Summary: Research into the antibacterial properties of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) is gaining traction. CuO NPs produced using a simple precipitation process were studied for structural and antibacterial characteristics. As a precursor, copper (II) acetate was employed, and sodium hydroxide was used as a reducing agent. The crystalline structure of CuO NPs was shown […]

The fluorescent matrix of Tris-(8-Hydroxyquinoline) Aluminium and the optical and electrical properties of semiconducting Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle systems were investigated (Alq3). To better understand these features, we used an aqueous sol-gel approach to make ZnO nanoparticles with particle sizes ranging from 23 nm to 110 nm, annealed them at high temperatures, and made an […]

Assessment of Young’s Modulus of Aluminium, Copper, Iron, Brass and Steel Alloys by Using Double Exposure Holographic Interferometry (Dehi) Technique| Chapter 9 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol.6

In the fields of science and engineering, the Double Exposure Holographic Interferometry (DEHI) technology has a wide range of applications. DEHI can be used to detect minute surface changes in an object over short time periods. This can be used to figure out or evaluate some material’s physical qualities. The DEHI technique is utilised in […]

An Assessment of Sputtered Nitrogen-Doped Nickel Oxide for all-Oxide Transparent Optoelectronic Applications: The Case of Hybrid NiO:N/TiO2 Heterostructure| Chapter 8 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol.6

This manuscript discusses the current situation of organomineral fertiliser production and use, as well as ways for obtaining them from various types of raw materials. Also given are the findings of a study of phosphorus production waste and coal mining waste. Experimental, physico-chemical, and analytical procedures were employed to meet the research objectives: screening, chemical, […]

Radioanalytical Method for the Measurement of Activity of 210Po and 210Pb in Soil and Sediment| Chapter 4 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol.6

The seasonal change of 210Po and 210Pb in the soil and sediment of the Hemavathi River Environment is discussed in this paper. The concentration of 210Po and 210Pb in the samples was evaluated using a conventional radiochemical analytical method during the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. In the monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons, the mean activity concentration […]

Environmentally Benign Un-Catalyzed Esterification of Alcohols under Solvent-Free Condition Using Acetyl Chloride: An Experimental Investigation| Chapter 3 | Recent Trends in Chemical and Material Sciences Vol.6

Under solvent-free and energy-efficient circumstances, a generic and practicable approach for un-catalyzed esterification of alcohols using acetyl chloride is disclosed. Nowadays, catalyst- and solvent-free processes are far more safe, nontoxic, ecologically friendly, and cost-effective. This approach is economical and environmentally friendly due to its high yields, extensive applicability to diverse alcohols, mild reaction conditions, short […]
