A Review on Nano-Vibratory Beam Gyroscope and Its Concept

Varun Aggarwal* Department of Mechanical, NIT, Rourkela, Odisha, India

ABSTRACT

This paper exhibits the displaying and investigative recreation undertaking of a

nanocantilever bar whirligig. Smaller scale/nanowhirligig as a successful rate estimation

sensor is of extraordinary significance in a few cutting edge types of gear including air ships,

satellites and even in little cameras. A few sorts of such whirligigs are being used and

different research recreations were performed throughout the most recent one decade.

Contrasted with tuning fork and ring sort, the pillar sort whirligigs are moderately simple to

utilize and the coupled elements can be determined helpfully. Much the same as, a resonator,

the initial step is to know the static draw in conduct relating to a given geometry. At the point

when the time facilitate is truant, it is alluded to as static issue. Static haul in examination is

done by considering the intermolecular and electrostatic strengths. Show results are

delineated as charts.

Keywords: coupled dynamic equations, nanobeam gyroscope, static pull behavior

INTRODUCTION

Gyrator is a precise rate sensor having

wide application in the field of car,

military administrations, aviation and

shopper gadgets enterprises. Today, silicon

miniaturized scale machined vibratory

gyrators have capacity to work in low

recurrence run however they experience

the ill effects of issues like low data

transmission and predisposition soundness.

Nanobar vibratory gyrator is more precise

than optical and mechanical sorts.

Nanopillar vibratory whirligig has

generally little size, light weight, low

power utilization and minimal effort.

Because of their points of interest, for

example, straightforwardness and simple

to create from miniaturized scale

apparatus, a few late works concentrated

on bar sort gyrators relating their

displaying and detecting issues. Katz et al.

have demonstrated that the warm

commotion is lower for long vibrating

shaft whirligig.[1]

Jiashi et al. studied the

flexural vibration of a beam which is

rotating about its axis and having surface-

bonded piezoelectric films.[2]

Yu et al.

constructed thin and short cantilevers

having high resonance frequency and low

force constant.[3]

Seok et al. performed the

sensitivity and bandwidth analysis for an

angular rate sensor vibratory beam having

square cross-section.[4]

Esmaeili et al.

represented performance evaluation and

dynamic modeling under general support

motion of a vibrating beam

microgyroscope.[5]

Bhadbhade et al.

showed analysis of a vibratory beam

gyroscope having cantilever beam with

end tip-mass possessing torsional-flexural

vibration mode.[6]

Asokanthan and Cho

studied the dynamic stability under rate

fluctuations of vibratory beam

gyroscope.[7]

Feil et al. presented an

adaptive control algorithm for Z-axis

gyroscope sensor.[8]

Ghommem et al.

developed the detailed modeling and

performance analysis of micro beam

Nanoparticles to Control Stranded Packing of DNAs

P.V. Komarov* Faculty of Chemistry, Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia

ABSTRACT

We report here on new optic and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements

concerning the formation of the dispersions from double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules,

doped with negatively charged gold nanoparticles (nano-Au). The nano-Au fixation nearby

the surfaces of linear ds DNA in solution of high ionic strength (0.3 M NaCl) and subsequent

phase exclusion of (ds DNA-nano-Au) complexes from solution containing poly(ethylene

glycol) results in decrease in the amplitude of abnormal negative band in the circular

dichroism spectra of the formed cholesteric liquid-crystalline dispersions (CLCD). Besides,

doping of linear ds DNA with nano-Au and phase exclusion of the formed (ds DNA-nano-Au)

complexes does not accompanied by alteration in the standard structural parameters

obtained from SAXS data which reflect local ordering of ds DNA molecules, but results in the

decrease in the amplitude of the characteristic Bragg maximum. Our experimental data,

supplemented by a simple model numeric computations of screened (in the water-salt solution

of high ionic strength) electrostatic energy for ds DNA molecules and negatively charged but

polarizable nano-Au, suggest that doping of ds DNA with negative charged nano-Au results

in an appearance of a population of "modified" by nano-Au ds DNA molecules. These

molecules, in contrast to the free ds DNA molecules, lose an ability to form spatially twisted

structure at phase exclusion and instead of ordered spatial structure of ds DNA CLCD only

random disordered aggregates are obtained.

