In medical facilities it is necessary to equips materials and surfaces with a high level of hygiene using antimicrobial agents to protect them against bacteria and other micro organisms to prevent infections caused by bacteria and contribute significantly to reduce health costs. Benefits of nanoscale coatings in this sector include long lasting antimicrobial effect‚ constant release of the active substance‚ effectiveness against bacteria and other micro-organisms‚ no chemical impurities‚ easy processing

larval stage and after four weeks the larvae perished. To test for toxicity‚ a year-long study was conducted on zebra fish which were fed wsCNP-ingested dead mosquito larvae. No adverse effects were reported. According to the authors‚ carbon nanomaterials do not get absorbed by body tissues and may not possess the threat of entering the food chain. In the US‚ carbon produced from burnt vegetables is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is used in a

Warming and Green House Effect. The absorption of carbon monoxide is done by using cuprous salt and adsorption of hydrocarbons is done by using a complex nanomaterial. i.e.‚ Carbon Monolithic Aero gels. Using cuprous salt for absorption of carbon monoxide is no more an innovative idea. But in today’s world of Nano Technology usage of Aero gels (Nanomaterial) to adsorb Hydrocarbons needs a major concern. So in this paper we highlight the production‚ usage and regeneration of Carbon Monolithic Aero gels.

the effect is concerned generally with change of specific resistance of them due to change of crystal structure ‚ the value depending on the conduction type of material and doping dose [17]. As for SGF of conducting composites based on carbon nanomaterials‚ there many works reporting different value of the factor depending on the type of filler and forming method of the composites. For example composites based on graphene aerogel and polydimethylsiloxane have SGF equal to 61.3 [18]; graphene platelets

Solar Screen Professor Stansfield Writing for engineers sections F 12/10/12 Introduction In the wake of Hurricane sandy and other natural disasters a portable solar charged phone has been in demand. Our product the Solar Screen fills this void and offers a phone that does not need to be charged through the wall. This product creates an easier work environment in which there is no concern of being cut off in the middle of an important phone call as the result of a dead battery. This product

[N2H4 → N2 + 2H2] → [2H2 + O2 → 2H2O] is how Mark Watney‚ in the movie “The Martian”‚ made water on Mars. I think we’re going to have to learn this lesson on Earth too. We have so much water on Earth‚ but most of it is undrinkable. 97% of the Earth’s surface is covered by it‚ yet 96% is saline water. 3.4 million people die every year because of waterborne diseases‚ and this sparked my Mark Watney moment to get my head around compounds‚ water purification‚ bacteriophage MS-2‚ TiO2‚ nano-science‚ and

Abstract: Nanoelectronics refer to the use of nanotechnology on electronic components‚ especially transistors. Although the term nanotechnology is generally defined as utilizing technology less than 100nm in size‚ nanoelectronics often refer to transistor devices that are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. As a result‚ present transistors (such as CMOS90 from TSMC or Pentium 4 Processors from Intel) do not fall under this category
