Bioinspiration for battling bacteria: Nature inspired high aspect ratio nanostructures for new age antibacterial surfaces
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion, fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year. Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ... -
Constraint Effects On Stationary Crack Tip Fields In Ductile Single Crystals
(2011-03-15)In order to understand and predict the fracture behaviour of polycrystalline materials from a fundamental perspective, it is important to first investigate plastic deformation at a crack tip in a ductile single crystal. ... -
Kinetics of Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes, Organics and Polymers using Nanomaterials
The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the application of photocatalysis for the degradation of organics, dyes, polymers, reduction of metal ions, decomposition of NO, etc. In this context, extensive work was ... -
Mechanical and curing behavior of tetra-functional epoxy reinforced with nano-fillers
Synopsis Tetra-functional epoxy resins are used as a matrix for aerospace composites owing to their excellent mechanical, adhesive, corrosion resistance and thermal properties. Although epoxy is a high-performance ... -
Methane Storage In Activated Carbon Nanostructures : A Combined Density Functional And Monte Carlo Study
(2011-08-04)Natural gas is stored as compressed natural gas (CNG) in heavy steel cylinders under pressures of 200-250 atm. However, such a method of storage has certain disadvantages which include multistage compression costs, limited ... -
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based Nanocomposites with Multi-layered Architecture Containing Core-shell Nanomaterials for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding
With the emergence of smart electronic devices, we have witnessed a rapid surge in the growth and subsequent drive-in for the miniaturization of electronic interfaces. Any electronic gadget that transmits, distributes, or ... -
Study Of Friction And Wear Behaviour Of Nano-Embedded Aluminium Alloys
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-22)In general, the bearing alloys have two types of microstructure i.e., either a soft matrix with discrete hard particles or a continuous matrix of the harder metal with small amount of the softer metal finely dispersed in ...