Keywords: circular dichroism, liquid-crystalline dispersions, negatively charged gold

nanoparticles, phase exclusion of linear DNA, small-angle X-ray scattering

INTRODUCTION

During the last few years double-stranded

(ds) DNA spatially twisted (cholesteric)

liquid-crystalline dispersions (CLCD)

doped with metallic nanoparticles (such as

gold nanoparticles (nano-Au) or cobalt

ferrite nanoparticles) have attracted a lot of

experimental and theoretical attention

motivated by their potential applications

and nontrivial biological consequences [1-

6]. It is well established that the

physicochemical properties of ds DNA

CLCD reflect some properties of these

macromolecules in biological objects such

as chromosomes of primitive organisms

(for instance, the chromosomes of the

Dinoflagellate) and DNA-containing

viruses [7, 8]. Hence, doping ds DNA

CLCDs with nano-Au is of interest to both

biologists and researchers in the area of

nanotechnology. Indeed, a study of the

effect of nano-Au on the properties of

DNA CLCD may be useful for

establishing the reasons for the

genotoxicity of nano-Au [9–11].

Nanotechnologically, the treatment of

DNA liquid-crystalline dispersions by

nano-Au may lead to the formation of new

materials with unique properties [12].

The properties of linear single-stranded

and ds DNA molecules containing of

Polymeric and Modified Nanofibers and Its Application

Monika Sharma*, Varun Bansal Chemistry Department, Jaypee Institute of Technology, Noida, India

ABSTRACT

Polymeric nano-fiber based materials and their application is one of the research areas in

materials science and nanotechnology. Nano-fibrous materials are receiving extensive

research interest for applications in diverse fields as biosensors, optical and chemical

sensors, stimuli-responsive or "smart" materials, bioreactors, drug delivery carriers,

antibacterial materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, clean energy, electronic and semi-

conductive materials, reinforced nano-composites, affinity membranes, etc. This is because of

their important and interesting characteristics such as a very high surface area to volume

ratio, tunable void volume fraction and inter-fiber space, flexibility in surface functionalities,

good mechanical performance and malleability to construct a wide variety of nano-fiber

based materials including beaded, ribbon, porous, and core-shell nano-fibers. Electro-

spinning or electro-static spinning is the most considered technique for fabrication of nano-

fibers. Synthetic and biopolymers, polymer blends, melts, nano-particle or drug-impregnated

polymers, and ceramic precursors have been successfully used to produce electro-spun nano-

fibers. Because the surface chemical and physical properties of the nano-fibers play an

important role for a specific application, various surface modification techniques have been

applied. A variety of bioactive molecules including anti-cancer drugs, enzymes and

polysaccharides have been physically immobilized on the surface of nano-fibers.

Keywords: nanofiber, polymer, surface

INTRODUCTION

Fiber materials with diameters within the

nanometer range when compared with

micro-scale materials have several

important characteristics such as a very

high surface area to volume ratio, which

for a nano-fiber can be as large as 103

times that of a microfiber, tunable void

volume fraction or "porosity", inter-fiber

space or "pore size" ranging from ten

nanometers to several micrometers,

flexibility in surface functionalities, good

mechanical performance and malleability

to construct a wide variety of fiber sizes,

shapes as well as the formation of different

tailored membranes [1]. Polymer nano-

fibers have been fabricated using physical,

chemical, thermal and electrostatic

techniques such as drawing [2], template

synthesis [3], liquid-liquid phase

separation [4], self-assembly [5], vapor-

phase polymerization [6], and electro-

spinning or electrostatic spinning [1].

This last technique is the most popular and

preferred to use for preparation of

polymeric nano-fibers because of its

simplicity, versatility, economics (i.e. cost

effective) and scale-up. Moreover, it is

also employed to organize nano-fibers of

various types (e.g. porous, hollow and

core/sheath) into well-defined arrays or

hierarchical architectures in three-

dimensional network. Different fiber

morphologies have been fabricated, such

as beaded, ribbon, porous, and core-shell

Blend and Characterization of Ether Containing Tetraglycidyl

Epoxy Reinforced With Amine Functionalized Graphene Oxide

(F-Go) and Its Nanocomposites

Manoj Kumar* Department of Chemistry, College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, India

ABSTRACT

Union and characterization of ether containing tetraglycidyl epoxy reinforced with amine

functionalized graphene oxide (FTGDDE lattice material alongside functionalized graphene

oxide (F-GO) as support was utilized to build up a one of a kind skeletally adjusted tetra

practical epoxy nanocomposites. Amine functionalization of graphene oxide nanoparticles

(F-GO) on its surface was accomplished by uniting 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)

as coupling operator. The FT-IR range uncovered that the silane coupling specialist was

covalently attached to the surface of graphene oxide nanoparticles, offering better

dispersibility and similarity with TGDDE epoxy grid. The TGDDE epoxy sap was further

strengthened with changing weight rates (1–5 wt.%) of F-GO and cured with room

temperature curing operator (Aradur 140). Warm and thermo-mechanical conduct of

TGDDE epoxy frameworks and nanocomposites were analysed by TGA and DMA, which

gives off an impression of being a perfect contender for cutting edge elite applications when

contrasted with those of flawless epoxy network. F-Go and it's nanocomposites.

