Summary
The document is a cover letter and resume from Mahesh Maruti Kadam, who is a Ph.D. candidate in India studying applications of soft matters for semiconductor nanoparticle synthesis. As part of his dissertation research, he has synthesized CdS and other semiconductor nanoparticles using surfactant and hydrotrope combinations. This work involved exploring interfacial chemistry and resulted in size-controlled nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were then used for photocatalytic water splitting to generate hydrogen and reduce carbon dioxide to chemicals like methanol. Kadam has also developed graphene-based materials for heavy metal adsorption and photocatalysis. He has experience with various analytical techniques and collaborating on research projects.
Studies on the formation of formaldehyde during 2-ethylhexyl 4-(dimethylamino...
In order to protect the skin from UV radiation, personal care products (PCPS) often contain chemical UV-filters. These compounds can enter the environment causing serious consequences on the water ecosystems. The aim of this study was to examine, the effect of different factors, such as UV light, the presence of NaOCl and H2O2 on the formaldehyde formation during popular UV filter, 2-ethylhexyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate (ODPABA) demethylation. The concentration of formaldehyde was determined by VIS spectrophotometry after derivatization. The reaction mixtures were qualitatively analyzed using GC/MS chromatography. The highest concentration of formaldehyde was observed in the case of ODPABA/H2O2/UV reaction mixture. In order to describe two types of demethylation mechanisms, namely, radical and ionic, the experimental results were enriched with Fukui function analysis and thermodynamic calculations. In the case of non-irradiated system containing ODPABA and NaOCl, demethylation reaction probably proceeds via ionic mechanism. As it was established, amino nitrogen atom in the ODPABA molecule is the most susceptible site for the HOCl electrophilic attack, which is the first step of ionic demethylation mechanism. In the case of irradiated mixtures, the reaction is probably radical in nature. The results of thermodynamic calculations showed that abstraction of the hydrogen from N(CH3)2 group is more probable than from 2-ethylhexyl moiety, which indicates higher susceptibility of N(CH3)2 to the oxidation.

This document summarizes a study on the synthesis of ferulic acid derivatives using peroxidase enzyme. Ferulic acid is known to have antioxidant properties due to its phenolic structure. The goal was to synthesize compounds with increased antioxidant activity by adding more hydroxyl groups. Initially, ferulic acid was esterified to ethyl ferulate. Then, peroxidase enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of ethyl ferulate into a suspected tetramer derivative. Testing found the tetramer had the strongest antioxidant effects against DPPH due to its multiple hydroxyl groups. Further analysis is recommended to fully characterize the synthesized tetramer compound.
Frp today biocomposites in automotive applications
The document discusses trends in the increasing use of biocomposites and natural fibers in automotive applications. It notes that crude oil prices are expected to rise significantly in the coming decades, increasing the motivation for alternative materials. Automakers have begun incorporating bioplastics, natural fibers, and biocomposites into various interior and exterior car parts to reduce weight and emissions. Examples include Mercedes-Benz using coconut fiber and natural rubber in headrests from 1991 onward. Many automakers now use natural fibers and bioplastics in seats, door panels, and other components. Research is also exploring nano-cellulose fibers as potentially stronger and more sustainable reinforcements for biocomposites.

This document describes a study comparing the acetylation of cellulose extracted from Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Dehn wood using microwave irradiation versus conventional heating. Cellulose was acetylated using acetic anhydride with pyridine as a catalyst. The reaction was performed using microwave irradiation for 6 hours and conventional heating for 7 hours. The acetylated products were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy. The results showed that microwave irradiation led to a faster and cleaner reaction compared to conventional heating. Microwave irradiation is proposed as a more efficient method for acetylating cellulose.

Tuning the crystallinity of Poly(ethylene oxide) in PEO-SiO2 nanocomposites Eleni 'Hellen' Papananou
This document summarizes research on how adding inorganic nanoparticles affects the structure, morphology, and crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The researchers investigated PEO mixed with montmorillonite clay nanoparticles (Na+-MMT), silica nanoparticles of different sizes, and their combinations using X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. They found that smaller silica nanoparticles induced more confinement, causing double melting peaks and preventing crystallization at high loadings. Larger nanoparticles and clay induced less severe confinement, allowing crystallization but changing the behavior. By using mixtures of nanoparticle sizes, they could reach lower polymer contents and tune the crystallinity more effectively than single nanoparticles alone.Busygin cv

This document summarizes a study that synthesized titanium dioxide-graphene oxide (TiO2-GO) and titanium dioxide-thermally reduced graphene oxide (TiO2-TGO) composites with varying concentrations of GO/TGO. The composites were characterized using various techniques and their photocatalytic activity for degrading phenol in an aqueous solution was evaluated. The TiO2-0.25% TGO composite exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, attributed to optimal phenol adsorption and reduced electron-hole pair recombination rates. Photocatalytic testing under nitrogen confirmed the role of graphene in transporting and storing electrons, suppressing recombination.
Role of mixed ligand Pd(II) and Pt(II)complexes in photooxygenation reaction
Mixed ligand complexes of the formula [M (phen) bdt] where M= Pd (II) or Pt(II), phen =1,10-phenanthroline and bdt =1,2-benzenedithiolate have been synthesized and studied as photosensitizers of singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) production. It was observed that, Pt (II) complex shows a better photosensitizing ability as compared to its Pd (II) analogue. However, both Pd (II) and Pt (II) complexes act as chemical quenchers of 1O2, resulting in their photooxidation shown by decay of the respective complex. ThusPt (II) complex undergoes selfsensitizedphotooxidation by 1O2. The solvent dependence of this reaction is undertaken by performing the experiment using pure DMF(dimethyl formamide)and 10% H2O in DMF as solvent. The comparison of rate of decay of the Pt(II)and Pd(II) complexes show enhancement of the reaction in presence of water. The decay of the complex was monitored by recording the difference absorption spectra of the complex in the visible region after definite irradiation times. Involvement of 1O2 is further supported by quenching studies of this reaction using NaN3 as physical quencher of 1O2.
