Technological development is leading to an exponential growth in the implementation of sensors and actuators where the concern about environmental problems is also focusing on electronic waste (e-waste), which is composed of hazardous materials, corresponding to a large part of urban waste, and has a strong environmental impact. Therefore, more environmentally frie...
Continue readingLuminescent lanthanide coordination polymer crystals (LCPCs) represent an area of growing interest in materials chemistry owing to their unique and tailorable functional properties. The LCPCs provide a high level of structural tunability, including size- and morphology-dependent properties; therefore, they are promising materials for next-generation phosphors in a ...
Continue readingThe photoinduced healing of organic–inorganic hybrids, originating from spatiotemporal (cross-linked and non-cross-linked) control of the physical properties by reversible photodimerization of anthracene units covalently linked to silsesquioxane nanoparticles (SQ-NPs), was explored. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (365 nm) of multifunctional SQ-NPs, with a 9-ant...
Continue readingThis work aims to develop a multifunctional PMMA/CoFe2O4 polymeric film of low loss dielectric constant, high magnetic properties, and perceptible terahertz shielding effectiveness. Pure cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe2O4 MNPs) were prepared by a facile-modified solution deposition method. Then, the nanoparticles were loaded to poly (methyl methacryla...
Continue readingTwo novel thiophene-containing bis-chalcone-based polymers poly [(1E,4E)-1,5-Di-2-thienylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one] (PTCA) and poly[(1E,4E)-2,4-dimethyl-1,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one] (PTCM) were designed and synthesized by FeCl3 mediated oxidative coupling polymerization reaction. The formation of polymers was confirmed by FT-IR and UV-DRS analysis, and the...
Continue readingA multi-component hydrogel was developed using bacterial cellulose, alginate, and gelatin with the aid of glycerol as trihydric alcohol which participates in re-distribution of hydrogen bonds in the test system. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA as instrumental techniques were used to structurally characterize the physical/chemical properties of the formed composite hyd...
Continue readingHigh-efficiency narrowband emission is always in the central role of organic optoelectronic display applications. However, the development of organic afterglow materials with sufficient color purity and high quantum efficiency for hyperafterglow is still great challenging due to the large structural relaxation and severe non-radiative decay of triplet excitons. H...
Continue readingNature’s blueprint provides the fundamental principles for expanding the use of abundant metals in catalysis; however, mimicking both the structure and function of copper enzymes simultaneously in one artificial system for selective C–H bond oxidation faces marked challenges. Herein, we report a new approach to the assembly of artificial monooxygenases ...

Continue readingThe study describes the hybridization of epoxy/flax-cotton (EP/FF) composites containing ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with micrometric expanded vermiculite (VMT) (1–10 wt%). The efficiency of hybridization of flame retarded epoxy/flax-cotton composites was assessed by performing static tensile and flexural strength evaluation, supplemented by impact strength ...
Continue readingThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether calcium carbide can effectively develop the strength of a slag-metakaolin geopolymer matrix. For all mixes, a solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate was used as a liquid alkali activator. CaC2 was added in ratios of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% by weight. Compressive strength shrinkage and thermal resi...
Continue readingThis work suggests the preparation of antiviral nonwoven textile to be used in the medical sectors, namely, surgical gowns, bed sheets, and face masks. This was achieved by the preparation of nanofibrous mats (NFM), of different polymers with potential antiviral characters, on nonwoven polypropylene (PP) fabric. NFMs were prepared by electro-spinning of different p...
Continue readingThis study deal with introducing a novel biocompatible porous nanomaterial for anticancer drug delivery. For this purpose, a porous covalent triazine framework (CTF) was prepared by a solvothermal reaction. The structure and morphology characterization of the synthesized CTF was done through different techniques. Imatinib (IMA) were loaded thoroughly into the CTF...
Continue readingThere are extensive reports on bathochromic emissive material associated with non-covalent interaction but the reports on emissive material with covalent crosslinked approach is limited. Therefore, we highlight unique method for synthesis of crosslinked polymeric materials formed via thermal Click reaction where the static aggregate of naphthalene (Np) in Polym-N...
Continue readingPolyethylene Glycol (PEG)-based flexible phase change materials have broad and practical application value in thermal management of flexible electronic devices. Considering the typical application cases and safety of phase change materials (PCMs), in this work, we grafted molecular nanoparticles, POSS, with both hydrophobic and flame retardant functions to the surf...