Keywords: ether, F-GO, nanocomposites, TGDDE epoxy matrices

INTRODUCTION

Epoxy saps are broadly utilized as

embodying materials as a part of the

electronic/electrical enterprises and

propelled composite lattices for auxiliary

overlays, inferable from their high rigidity

and modulus, great compound,

consumption resistance and fantastic

dimensional strength. The cured epoxy

gum is an exceptionally cross connected

system which has high modulus, crack

quality, low crawl, and great execution at

raised temperatures. Be that as it may,

they have certain downsides like, deficient

warm and mechanical properties to meet

the prerequisites of elite applications. By

enhancing mechanical properties and

warm properties the execution of epoxy

tar was appropriate for cutting edge

superior building applications.

Consequently, a choice of reasonable

polymeric materials is fundamental to

enhance the mechanical properties with

holding solidness, glass move temperature

and warm steadiness of the epoxy grid. In

spite of the fact that the natural inorganic

buildings have been perceived for quite a

while, the enthusiasm for examining these

graphene oxide nanosheets materials as

nanoscale-fortifying operator for

polymeric materials has just been created

as of late. The presentation of as low as

0.5–1 wt.% of amine functionalized

graphene oxide (F-GO) into polymer

framework is notable to bring about

significant change in mechanical quality

Application of Nanoprobes in Sensing Disease Detection

Shalini Sharma*, Rajni Bisht Chemistry Department, BITS Pilani, India

ABSTRACT

This review focuses on imaging, visualization and detection of diseases using nanoprobes.

Several currently available nanoprobes such as fluorescent nanoprobes, upconversion

nanoparticle probes, supermagnetic iron oxide nanoprobes, and polymer- and liposome

based nanoprobes are discussed. This paper also briefly summarizes the methodologies used

to image and track single cells, tumors, cancer cells, brain diseases and angiogenic

vasculature. Current challenges and future scopes of research are also discussed.

Keywords: cells, diseases, imaging, molecules, nanoprobes, tracking

INTRODUCTION

A nanoprobe is an optical device that can

be used to distinguish and study a

chemical and/or biological sample often at

the nanometer scale. Nanoprobes are

usually developed by tapering an optical

fiber to a tip measuring 100 nm wide. An

example of the use of nanoprobes for

visualization is a very thin coating of

silver nanoparticles (NPs) helps to

enhance the rapid oscillation of electrons

during the Raman scattering effect of the

light. This increases vibration energy,

thereby enhancing Raman scattering. This

technique is commonly known as surface-

enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The

nanoprobes result in accurate detection

and analysis of a sample by producing

higher electromagnetic fields and higher

signal output. Some of the other examples

of nanoprobes are nanoparticles in

aqueous solution in electrospray ionization

mass spectrometry [1], extracting

nanoquantities of neurochemicals via in

vivo microdialysis [2], and using gold-

based metallic nanoprobes for

Theranostics [3]. Recently there has been

considerable interest for ultrasensitive

biodetection via optical, electrochemical,

and various other means [4]. Such

bioaffinity nanoprobes are particularly

interesting due to comparable sizes of

nanomaterials and biomolecules which

can be used for highly sensitive and

selective biosensing. For an example, a

diagnostic method involves placing a

patient’s blood sample on a small chip that

contains the special nanoprobes. The

nanoprobes then attach to any disease

markers in the blood sample, such as a

cancer cell. When a laser is shined on the

chip, the attached probes emit light, which

is detected by an optical sensor [5]. There

have been numerous nanoprobes

developed for ultrasensitive bioaffinity

sensing of proteins and nucleic acids

during last one decade. Here we review

several nanoprobes that are currently

available in disease detection including

fluorescent nanoprobes (organic dyes,

fluorescent proteins, quantum dots (QDs)

and gold nanoprobes), upconversion

nanoparticle probes, superparamagnet iron

oxide nanoprobes, single walled

nanotubes, polymer-based nanoprobes,

More specifically, we categorize them

according to the major types of diseases

and discuss clinical potentials and pitfalls.
