Luminescence in Nano Sized Vanadate Phosphor

K.N. Shinde Département of Physics, N.S. Science and Arts College, Bhadrawati, India

Abstract

ecently, Rare Earth Doped Vanadate Phosphors Have Paid Considerable Attention Owing To

Their Long-Wavelength Excitation Properties, Which Enable Their Use In Leds, Fluorescent

Lamps, And Flat Panel Displays. The luminescence performance of a material can be enhanced

significantly by the suitable selection of host material. Since the White Light-Emitting Diodes

(WLEDs) gaining much more attention. Generation of the white light by Combining an Ultra Violet

(UV) LED and appropriate phosphors is most desirable. Hence, it is essential to develop efficient

phosphors to convert the near-UV pump light with a range of 300-400 nm into the visible wavelength.

In order to fabricate excellent WLEDs, the excitation wavelength of the red phosphors should match

the emission of the near UV-LEDs (350-410 nm) or blue LEDs (440-470 nm). Therefore, the phosphor

materials play an important role in WLEDs. Most vanadates exhibit intense broadband emission from

400 nm to 700 nm under UV excitation because of tetrahedral VO4 with Td symmetry. The broadband

emission spectra of vanadate phosphors are due to the Charge Transfer (CT) of an electron from the

oxygen 2p orbital to the vacant 3d orbital of V5+ in tetrahedral VO4 with Td symmetry. The

luminescence is attributed to the 3T2→1A1 and 3T1 →1A1 transitions. The preparation and

photoluminescent properties of orthovanadate are M3–3x/2(VO4)2:xEu(0.01≤x≤0.09 for M=Ca and 0.03 for

M=Sr and Ba) reported. The vanadate phosphors powder are synthesized using the solution

combustion method. These phosphors are annealed at different temperatures and the impact of

temperature is clearly seen on particle size. The particles become larger with increasing temperature

and reach maximum at 1050, 1150 and 1250°C for Ca, Sr and Ba host, respectively. Eventually, the

photoluminescence properties of these compounds under near UV-excitation are expected to make

them applicable as efficient and novel luminescent materials for white light LED.

Application of Nano Technology to Meet the Challenges of Arsenic and Fluoride Contamination of Ground Water in West

Bengal, India

Prof. K J Nath Chairman, Arsenic Task Force, President, Institution of Public Health Engineers,

Former Director, All India Institute of Hygiene & Public Health, Govt. of India

Abstract

Geogenic arsenic and fluoride contamination of ground water has emerged as a major global crisis

affecting over 50 countries. Nearly 200 million people in Asia and Africa drink ground water that

contains toxic levels of arsenic and fluoride. The diverse nano particles have the unique capacity for

scavenging toxic species such as arsenic, fluoride, lead and other contaminants that can result in

affordable, user friendly water purifiers which can function without electricity.

The paper discusses the experience of the author, as the Chairman of Arsenic Task Force, Govt. of

West Bengal, India, in collaborating with IIT, Madras, India and Lehigh University, USA, for

application of nano-materials in addressing the critical problem of contamination of ground water

sources with arsenic and fluoride. The Lehigh University has developed a process to disperse zirconium

oxides which have the unique sorption capacity to bind a variety of trace contaminants including

arsenic, fluoride, phosphate and lead. The IIT technology, on the other hand, is marked by the constant

release of silver ion in water combing, with the capacity of diverse of nano particles for the

development of the most cost effective water purification plant. The author is involved in the process of

planning and management of a comprehensive arsenic mitigation programme in West Bengal, India,

which includes large no. of plants for arsenic and fluoride removals by using nano materials. A

comparative evaluation of the technology with various other competing technologies is also undertaken

in the paper.

Abstract

ynthetic Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles that mimic natural HA are widely used as coatings on

prostheses to repair, reconstruct and substitute human bones. However, for developing countries as

Sri Lanka, the accessibility of most of these materials is limited due to the high cost of both raw

materials and processing. Therefore, we developed materials which would be a simple material with

high economic value for orthopaedic applications. In order to evaluate the appropriateness to utilize in

the production of bone implants, this material was evaluated for cytotoxicity and biocompatibility (i.e.:

morphology, proliferation and differentiation) HA nanoparticles are nontoxic according to the

cytotoxicity results which confirm their potential usage in biomedical applications. MTT (3-(4,5-

dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, Alamarblue assay for cell proliferation,

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) activity assay for cell differentiation and SEM analysis for the cell

morphology studies confirmed that the synthesized HA nanoparticles are nontoxic.

