ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FINISHING OF COTTON FABRIC VIA STAR-LIKE SILVER MICRO/NANO PARTICLES SYNTHESIZED WITH NEEM/SALEP

Environmentally friendly Finishing of Cotton Fabric via Star-like Silver micro/nano Particles Synthesized with Neem/Salep

In this study, a novel silver solution was prepared by a simple green synthesis method using AgNO3, neem and salep extracts at room temperature.The results of UV-Visible spectrophotometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed the formation of silver particles with a star-like morphology and sharp edges in the solution.In order to achieve an

Attraction of Lutzomyia longipalpis to synthetic sex-aggregation pheromone: Effect of release rate and proximity of adjacent pheromone sources.

In South America, the Protist parasite that Swimwear Bottom causes visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal human disease, is transmitted by blood-feeding female Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.A synthetic copy of the male produced sex-aggregation pheromone offers new opportunities for vector control applications.We have previously shown that t

Estimation of directional single crystal elastic properties from nano-indentation by correlation with EBSD and first-principle calculations

In this study, a two-step optimisation process for the estimation of the single crystal stiffness tensor from the indentation modulus is presented.This was accomplished by using a 2-dimensional data correlation method for nano-indentation, EBSD and ab initio data, as well as EDS for phase separation in a multi-phase material.Here, a single-phase Fe
