Multifaceted properties of TiO₂ nanoparticles synthesized using Mangifera indica and Azadirachta indica plant extracts: antimicrobial, antioxidant, and non-linear optical activity investigation for sustainable agricultural applications

Abstract

The increasing global food scarcity necessitates the development of nanomaterials with low toxicity for use as antimicrobial agents and sensors to mitigate agricultural losses. In this study, we present an...

Dual-Cross-Linked Superparamagnetic Hydrogels with Tailored Viscoelasticity for Soft Robotics

“…34 The dual cross-linking method, incorporating glutaraldehyde addition and FT cycles, enables precise manipulation of the physiochemical attributes of the MagGels, as investigated through various analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). 35 Detailed static and dynamic magneto-rheological measurements were performed to examine the viscoelastic properties of MagGels, comparing the attributes of dual cross- linked MagGels with those prepared conventionally. 36 Additionally, the stability of MagGels was investigated through transient viscosity measurements via gradient cyclic assessment of viscosity.…”
