However, this approach can be affected by batch-to-batch variability in the harvesting, isolation and storage of specie-specific bacteriophages. The present paper presents the development of synthetic nanostructured carriers that can form complexes with isolated bacteriophage DNA, while ensuring the penetration of the carrier through bacterial wall and membrane. The complexation capability of these poly(epsilon-lysine) dendrons with bacteriophage DNA was tested by mixing the hyperbranched molecules at various charge ratios (132:1 to 0.06:1 of positively charged carriers to negatively charged DNA). These electrostatic complexes were assessed by gel retardation, ethidium bromide displacement assay and transmission electron microscopy. The self-assembly of poly(epsilon-lysine) dendrons with the nucleic acids led to charge ratio-dependent electrostatic complexes. Transfection of both complexed and naked DNA in Proteus mirabilis bacteria demonstrated that the viral DNA maintained its replicative ability with the formation of whole viral particles. Additionally, the dendron’s cytotoxicity was assayed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assays. In both assays, 15% cytotoxicity and even lower (6%) necrotic effects were observed by MTT and LDH respectively. Overall, these findings demonstrate that it is possible to complex bacteriophage DNA with poly(epsilon-lysine) dendrons, of three branching generations (Gen3K), and suggests that Gen3K has the potential to be used as a reliable alternative to antibiotics.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79235209","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}

It has the capability to boost the efficiency of vapour compression refrigeration and air conditioning systems. In heat transfer application, the density of the fluid plays a crucial role in identifying various heat transfer characteristics such as the Reynolds number, Nusselt number, the friction factor and the pressure loss. Compared to thermal conductivity and viscosity, determining the density of nanofluids has received very less attention in research. The liquid and vapour densities of alumina (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles suspended in 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R1234yf) are investigated in this study. The Pak and Cho model was adopted to examine the densities of nano-refrigerants as the volume concentration of particles in the base refrigerant and temperature varies from 1% to 5% and 273 to 323 K respectively. The models are validated using the experimental studies conducted by various researchers on different nano-refrigerants. The analysis results indicated that the liquid and vapour densities of CuO/R1234yf nano-refrigerant are 10.3% and 62.93% greater than that of Al2O3/R1234yf at 5% particle concentration. From the liquid and vapour density point of view, the CuO/R1234yf nano-refrigerant is superior over Al2O3/R1234yf and TiO2/R1234yf. Results also indicated that at 308 K the liquid phase density of CuO added with R1234yf nano-refrigerant is higher by 12.99% and 8.65% than R134a and R141b respectively. Hence CuO/R1234yf significantly enhances the performance of refrigeration systems.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87101190","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}

It is a present need for components used in underwater, aerospace, defence and automotive applications, as parts are subjected to a variety of loading conditions, including tensile, bending and shearing. Carbon fibre reinforced epoxy (C-epoxy) composite is modified by adding epoxy terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (ETBN) liquid rubber and amino-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Af-MWCNTs). With the addition of ETBN, the tensile, flexural and ILSS properties were improved by 38%, 46% and 80%, respectively. The addition of 0.5wt% of Af-MWCNTs improved the tensile and flexural strengths by a maximum of 59% and 61%, respectively. In contrast, the maximum improvement in ILSS of 120% was obtained at 1.0 wt.% of Af-MWCNTs. The unique combination of C-epoxy-ETBN-Af-MWCNTs led to the formation of the serrated surface at the fibre matrix interface, which caused improved energy absorption. The toughening mechanisms which are responsible for the improvement in properties are discussed and the results are validated through finite element analysis (FEA).","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83093155","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}

However, the flow analysis of γ− Al2 O3 nanofluid embedding with the permeable medium affects the behavior of the contributing parameters. The non-dimensional forms of the governing equations designed with the above-mentioned properties are obtained by selecting the appropriate similarity transformation. Furthermore, the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg numerical method is used to solve these sets of formulated problems from case studies. The flow domain’s behavior when several relevant parameters are varied is depicted graphically and briefly described.
