Aerogels for various applications

Aerogels for various applications

Aerogels are solid colloidal or polymeric networks that are generally ultra-light weight with open porosities. Aerogels are prepared by the drying of the wet gels in which the liquid inside the pores of the network of the wet gel is replaced by air. Aerogels are highly porous (∼99.8% porosity), low thermal conductivity, extremely low density, low dielectric constant, as well […]

Biomaterials for Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD) towards Cancer Cells

Biomaterials for Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD) towards Cancer Cells

Nanotechnology has been extensively investigated and exploited for cancer therapy possibly due to the advent of new findings and creative treatments with new materials.  Nowadays, nanoparticle mediated drug delivery has resulted in increasing the payload and specificity of anticancer agents, thereby reducing their adverse effects. Polymeric nanocarriers capped metallic nanoparticles, quantum dots are widely used […]

High Performance Humidity and Toxic Gas Sensor

High Performance Humidity and Toxic Gas Sensor

There are various kinds of natural, chemical, and artificial species available in our surrounding environment, where some of them are essential while others are more harmful or less. The necessary gases/species like oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2) and humidity should be maintained sufficiently in the global atmosphere while excess emission of hazardous or toxic gases can […]
