Here, the present study deals with the synergistic effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes and polyaniline nanocomposites on the electro-chemical and thermal properties for wide-range of applications. The microstructural, structural, and optical characterizations have been evaluated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The thermal stability of the product was also studied through thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and the room temperature electrical conductivity was also measured. An exceptional enhancement in thermal stability and conductivity has been observed apparently due to interfacial properties of polyaniline (PANI) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Further, in present study we are going to report a comparative analysis of thermal and electrical properties of PANI/MWCNT nanocomposites with different loadings of MWCNTs. The room temperature conductivity as calculated for 1%, 2%, 4% and 8% MWCNT loading is around 2.019, 3.075, 4.48, 8.73 S/cm respectively.

It is claimed to have various efficacy such as anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertension, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, and antioxidant. Other studies mention that G. procumbens possessed high antioxidant compounds and had been used as a natural-based medicinal supplement. However, further studies on optimizing the extraction process of Gynura procumbens in Indonesia have yet to be reported. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize the extraction condition of G. procumbens leaves by maceration with three variables: solvent concentration, extraction time, and the ratio of solid-liquid used. Each of those variables contained three different levels. Determination of total flavonoid and antioxidant activity was measured using aluminium chloride colourimetric assay and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) assay, respectively. In the optimization process, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to explore the main effects and interaction between parameters and their correlations with dependent variables. The results were analyzed using the Box-Behnken method using Minitab software 17. This study shows that the most significant effect of the variable for both flavonoid and antioxidant activity was solvent concentration, with a P<0.05. The results showed that the extraction process to obtain G. procumbens extract with optimal flavonoid content and antioxidant activity (IC50) was predicted at 70% solvent concentration, 1 h maceration time, and a solid-liquid ratio of 1:9.8 w/v, with results of 17.599 mg QE/g extract and 0.211 mg/mL, respectively.

Spirulina has been present in human nutrition since ancient times, but in recent years the interest in it has been particularly increased due to the emergence of numerous alternative methods of nutrition. This study aimed to compare the functional and elemental composition as well as the optical properties of commercial Spirulina products available on the Bulgarian market. For this purpose, fluorescence spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible range, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy were used. The basic components of the analyzed Spirulina samples are proteins (1657 and 1537 cm-1) and carbohydrates (1069 and 1054 cm-1) and no meaningful differences between the IR spectra of the samples. Concentrations of important microelements Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Mn varies with the manufacturer. The highest levels for Mg (6.69 g kg-1) were measured in samples from USA, while the Spirulina fabricated in Bulgaria exhibits the highest contents of Zn (242 mg kg-1) and Cu (25.4 mg kg-1). All samples followed the tendency Mg>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu. Making use of a fiber optic spectrometer the fluorescence spectra of the studied samples of Spirulina platensis for an excitation wavelength of 380 nm were measured. In these spectra we observe three fluorescence maxima: at 465 nm – nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate, 640 nm chlorophyll a, and 736 nm due to similar to chlorophyll pigments. A strong positive correlation between the contents of Zn and Cu on the one side and the second fluorescence peak (λ=640 nm) for excitation wavelength at 380 nm. In contrast, a high negative correlation for Fe and the third fluorescence maximum (λ= 736nm) is observed for all excitation wavelengths. The correlation dependencies were obtained with the least squares method with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.","PeriodicalId":17299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society Section A: Chemistry","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84998365","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}

XRD results of the PbTa2O6 phase confirm the tungsten bronze symmetry and single-phase structure between 0.5 and 10 mol% Nd3+ concentrations. The lead decrease in the structure can be associated with maintaining the charge balance and single phase due to evaporation during sintering. In SEM micrographs, the grains exhibited shapeless morphology, and the grain sizes varied from 0.5 to 7 m. In EDS results, the increase of Ta/Pb ratio in grain surfaces indicated some lead evaporation, as reported in previous studies. The absorption spectrum of PbTa2O6 host peaked around 275-280 nm, and the band gap was found to be 3.7±0.2 eV. The absorptions of Nd3+ doped phophors shifted the high wavelenght or the low band gap, where the band gaps were found between 3.1±0.2 and 3.3±0.2 eV. The PL emissions of the phosphors in near-inrared region were observed with the transitions of 4F3/2→4I9/2 (at 875 nm) and 4F3/2→4I11/2 (at 1060 nm) of Nd3+. The RL emissions or X-ray excited luminescence were monitored with the transitions of 4F3/2→4I9/2 (at 875 nm), 4F3/2→4I11/2 (at 1065 nm) in the infrared region, and the transitions of 2F(2)5/2→4F9/2, 2F(2)5/2→2H(2)11/2, 2F(2)5/2→4G5/2, 2F(2)5/2→4G7/2, 2F(2)5/2→4G9/2 in the visible region corresponding to at around 430, 455, 490, 525, and 570 nm, respectively. PL and RL emissions of the phosphors exhibited the decreasing emission intensity over 5 mol% due to the concentration quenching which may be associated with cross-relaxing mechanism. In the PL and RL spectral profiles, the similarity of splitting levels was attributed to the similarity of the local symmetry of the ligand ions surrounding the Nd3+ ion. The CIE coordinates obtained using RL emissions were found close to the blue region due to visible region transitions.","PeriodicalId":17299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society Section A: Chemistry","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77877907","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}
