This powder was prepared from thermal power plant waste known as coal fly ash. 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) was covalently interacted with coal fly ash (CFA/APTMS) and curcumin (CUR) was encapsulated onto CFA/APTMS to give a novel and eco-friendly CFA/APTMS/CUR nanocomposite for LFPs detection with the powder dusting method. Several instrumental techniques including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy (FL), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize this nanocomposite. The CFA/APTMS/CUR nanocomposite was applied as a forensic powder for the development of latent fingerprint (LFPs) images on various porous and non-porous substrates. Level 2 (island, origination, bifurcation, termination, fork, dot, and bridge) and Level 3 (sweat pores and shape of triangles, round, and irregular) were the features of the LFP images. Under visible light conditions, the aging LFPs images were clearly detected on an aluminum foil surface using the nanocomposite powder, which had good sensitivity and minimal background interference. Additionally, LFPs images were developed using CFA/APTMS/CUR nanocomposite on leather substrates for belts and shoes in order to confirm the benefits of the nanocomposite's high sensitivity. This nanocomposite improved LFPs images with unique patterns and showed excellent performance on a variety of surfaces for the development of LFPs. These findings therefore proved that the powdered CFA/APTMS/CUR nanocomposite can be effectively utilized for the development of LFPs images at important crime scenes and for the biometric identification of criminal suspects through fingerprint comparison.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52629,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Trends","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100427"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142652923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work systematically analyzes the thermal transport properties of these GNCs and compares them to conventional GNRs. Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) simulations were employed to evaluate the lattice thermal conductivity of the material, and a marked reduction of thermal conductivity exceeding 74 % was observed in the proposed structures. Furthermore, it is revealed that the thermal conductivity of these structures can be further tailored by manipulating their physical geometry, focusing on the length and the constriction dimensions. Additionally, superlattice counterparts of the GNCs composed of graphene and h-BN are explored in this study. Subsequently, an 88 % reduction of lattice thermal conductivity is observed in the superlattice counterparts of GNCs compared to GNRs.
