Synergistic Effects of Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus | Chapter 7 | Chemistry and Biochemistry: Research Progress Vol. 3

Research in nanomaterials has achieved considerable attention because of their unique properties and numerous applications in different areas. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles has gained significant attention due to their diverse applications. Copper nanoparticles, known for their unique properties, cost-effective production, and wide-ranging uses in catalysis, antimicrobial activity, cooling fluids, and conductive inks, have been a major focus of research. This study compares the stability and antibacterial efficacy of biologically and chemically synthesized copper nanoparticles of two distinct nanometer scales. In chemical synthesis, copper sulfate serves as the precursor, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as the reducing agent, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the capping agent. In biological synthesis, the aqueous root bark extract of Sansevieria trifasciata, valued for its medicinal properties, acts as both the reducing and capping agent. The synthesized Cu-NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to determine their size, structure, and composition. Their antibacterial activity was assessed by evaluating inhibition zones against different microbial strains. It can be concluded that the copper nanoparticles synthesized by bio-reduction technique are well-dispersed, within the nanometer range and it is of greater stability compared to that of the chemically synthesized copper nanoparticles.

A Novel Photosynthesis of Carboxymethyl Starch-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles: Experimental Investigation | Chapter 06 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 4

 For the first time, the water soluble photoinitiator (PI) 4-(trimethyl ammonium methyl) benzophenone chloride was employed to make silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Biosynthesis is another environmentally friendly way to make AgNPs. The PI/UV system, carboxymethyl starch (CMS), silver nitrate, and water were used in a new green synthesis technique. A mechanism was proposed for the reduction of silver ions to AgNPs using the PI/UV system as well as freshly formed aldehydic groups. UV-vis spectra and TEM of AgNPs colloidal solution were used to evaluate the synthesis process. CMS, PI, and AgNO3 concentrations of 10 g/L, 1 g/L, and 1 g/L, respectively; 40°C; 60 min; pH 7; and a material : liquor ratio of 1 : 20 yielded the greatest absorbance. The AgNPs were found to be stable in aqueous solution for three weeks at room temperature (25°C) and exhibit a round shape morphology. The diameters of produced AgNPs ranged from 1 to 21 nm, with the highest counts percent for particles measuring 6–10 and 1–3 nm, respectively.

Assessment of Spectroscopic Characterization of Pure and Malachite Green Doped Polysulfone Samples by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UV- Visible and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Techniques | Chapter 8 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol. 4

 Polymers have strong dielectric properties when subjected to a field-temperature treatment because they may permanently store charge. The electret state and carrier mobility of polymers can be significantly changed by impregnating them with suitable dopants. When a low molecular weight organic component is doped into a polymer, the formation of a charge transfer connection between the acceptor and donor molecules improves the polymer's electrical conductivity. Spectroscopic techniques are used to show how the structure of a pure polymer changes as the impurity ratio rises. In this experiment, the host polymer is polysulfone, while the dopant is malachite Green. In order to prepare samples of pure and malachite green doped Polysulfone in the form of foil, isothermal immersion was used. 4 gm Polysulfone was dissolved in 50 ml Dimethyl farmamide (DMF) solvent for the pure sample, whereas 15, 35, 65, and 110 mg Malachite Green were mixed with 4 gm Polysulfone for the doped sample, accordingly. The structural and optical characterization of these pure and doped samples was investigated using X-Ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD), UV- Visible Spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. Sharp and diffused peaks appear in both pure and doped polysulfone XRD diffractograms, corresponding to the crystalline and amorphous portions of the polymer, respectively. Due to the increase in doping ratio, the maximum intensity for pure samples is 18.380, while the maximum intensity for doped samples is 18.610, 18.890, 20.520, and 21.110, respectively, when studying the change of intensity with two theta angles. This finding supports the enhancement of polysulfone's amorphous character. According to a UV-visible spectroscopy study, the transmittance of pure polysulfone decreases as the ratio of doping increases. In this situation, there is a clear decline in the intensity of transmittance of the pure sample, as well as some additional peaks. This activity shows that Charge Transfer Complexes (CTC) form between the donor and acceptor molecules, signifying that the Polysulfone polymer's electrical properties have improved. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to investigate the micro structural characteristics of clean and doped materials (SEM). The homogeneous dispersion of dopant malachite green and polysulfone is demonstrated in this work. The goal of this research is to see how the charge storage capacity of the polysulphone improves with different Malachite Green doping ratios.

Advanced Studies of Photo Degradation on Ziram Using Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Photocatalyst | Chapter 12 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 7

 Effluent discharge from the processing or formulating industries of pesticides and agricultural runoff are major sources of environmental pesticides, and wastewater from the pesticide industry is a major treatment for the aquatic system. Various photodegradation techniques via Solar, Solar / TiO2, UV and UV / TiO2 processes have carried out photocatalytic degradation of Ziram on wastewater. In order to improve the operating parameters, such as pH , initial concentration, catalyst dosage and contact time, studies have also been carried out. The UV / TiO2 photo catalytic process was found to be more efficient than any other methods studied for Ziram degradation. For initial pH 5, initial Ziram concentration of 20 mg / l and TiO2 dosage of 1 g / l, the maximum degradation of Ziram at 300 minutes was 92.7 percent. For UV / TiO2, the kinetic constant (k) was found to be 9.62 times greater than the solar / TiO2 method and 8.19 times greater than the UV method.
