Over the last years, nanotechnology has been introduced in our daily life. Nanotechnology may be able to part in a very range of applications, such as in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics, biomaterials energy production, and consumer product, etc. The application of nanotechnology for medical purposes has been termed nanomedicine and is defined as nanoscale tools (e.g., 1–1000 nm sized) for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. The term nanomedicine appeared in the 1990s, and since then, has the potential to significantly improve some current treatments. Commonly, nanomedicines consist of active pharmaceutical ingredients such as small molecules or biologics packaged into nano-sized carriers made of excipients like lipids and polymers. By packaging drug in the particles, drug concentration in the target is maximize by passi..... ReadMore

The energy requirement of the world has been increasing due to increase in world population, technological development and increased living standards. A large fraction (~85 %) of the power consumed in the world is generated by burning of fossil fuels. The fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas are non-renewable and are expected to last for another 40 to 60 years based on current energy consumption. The other critical issue is the global warming, which is mainly caused by CO2 emissions generated from the combustion of fossil fuels. As a consequence, investigations of alternate energy strategies have recently become important. The most important requirement of alternative energy sources is their environmental compatibility. The fact that burning of hydrogen produces only harmless water vapors, hydrogen is likely to become ..... ReadMore

Nanotechnology employs substances comprising particles of one to 100 nanometres (nm) in size [1,2], in other words, finely powdered ‘dusts’. These are generally manufactured, and do not occur in nature, although natural materials of small particle size are included in the definition. Nanomaterials reputedly display ‘unique phenomena’, offering economic potential through manipulation of nanoparticles for novel applications [3]. Hence nanotechnology requires study and ‘fine-tuning’ of atomic, molecular and macro-molecular materials, whose properties may vary from those manifested by materials in ‘bulk’ dimensions [4]. These aims imply existing (and growing) expertise regarding the required ‘fine-tuning’ processes and suggest that manipulating nano-dusts will create benefits for society, in technological and, for instance.....

Glandless cotton seed meal (GCSM) extracted from cotton is composed of nearly 50 percent protein. For about every 100kg of cotton fiber produced the cotton plant yields approximately 160kg of cottonseed. GCSM presents a unique opportunity to be used in the food industry. In this study, GCSM based polymer composite edible fine fibers were successfully produced using pullulan as the polymeric base. GCSM solutions were developed and spun as fine fibers using a centrifugal spinning technology. A synergistic approach among fiber output and fiber diameter was pursued by modifying angular velocity and concentration of pullulan and GCSM within an aqueous solution. The developed fibers show average fiber diameters of 720nm with a standard deviation of 200nm. Thermo-physical analysis was conducted. The opportunity to develop GCSM fine fiber ma..... ReadMore
