https://journalspub.info/materials/index.php?journal=IJAN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1014
This research presents an overview of the comparison of photoelectron trap by both organic and analytic nanoparticles. The phenomenon of photon absorption by organic matter typically chlorophyll pigment (Thylakoids), Heme, and semiconductor nanoparticles such ZnO, TiO2, -Fe2O3 is the focus of current research. The study presents a way of optimizing photoelectron absorption for the applications in Photodynamic therapy. This phenomenon is studied by determining extinction, absorption and scattering probabilities by using the canonical probability theory and density functional theory. Then the relation between probability density and intensity of photoelectron absorbed by spherical Thylakoids, Hemi and metal oxide nanoparticles is presented. It is shown that the photoelectron absorption process in all chlorophyll, Hemi, stated nanoparticles have relatively closer values. From the study it is inferred that the generation of photoelectron is expected in the visible range of wavelength spectrum. Hence, this study is expected to significantly contribute for the potential application in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and cancer therapy.Gizachew Diga Milki

2024-02-092024-02-099210.37628/ijan.v9i2.1014Nanorobotics: A Review
https://journalspub.info/materials/index.php?journal=IJAN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1019
<p>The field of robotics is expanding quickly and has the potential to change the world in many ways. Robots are now an essential part of our lives, doing everything from boosting production and efficiency to breaking new ground and entertaining us. To fully realize the potential of this fascinating field, robotics development must be carried out responsibly and ethically as we continue to make technological advancements. Nano-robotics is a fast-developing field that has the potential to revolutionize a number of industries and greatly enhance our quality of life. But it's imperative to make sure that these tiny machines are developed and used in an ethical and responsible manner. The future of nano-robotics appears bright, and with the right laws and policies in place, we should anticipate seeing even more ground-breaking uses in the years to come. The use of nanomaterials, sensors, motors, self-assembly, microfluidics, communication, and artificial intelligence is central to the concept of nano-robotics. Together, these ideas make it possible to create, assemble, and operate nanobots, which are machines that can carry out a variety of tasks at the nanoscale. Nano-robotics has countless potential applications, and with ongoing advancements in the field, this is an exciting time for this emerging technology. The field's applications are still quite broad, encompassing areas such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, infrastructure maintenance, and space exploration, among others. As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with nanorobotics, we must also consider the ethical implications of our work and ensure that we are using this technology to benefit all of humanity.</p><p> </p>Kazi Sultanabanu Sayyad Liyakat

2024-02-262024-02-269210.37628/ijan.v9i2.1019Effects of Industrial Waste Filler Content and Compatibilizer on the Performance of Thermoplastic Polymer Composites
https://journalspub.info/materials/index.php?journal=IJAN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1022
In this study, we examine the physico-mechanical characteristics of waste filler-thermoplastic polymer composites in relation to the industrial waste filler mixing ratio and compatibilizer concentrations. Three degrees of coupling agent (Epolene E-43) content and four levels of waste filler to thermoplastic polymer mixing ratios were used in the experiment to examine the physical and mechanical characteristics of the composite. As was to be predicted, composite density grew as waste filler content increased, while melt flow index fell. In comparison to control specimens, the inclusion of waste filler somewhat improved the thickness swelling of composites. As the amount of waste filler in the mixture increased, the tensile characteristics of composites dramatically improved. In particular, the tensile modulus increased as the waste filler content increased. Flexural strength and modulus exhibited patterns that were comparable to those of the tensile characteristics. The addition of waste filler reduces the notched and unnotched Izod impact strength. In comparison to control specimens, the addition of the coupling agent (Epolene E-43) significantly improved the tensile and flexural characteristics (without any coupling agent). The tensile and flexural properties of the composites were effectively improved by epolene E-43, which has a high molecular weight. Overall results suggest that industrial waste could be used as a workable filler for thermoplastic polymer composites to provide reinforcement. This study investigates the physico-mechanical properties of waste filler-thermoplastic polymer composites, focusing on the effects of industrial waste filler ratios and compatibilizer concentrations. Results show that increasing waste filler content enhances composite density but decreases melt flow index. Additionally, the inclusion of waste filler improves thickness swelling and enhances tensile and flexural characteristics.Haydar U Zuman

https://journalspub.info/materials/index.php?journal=IJAN&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1038
A major contribution of nanotechnology has been the rapid and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19. The ability to work with matter at the nanoscale has led to the development of extremely sensitive and precise diagnostic tools, which have aided in the containment and management of the pandemic. Though we continue to face challenges, nanotechnology holds great promise for the medical field and offers hope for the fight against future epidemics. Using fifth generation biosensors for COVID-19 detection is a promising technology. They offer several advantages over traditional diagnostic methods, including portability, sensitivity, and the ability to simultaneously identify multiple biomarkers. Biosensors such as these have the potential to fundamentally alter the way we treat and diagnose diseases like COVID-19 with additional research and development in this field. Because of their rapid and accurate results, fifth-generation biosensors hold great potential for controlling and managing current and future pandemics. Additionally, the field of nanomedicine has demonstrated great promise in the fight against COVID-19. Its unique properties and targeted methodology make it a vital tool in the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of this deadly virus. With further research and development, nanomedicine has the potential to reverse the current pandemic's trajectory and pave the way for more accurate and effective treatments for medical emergencies in the future. The use of nanotechnology in the treatment of COVID-19 has sparked a discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of nanotechnology. The technology's accessibility and safety are concerns despite its potential uses in targeted drug delivery, diagnostics, and vaccine development. Much like any new technology, extensive research and regulation are needed to fully utilize nanotechnology in the ongoing fight against pandemics. By cooperating, scientists, lawmakers, and other interested parties can ensure that COVID-19 is combated with nanotechnology in a morally and responsibly manner.Kazi Sultanabanu Sayyad Liyakat
