A facile emulsion-combustion processing of IR reflective, antibacterial and antifungal ceria for surface engineered functional textiles

Enzyme mimetic electrochemical sensor for salivary nitrite detection using copper chlorophyllin and carbon nanotubes-functionalized screen printed electrodes

“…The relative percentage of Cu 2+ and Cu + environment present in the CuCP-modified electrode was calculated from the peak areas ( Q ) and by applying the following mathematical expressions (eqn (1)–(3)). 44 The percentage of Cu 2+ and Cu + in the CuCP-modified electrode was calculated to be 81.28% and 18.72%, respectively, for before electrochemical activation. However, the percentage of Cu +1 environment is increased to 31.26% while the percentage of Cu +2 environment is changed to 69.74% after the stabilization.…”

2‐Hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone [Lawsone] integrated rare‐earth hybrid materials as biocompatible UV/IR filter agents

“…The rare‐earth‐based materials like titanates and phosphates of lanthanum as well as cerium are also proven to have low toxicity and therefore biocompatible. Further these classes of compounds have high chemical stability, very low water solubility, softness, and photostability which promote their usage in various biological as well IR reflective textiles coatings applications 16–18 . Research on UV blocking capabilities of lanthanum phosphate, titanate, and zirconate are not widely explored and also the biological applications of these compounds are less investigated as evident from literature search.…”

“…Further these classes of compounds have high chemical stability, very low water solubility, softness, and photostability which promote their usage in various biological as well IR reflective textiles coatings applications. [16][17][18] Research on UV blocking capabilities of lanthanum phosphate, titanate, and zirconate are not widely explored and also the biological applications of these compounds are less investigated as evident from literature search. Considering the FDA regulations as well as the general criteria for the UV filter agents, the present study pioneered on developing lanthanum phosphate, titanate, and zirconate-based nanohybrids with Lawsone as an organic counterpart.…”