In-vitro using osteoblast-like cells (HOS). The results of this study demonstrate that the HA did not

elicit any toxic substance which would bring deleterious effects to HOS cells and have supported cell

adhesion once the cells are in contact with the material surfaces (Figure 01). Moreover, cells attached

to the surfaces retained their typical polygonal morphology and Osteoblast phenotype, while

undergoing the developmental stages of HOS cells (proliferation and differentiation) successfully,

confirming the biocompatibility of the material.

In conclusion, this material will be a promising alternative for the production of synthetic bone

substitutes with high potential for future developments in load bearing as well as non-load bearing

orthopaedic applications.

Method for Examining the Behavior of Dye Adsorption in Zif-8 Based On External Surface Area

Tran Ba Luan Vinh Long University of Education and Technology, Vietnam

Truong Van Xa Vinh Long University of Education and Technology, Vietnam

Abstract

e use two kinds of ZIF-8 crystals in different external surface area to examine adsorption

performance for three kinds of dye (Rhodamine B -RB, methyl orange -MO and methylene blue -

MB). A t-plot method was used to determine external surface area for these samples. By establishing

trend lines from dye adsorption capacities versus external surface area, it was indicated that the RB

and MO covered only on external surface area, while MB adsorbed both of inside the structure of ZIF-8

and on the outer surface. Moreover, the detailed adsorption of three dyes on the sorbent can be

calculated by this method. As result, the RB and MO occupied 4.7 and 7.9 nm2 of the external surface

for each molecule, respectively while that of MB included both inside the ZIF-8 structure, at a loading

of 0.11 molecule per unit cell, and on the external surface with 2.3 nm2/molecule

Carbon-based Nano Electro-Mechanical Systems

Dr. Abeer Abdullah Al Anazi Assistant Professor, Australian College of Kuwait (ACK), Kuwait

Abstract

ano Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) integrate critical structural electrical and mechanical

elements at or below 100 nm. This is miniaturization of the Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems

(MEMS), where the critical structural elements are on the micrometer length scale. Compared to

MEMS, NEMS have smaller mass and higher surface area to volume ratio, which is advantageous for

applications in manufacturing high frequency resonators and ultrasensitive sensors. Due to the

promising potential applications of the emerging NEMS that is expected to have a major impact on our

lives, research on NEMS reliability has been of crucial importance on the last decade. Aiming to

provide an intuition and insight for researchers who are interested in reliability studies of NEMS, an

extensive collection of researches were selected and integrated into this paper to cover the reliability

issues of NEMS in different phases of their life cycles including design, manufacturing, logistics, and

operation. The paper discusses failure causes on the nano-scales due mechanical, electrical, chemical,

thermal factors, or combinations of them, which can occur during manufacturing and post-

manufacturing phases. It also reviews common failure modes and mechanisms, the reliability aspects

of design and manufacturing, as well as reliability evaluation and testing techniques for NEMS.

Nonlinear Chaotic Simulation Inference of Nanoparticles

Rashmi Bhardwaj University School of Basic & Applied Sciences, Nonlinear Dynamics Research Lab, Guru Gobind Singh

Indraprastha University, Dwarka, Delhi, India

Abstract

he modelling of fluid dynamics of the ferro-nano-fluid flow with magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles

through blood vessels along with cholesterol decomposition in rectangular cavity system for

magnetic and temperature variability is discussed in the present study. Fixed points are calculated and

conditions for stable, critical and chaotic orbits are observed for non-uniform deposition of cholesterol.

Different nonlinear techniques like time series, phase space, Lyapunov Exponents, Entropy simulate

the ordered and chaotic orbits of the dynamical system. Lyapunov Exponents and Bifurcation analysis

is discussed for variation in Hartman number (Ha) and Reynold number (Ra). Entropy measures the

randomness in the system. It is observed that the state of chaos starts from Ra = 26.2 which indicates

that only at extremely higher temperature the rectangular cavity gets chaotic which proves the fact

that when the blood vessel of a patient has non-uniform deposition even then some regular flow is still

viable. It is concluded that in case of non-uniform cholesterol deposition the value of Rayleigh number

at which chaos begins is quite high, thus, patient has more chance to survive as disorder occurs for

extreme conditions and there exist narrow passages which provide flow.

Effect of Multiple Emulsion on Mortality of Drosophila virils

Areej Al-Khalaf Biology Department, College of Science, Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi

Arabia

Abstract

he frequent use of insecticides has led to the development of insecticide resistance by many insects.

