Nano metal oxides show effective antibacterial activity and are non-toxic compared to organic anti-microbes because of their high surface area to volume ratio. Nano ZnO is one of the most emerging nano metal oxides that has been used in various applications such as fire retard, anti-microbe, anti-wrinkle, etc. Nano zinc oxide was synthesized by the wet chemical process using zinc nitrate hexahydrate as a precursor. The synthesized nano ZnO powder was subjected to characterization to know the morphology and physical properties. FTIR analysis was employed for the identification of functional group, X-ray diffraction is to identify the crystalline structure, SEM-EDX analysis is employed to determine the morphological structure and size of the synthesized nanoparticles and elemental confirmation, and TEM is used to determine the particle size and shape of synthesized nanoparticles. The synthesized nano ZnO is screened for its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis by disc diffusion method.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140523995","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}

Morphological and elemental analysis of the samples were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray diffraction and micro-raman spectroscopy while for optical characterization UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra were employed. Results of all samples indicated crystallite growth in a tetragonal structure with the variation in crystallite size in the range 9 nm to 12.6 nm with increase in the concentration of dopant in TiO2. Diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) analysis indicated that the band gap of all doped TiO2 nanoparticles is lesser than that of the pure TiO2 whereas 4C-TiO2 showed smallest band gap (2.98 eV). The maximum photocatalytic activity was observed with 4C-TiO2 among all the samples.","PeriodicalId":16984,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140523780","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}

The objective of the paper is to present a comprehensive analysis of passive, semiactive, and active suspension systems. The fuzzy logic controller is used to present the active suspension system. The characteristic of the shock absorber (damper) is non-linear and hysteresis in nature. Hence, a Magneto-rheological (MR) damper-based Bouc-Wen model is utilized to present the semiactive suspension. The comparative analysis of vehicle suspension characteristics has been carried out by using a bump road profile. The modeling of the Bouc-Wen model and quarter car system is carried out in the Simulink environment.

Several experimental runs were conducted to assess the impact of particle size and concentration on both physical properties (density, corrosion, and thermal conductivity) and mechanical properties (hardness, yield strength, impact energy, and modulus of elasticity). The findings revealed significant enhancements in hardness (21 %), yield strength (61 %), modulus of elasticity (43 %), and thermal conductivity (34 %). Conversely, a reduction of 62 % in impact strength and 8 % in density was observed. The corrosion rate displayed an increase from 0 to 16.67 mpy. Analysis using XRD and XRF techniques identified CaO and Al2O3 as the primary constituents of the eggshell. Optical micrographs consistently showed cored (segregated) dendritic structures typical of castings cooled under normal conditions in the Al-Si-Mg composite. SEM micrographs, EDS spectra, and area analyses confirmed a uniform distribution of Calcined Eggshell Particles (CEP) within the composite films.
