Journal ArticleDOI
Atomically Precise Clusters of Noble Metals: Emerging Link between Atoms and Nanoparticles
TL;DR: Luminescence in the visible region, especially by clusters protected with proteins, with a large Stokes shift, has been used for various sensing applications, down to a few tens of molecules/ions, in air and water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential of silver nanoparticle-coated polyurethane foam as an antibacterial water filter
Prashant Jain,Thalappil Pradeep +1 more
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles can be coated on common polyurethane (PU) foams by overnight exposure of the foams to nanoparticle solutions, which can be used as a drinking water filter where bacterial contamination of the surface water is a health risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivities of naked and monolayer protected metal nanoparticle based nanofluids: Manifestation of anomalous enhancement and chemical effects
Hrishikesh E. Patel,Sarit K. Das,Thirumalachari Sundararajan,A. Sreekumaran Nair,Beena George,Thalappil Pradeep +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the thermal conductivities of two kinds of Au nanoparticles in water and toluene media and found that they showed thermal conductivity enhancement of 5% -21% in the temperature range of 30-60°C at a loading of 0.000 -1.011%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coalescence of Nanoclusters and Formation of Submicron Crystallites Assisted by Lactobacillus Strains
Binoj Nair,Thalappil Pradeep +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of gold, silver, and gold-silver alloy crystals of submicron dimensions was observed by Lactobacillus strains, common in buttermilk, and the growth occurs by the coalescence of clusters, and tens of crystals were found within the bacterial contour.
Journal ArticleDOI