In some insect populations, resistance can be developed to multiple pesticides. Up to this,

insecticides resistance became a key challenge, and the amounts of the used pesticides must be as

lower as possible. In this study, we measured the potency of multiple emulsions on the mortality of

Drosophila virils and the ability of the fly to ingest and excrete the emulsions as a new strategy to

avoid the great use of pesticides. The obtained data showed that the value of the lethal concentration

of half the number of individuals decreases when the exposure duration increases which demonstrates

the sensitivity of the larvae to the toxic effect of the formulation. This can help to suggest that this type

of material can be more effective and lasting effect for as long as possible. Moreover, the ingestion and

excretion of the formulated product in the hind-gut can help to suggest the ability of the studied

formulation to pass through the peritrophic membrane and the midgut acidic regions as two important

barriers. In conclusion, the formulated microcapsule has a satisfactory insecticidal potency against D.

virilis in a dose - dependent manner which might help to avoid the developed resistance to commonly

used insecticides.

Nanotechnology for Addressing Energy-Environment Nexus

Dr. Atindra Shukla Shah-Schulman Center for Surface Science and Nanotechnology, Dharmsinh Desai University, Nadiad, India

Abstract

NDP Chartered Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deal with 12 different action tasks in

securing healthy environment and livelihood, of which the most important are dealing with

clean/renewable energy. To sustain the development supply of energy is needed and for sustainability

means of energy productions must be green and benign. To address this complementarity between

Energy & Environment novel approaches are to be implemented for energy generation and dissipation.

Another aspect is energy conservation, which indirectly reinforces the environmental conservation.

This is Energy-Environment Nexus. When you address the energy, you essentially address the

environmental concern too.

We design and prepare specialty nanomaterials for their applications in the field of Energy harvesting,

conservation, enhanced oil recovery, anti- corrosive coatings, reducing frictional losses, and

photocatalytic degradation of effluents from waste-water. We have also developed nanomaterial coated

water treatment materials for domestic water purification without electricity. Metal oxide and

Graphene based nanomaterials were surface modified using various surfactants tailored for target

applications. Surface modification strategy involves physicochemical processes followed by

characterization and incorporation to the system for applications. In most of the cases the final

formulations are nanosuspensions or nanofluids. Whose stability and performance parameters are

optimized as per the demand of the application area.

Dharmendra kumar Associate professor in Physics, Rajiv Ganhi Techanical University, Bhopal (M.P.), India

Abstract

ilver colloids show different colours due to light absorption and scattering in the visible region

based on plasmon resonance. The resonance wavelength depends on particle size and shape. Here

we report chemical reduction methods for preparation of silver nanoparticles exhibiting

multicolour in aqueous solutions. Depending on chemical conditions the obtained nanoparticles are

different regarding size and morphology.

In order to investigate the relationship between size, stability and color of silver colloids we obtained

silver nanoparticles in aqueous solutionsusing different reducing agents. The effect of Polyvinyl

Pyrrolidone (PVP) was investigated. We have also studied the effect of silver precursor and its

concentration on the formation of stable silver colloids.

UV-VIS spectrum for silver colloids contains a strong plasmon band near 410 nm, which confirms

silver ions reduction to Ag° in the aqueousphase. The formation of metal silver was also confirmed by

powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The diameter size of silver nanoparticleswas in the range

from 5 nm to 100 nm. The Ag/PMMA was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

(FTIR).

silver nanoparticle are extraordinally efficient at absorbing and scattering light due to their optical

properties.These particles were synthesized by chemical reduction method of AgNO3 using NaBH4.

The borohydride anions were adsorbed onto silver nanoparticles and addition of PVP prevented the

aggregation of silver nanoparticles. A yellow colour was given by the silver nanoparticle solution.

Experimental Analysis of Low Density Poly Ethylene Effect on

the Mechanical Properties of Poly Ethylene Vinyl Acetate for Prosthetic and Orthotic Application

Yenealem yilma Material Science / Ethiopia biotechnology institute, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Abstract n this comparative study, the effect of low density poly ethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate loading

ratio by melt blending with additives and without additives on mechanical properties for prosthetic

and orthotic application was analyzed. To carry out these thermoplastic materials such as Low Density

Poly Ethylene (LDPE), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), color pigment, calcium carbonate, titanium

dioxide and black carbon have been used as raw material to produce the sample in sheet form and to

achieve comfortable prosthetic and orthotic application. The method used were blending, molding,

testing of produced materials. Increasing the content of EVA and decreasing content of LDPE had

effect on compatibility, tensile strength and elongation at break vice versa. The blended composite with

additives has no significant effect on molding and without additive have significant effect on molding

due to molecular mobility which leads shrinkage. The maximum tensile strength reached to 10.5Mpa

and minimum tensile strength reached 2.8Mpa and the maximum elongation at break reached 469.8%

and minimum elongation at break 40.2%.The other result are in between of these ranges, which have

better than existing one has maximum tensile strength of 2.3Mpa and elongation at break have

265%.The mean value of maximum tear load is 74.4N/mm and minimum tear load have 38.9N/mm

which have better result than existing one has 10.5N/mm. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) test

result showed that specimen with more filler and less content of EVA become poor in its morphology

and compatibility.

