It could be induced by the high intake of sugar in diets, or by genetic background, or both. The antioxidant, which plays a role in neutralising free radicals, is crucial as the free radical could increase the chances of getting diabetes through several pathways. Injection of insulin and anti-diabetic drugs are common approaches to treating diabetes, but unfortunately, many side effects have been reported. Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticle, which is one of the applications of nanotechnology, could be a promising method in combating diabetes as it is biocompatible, less toxic, and has large surface to volume ratio. In this study, green synthesis and characterization of Cr 2 O 3 NPs were carried out. The Cr 2 O 3 NPs were shown to be spherical in shape, with an average size that falls within 100 nm. The EDX spectrum indicated that only chromium (Cr) and oxygen (O) were present in the sample. Other characterization techniques such as FTIR and UV-VIS spectroscopy were conducted. For ABTS and DPPH assays, Cr 2 O 3 NPs exhibited highest free radical scavenging properties at 74.57% and 84.12% at 30 minutes and 60 minutes at the concentrations of 5 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL, respectively. Lastly, Cr 2 O 3 NPs showed 95.28 % at the concentration of 0.25 mg/mL in α-amylase inhibition assay.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135299997","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}

CNTs have high tensile strength and modulus, along with excellent electrical conductivity. These features make them ideal for construction materials. Using CNTs in cement-based composites can improve the durability and sustainability of construction materials and provide new opportunities for advanced applications in the construction industry. The addition of CNTs to cement-based materials can improve mechanical performance, improve fire resistance and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Thin films of Y3+:Ce2S3 NPs achieved on ITO (indium tin oxide) substrate. XRD (X-ray diffraction) patterns were used to estimate the size of the NPS, morphology index, texture coefficient, and lattice constants. The crystallite size was found to be in the range of 18-34 nm. UV-visible spectral studies were carried out in order to understand optical absorptivity, and optical band (Eg) of the as-synthesized nanostructures (NS). It has been observed that the red shift in the optical absorptivity and Eg value varies between 3.45 eV to 2.59 eV. Morphology and the presence of Y+3 were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray studies (EDX). However, agglomerated spherical-shaped NPs and homogeneous dispersion of Y3+ were observed in EDX analysis.

The Soxhlet method extracted alkaloid compounds from the plant Catharanthus roseus and converted them to the nanoscale. Chitosan polymer was used as a linking material and converted to Chitosan nanoparticles using Sodium TriPolyPhosphate (STPP). The extracted alkaloids were linked with Chitosan nanoparticles CSNPs by maleic anhydride to get the final product (CSNPs- Linker- alkaloids). The synthesized (CSNPs- Linker- alkaloids) was characterized using SEM spectroscopy UV–Vis., Zeta Potential, and HPLC High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis shows that the Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) have small dimensions with regular spherical and nanotube shapes of a diameter range of (49 - 70) nm. The final product (CSNPs- Linker- alkaloids) has two shapes (spherical particles and tubes) in nano dimensions and is close to each other compared to normal Chitosan. The absorption peaks for Chitosan (CS), Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs), Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs), and maleic anhydride revealed that converting Chitosan to Chitosan nanoparticles and mixing it with the plant extract, led to an increase in the absorption value and wavelength range. Also, the appearance of two peaks at 222 nm and 402 nm nano instead of the peak of Chitosan at 289.9 nm. Zeta Potential results of CSNPs- Linker- alkaloids showed that the extract of the nano-alkaloids bound to chitosan nanoparticles carries a positive charge of 54.4 mV. This surface charge is essential in maintaining the colloidal solution's stability in its natural form without changing. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used to estimate qualitative and quantitative plants extracted from Catharanthus roseus. Quantitative HPLC results show that Catharanthus roseus contains a good and acceptable concentration of Vinblastine, Vincristine, Vinorelbine, Vincamine, and Vintafolide (66.75, 242.91, 0.7, 83.77, 42.34) ppm respectively.

The combination of a metal and a semiconductor allows to the separation of hot electrons and holes to improve photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, Au nanoparticles were integrated with semiconductor TiO2 nanoparticles of different sizes to improve the photocatalytic activity. Various techniques have been developed to study the mechanism of catalytic activity, the significance of band bending in the space-charge region within metal–semiconductor nanocomposites, and the built-in electric field. The results provide theoretical and experimental evidence for the design of a high-performance surface plasmon resonance (SPR) photocatalyst. To reveal the interface band structure, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was employed to analyze the band structure of the TiO2–metal composites. This approach was based on the electrochemical Stark effect and a molecular probe strategy, combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and other techniques at the molecular level. The results demonstrated that charge transfer occurred spontaneously between the Au nanoparticles and TiO2, and that the TiO2–metal interface constitutes a Schottky barrier. Moreover, the size of the TiO2 nanoparticles affects the degree of band bending. Optimal state matching was achieved with TiO2 (60 nm)–Au, improving the photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite. The photocatalytic coupling reaction of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) acted as a probe to study the catalytic performance of TiO2–metal nanocomposites. The results revealed that the introduction of TiO2 improves the SPR catalytic activity of Au, mainly through the efficient separation of electrons and holes at the TiO2–metal interface.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82849613","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}

This new material was prepared by the sol-gel method using poly (vinyl alcohol) powder with Tetraethyl Orthosilicate (TEOS) as a precursor source of silica. TEOS was hydrolyzed and condensed in water and ethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) used as a catalyst. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), water absorption, water contact angle, ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV-VIS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the hybrid films obtained. The PVA/SiO2/Nano-TiO2 films were successfully synthesized. Owing to the FT-IR Analysis, the chemical bonds have clearly shown that the PVA backbone is linked to the (SiO2-TiO2) network. UV-VIS tests indicated that the hybrid films' UV shielding properties were drastically enhanced as a result of the addition of TiO2. According to the TGA tests, the hybrid films are more heat tolerant than neat PVA films. The water contact angle results revealed that TiO2 nanoparticles used as a doping compound possess an important influence on the hydrophilicity of PVA/SiO2 as thin films. The film's water resistance has also been enhanced.","PeriodicalId":18861,"journal":{"name":"Nano Hybrids and Composites","volume":"18 1","pages":"63 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90077268","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}
