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.
