This research is performed to analyze the effect of the high cobalt doping at the lattice sites of barium cations. The magneto-plumbite crystal structure with a small trace of α-Fe₂O₃ is confirmed via the XRD analysis. An increase in the values of crystallite size is observed with the increasing cobalt doping.

The existence of nine Raman active vibrational modes shows the formation of hexagonal structure for the prepared barium hexaferrites.

Therefore, in the present study, a superhydrophobic (SHP) graphene oxide (GO) based coating on carbon steel is developed and this coating is intended to protect the substrate from the aggressive corrosive environment. A composite coating of GO flakes, zirconia nanoparticles (ZrO₂) and silane solution was coated on carbon steel substrates using dip coating and obtained a maximum water contact angle (WCA) of 169 ± 1°. Morphology and composition of SHP composite coating obtained from microscopy and spectroscopy studies were correlated to their non-wetting property. The corrosion protection performance of GO-ZrO₂-silane coated SHP carbon steel was found to be better than the uncoated carbon steel in chloride solution. Bacterial adhesion studies in two different bacterial cultures showed that the total viable count of bacterial cells on GO-ZrO₂-silane coated SHP carbon steel samples was 4 to 5 orders less than that of the uncoated carbon steel samples.

The resultant solidified hydrogel was converted into hydrogel beads. Several analytical approaches were used to thoroughly analyse the hydrogel beads’ structural, physicochemical, and pharmacokinetic characteristics.

The investigation of drug entrapment efficiency revealed that nimesulide, a model drug, was effectively loaded into the hydrogel matrix. Studies on in vitro drug release showed pH-responsive and prolonged release characteristics, suggesting the possibility of specific delivery of drugs to the colon.

The study of the dynamic load of the structures studied shows that the edges of the insulators have a great influence on technical resistance. In addition, the electrical properties and relaxation phenomena are identical. Elliott was the first to introduce the “conductivity spectrum”, which he successfully explained with the “jump correlated barrier” model. These spectra of the material obtained at different temperatures are determined by Bruce’s law (double power of Jonscher). The study of the electrical conductivity in continuous mode reveals the semiconducting (SC) character of the nanoparticles. The conductivity of the SC is activated by a hopping phenomenon of small polarons at high temperature. The contribution of conductive grains and resistive boundary regions to the ZnO/Eu transport phenomena is explained by the Nyquist configuration. From this study, it can be concluded that the jump and relaxation processes are thermally activated.
