave irradiation. These hybrid metal decorated carbon nanostructures were morphologically and functionally well characterized using SEM, EDAX, FTIR, UV-Visible etc., Using Z-scan technique, we carried out nonlinear optical studies on aqueous dispersions (stable) of these metal decorated (Pt/Pd-MWNT-COOH) using a high power Nd:YAG Laser with 532 nm excitation with 10 nanosecond pulse width. These samples exhibited significant nonlinear absorption and scattering. The metal decorated MWNT-COOH (Pt-MWNT-COOH:2 Jcm-2; Pd-MWNT-COOH: 1.7Jcm-2) exhibited enhanced optical limiting which is more than plain MWNT-COOH samples and similar Metal-Graphene hybrid dispersions reported earlier in literature.

The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. In recent years, researchers in the field of nanotechnology are finding that metal nanoparticles have all kinds of previously unexpected benefits.A new branch of nanotechnology is nanobiotechnology. Nanobiotechnology represents an economic alternative for chemical and physical methods of nanoparticles formation. When compare to physical and chemical methods biological methods have emerged as an alternative to the conventional methods for synthesis of NPs. Synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles by biological systems makes nanoparticles more biocompatible and environmentally benign. Many bacterial as well as fungal species have been used for silver nanoparticles synthesis. But most of them have been reported to accumulate silver nanoparticles intracellularly. Intracellular synthesis always takes longer reaction times and also demands subsequent extraction and recovery steps. On the contrary, plant extract mediated synthesis always takes place extracellularly, and the reaction times have also been reported to be very short compared to that of microbial synthesis. In the present study young fresh plant stems were collected and the inner green flesh was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. 20 mL of aqueous extract was added to 20 mL of 1mM silver nitrate solution. The solution was allowed to react at room temperature and incubated in dark condition. After 24hrs the color change was observed and the extract was subjected to UV - Visible studies. Though the plasmon band is broad due to the presence of components in extract which are also being read in the spectrophotometric range, it is observed that the silver surface plasmon resonance (SPR) occurs at 460nm. Here is no change in peak position, suggesting that nucleation of silver nanoparticles starts with initiation of reaction time only, and the size remains unchanged throughout the course of reaction. The antibacterial activity was conducted against E.coli, and Bacillus Species. Bioreduced silver nanoparticles showed considerable growth inhibition of two of the well-known pathogenic bacteria species. Zones of 11 mm and 10 mm were observed for E. coli and Bacillus Species respectively.","PeriodicalId":13708,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Nanomaterials & Emerging Engineering Technologies","volume":"2012 1","pages":"84-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86408052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper various device parameters are discussed which can affect the switching and storing of data in the CNTFET memory cells. Hysteresis was clearly observed in the curve of the drain current versus gate voltage, which makes the CNTFET possible for a nonvolatile memory cell.

The objective of the study is to improve solubility of Rosuvastatin Calcium by development of liquid self micro-emulsifying dosage form development. The solubility of Rosuvastatin Calcium is determined in different oils (Sefsol 228, IAS, Ethyl oleate, Olive oil, castor oil, HCO 40), surfactant ( Tween 20, Tween 80, Cremophore RH 40, Lauroglycol) and co-surfactant ( PEG 400, Propylene glycol, Transcutol P, Lutrol 400). The identification of micro emulsifying region is identified by constructing pseudo ternary phase diagram using water titration method. The optimized formulation contain oil phase as LAS (20 % w/w), Tween 20 (5 % w/w) as surfactant and co-surfactant as lutrol 400 (5 % w/w) containing 100 mg Rosuvastatin Calcium.
