Master List

The present invention relates to a process for depositing thin films of carbon nanotubes and their functionalization. More particularly, the present invention provides a process for depositing self-assembled thin films of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by using electrostatic charging technique. The testing of these films has been performed for detection of alcohol and chemical/gas vapours with high sensitivity and high reproducibility. The detections are based on the changes in conductance of the sensors. These developed sensors showed recovery in less than two minutes for alcohol vapours, few hours for ammonia vapours, and a day for nitrogen dioxide vapours. The corona based electrostatic self-assembly (CESA) pattering technique for batch fabrication of the sensors is fast, simple, low-cost and does not require much specialized equipment, and offers many technical advantages such as the capability to deposit on almost any substrate, including plastics, irregularly-shaped and (or) very large substrates, can be performed at room temperature, and self-functionalized for specific molecule detection. All these characteristics make the CESA-CNTs alcohol sensors very appealing for commercial applications.

The present invention provides a sensor for detecting the oxygen leakage in packed items and storage plants. The present invention further provides a process for preparing the sensor by ion-pairing of methylene blue (MB) with dodecyl sulphate (DS) to produce a water insoluble form of dye (solvent soluble and compatible with food items), which can be used to create an UV-activated, oxygen sensitive indicator that can be printed on a variety of different hydrophobic polymers. The sensitizer in the indicator solution is TiO2. The present invention also provides a method of detecting air leakage using the sensor with high sensitivity and high reproducibility. The detections are based both on the changes in color of the sensor as well as resistance of sensor. The developed sensor gives visual response in less than a minute. The indicator sensor is bleached quite rapidly under UV light and recovers their original color when exposed to air. The rate of recovery of original color of these nanotechnology based sensor is proportional, to the ambient level of oxygen.

The present invention relates to the development of a process for functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by metal-phthalocyanines and their use as highly selective and sensitive sensor for detection of hydrogen peroxide in the vapour phase. The invention provides a process in which multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT) are first functionalized using corona electrostatic discharge technique and then a composite consisting of these functionalized CNT’s and metal-Pc is prepared via non-covalent methods like blending technique (ultrasonification and magnetic stirring) resulting in the metal-Pc functionalized CNT’s. These metal-Pcs functionalized CNT’s have been used for detection of H2O2 vapours with very high selectivity and sensitivity. A combination of Cobalt-Pc and Copper-Pc thin film sensors has been found to show opposite conductivities to H2O2 vapours making this paired sensor as a highly reliable method to selectively identify the presence of H2O2 vapours unambiguously. Our developed sensors have resistivity in the kilo-ohm range with response and recovery times of few seconds. This technique for fabrication of sensors is simple, fast, low cost and does not require any expensive or specialized equipment. The thin films can be formed on almost any substrate including glass, plastic and irregularly shaped substrates and is very cost effective. The sensors work at room temperature, little interference from water vapours, show resistivity in the kilo-ohm range making it easier for impedance matching with amplifying circuits and can be used in industrial and other real life applications. These properties make our sensors very attractive for commercial applications for detection of H2O2 vapours in industrial plants for paper and pulp industries, laundry detergents, environmental and health care areas etc. and in the detection of H2O2 based explosive devices.

A novel nitrogen dioxide gas detecting film has been developed. The detecting film is based on light emitting conjugated polymer Poly [2-methoxy-5-(3’,7’ –dimethyloctyloxy) -1,4-phenylenevinylene (MDMO-PPV). It has been demonstrated for the first time that a thin film of MDMO-PPV deposited on glass substrate or filter paper can be used to sense NO2 gas by just change in color at room temperature. It has been observed that the bright orange fluorescence of MDMO-PPV is quenched to yellow in color in the presence of NO2 gas above 150 ppm level in few seconds. The quenching time is proportional to the concentration of the NO2 gas. The quenching of the fluorescence of the detecting film after exposure to NO2 is also studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy.

A conjugate polymer poly [2-methoxy-5-(3’,7’ –dimethyloctyloxy) -1,4-phenylenevinylene (MDMO-PPV) has been found to be useful for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). We have found that the orange fluorescence of MDMO-PPV is immediately quenched when sprayed on TNT at room temperature. It has been shown that the bright orange fluorescence of MDMO-PPV turns brownish black even on slight traces of TNT. The change of color is quite significant and can be easily observed in visible or daylight illumination. The fluorescence quenching of the conjugate polymer in the presence of TNT is also studied by emission and absorption spectroscopy.

The present invention relates to a process and a method for preparation of nanoparticles of curcumin from aqueous solution of commercially available curcumin. The method is simple and does not involve any chemical treatment for preparation of nano-curcumin. The SEM images of the nano-curcumin showed that its particle size is in the range of 80-250 nm. The evaluation of the bio-efficacy of the curcumin nanoparticles in terms of cytoprotective efficiency, maintaining mitochondrial integrity and antimicrobial efficiency and its comparison with the normal curcumin has been described herein. Nano curcumin is better than normal curcumin in terms of cytoprotection and maintains the mitochondrial integrity. It has also proved to be a more effective antimicrobial agent. This indicates that lowering down the particle size from micron to nano range significantly improves the solubility, bioavailabilty and effectiveness of curcumin. The reason behind enhanced activity is that nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio, which makes the particles very reactive or catalytic. They are easier to pass through cell membranes in organisms and get interacted rapidly with biological systems. Therefore nanocurcumin holds a great potential in the treatment of various pathogenic microbial diseases.

The present invention relates to a novel self-sustaining energy generation unit comprising a steam generator and a paper battery. The steam generator comprises water suspended carbon nanoparticles, which show plasmonic heating when excited with focused light of visible spectrum due to which water surrounding nanoparticles get heated up locally, to produce instantaneous steam in non-equilibrium process. Steam thus produced by this plasmonic heating is supplied to humidify carbon-silver nanoparticles based paper battery to light up an LED for approximately 150 hours.

The present invention relates to the process for functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with metal-tetraphenylporphyrins (M-TPP) that has used the material as a highly sensitive sensor for detection of benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) vapors. These nanocomposites were characterized by using FTIR, X-Ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopic techniques which suggest formation of nano-sized clusters of M-TPP around the f-MWNTs surface. The application of these nano composites have been used for the detection of vapors of BTX compounds with very high sensitivity.