Innovative Strategies to Facilitate Liver Repair

Laila M. Montaser Menoufia University, Faculty of Medicine, Egypt

Sherin M. Fawzy Stem Cell, Regenerative Medicine, Nanotechnology and Tissue Engineering (SRNT) Research Group, Egypt

Abstract iver replacement is necessary for end stage liver failure and for correction of metabolic disorders.

Liver transplantation was once the only therapeutic option for patients with end stage liver

diseases, and its clinical use was limited due to organ shortages, the high cost of the treatment, and

rejection. Even a tentative liver support is relevant under specific clinical conditions, giving cell based

therapy a large possibility. Stem cell-based therapy has received attention as a possible alternative to

organ transplantation, owing to the ability of stem cells to repopulate and differentiate at the engrafted

site. Advancements in the fields of stem cell biology and biomaterials science and engineering have

been combined to produce strategies by which stem cell attachment; proliferation and differentiation in

vitro are supported and enhanced. The purpose of this study was presenting emergent process in the

field of liver tissue engineering with applying Nano scaffolds for particular implementation. In the

future, the development of innovative strategies using stem cells, in scaffolds could improve the quality

of new formed liver tissue.

Removal of Procion Brilliant Red He-7b Dye Using Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Enhanced With Cetyltrimethyl

Ammonium Bromide

Tryphosa Daniel Gera Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Punjab, India

N. K. Srivastava Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Punjab, India

Abstract

he Nickel Oxide nanoparticles were prepared from Nickel Sulphate using chemical co-precipitation

method. The properties like size, morphology and elemental composition were studied and

characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive x-ray (EDS), Fourier

Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. The adsorption of

Procion Brilliant Red HE-7B dye on Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide coated Nickel Oxide

nanoparticles was studied in Batch mode. The experimental data were analyzed using Langmuir and

Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption of Procion Brilliant Red HE-7B dye on cetyltrimethyl

ammonium bromide coated Nickel Oxide nanoparticles showed a better fit to the Langmuir isotherm

model with high correlation coefficients than the Freundlich isotherm model and the value of

correlation coefficient for the fit of experimental isotherm data to langmuir equation is more closer to

1.0 than that for the freundlich isotherm (RL2=0.953, RF

2=0.466). Therefore, the values of maximum

monolayer capacity and isotherm constant were obtained as qmax = 45 mgg-1 and KL = 0.052mg-1.

Pseudo-first order, Pseudo-second order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion model were used to

analyze the kinetic data. Kinetic data revealed that the adsorption is controlled by film diffusion and

followed the pseudo-second order kinetic model more positively than other models.

Electrochemical Immunosensor using Single-wall Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) For Cancer Biomarker

Soheli Farhana MIIT, Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Abstract

lectrochemical immunoassays are highly suitable for high-throughput screening since they require

minute sample size and minimal power consumption and thus they are greatly suited for point-of-

care or field decentralized testing. CNTs have unique mechanical and electronic properties, combined

with chemical stability, and behave electrically as a metal or semiconductor, depending on their

structure. For sensing applications, CNTs have many advantages such as small size with larger

surface area, excellent electron transfer promoting ability when used as electrodes modifier in

electrochemical reactions, and easy protein immobilization with retention of its activity for potential

biosensors. CNTs-based sensors can be applied in real sample analysis in different areas such as

biomedical, food, agriculture, and fishing industries. There are many biomedical sensing applications

where CNTs based sensors perform better in real sample analysis. CNTs-based sensors can be used in

commercial food samples to detect undesired chemical residues resulting from animal drugs, food

additives, pesticides, and other environmental contaminants in raw and processed foods. CNTs play an

important role in the performance of electrochemical biosensors, immunosensors, and DNA biosensors.

Various methods have been developed for the design of sensors using CNTs in recent years.

In this paper, we Report a novel SWNT immunosensor to the detection of a cancer biomarker in real

biomedical samples. SWNT forests were assembled and characterized by AFM and Raman

spectroscopy and prostate-specific antigen (PSA), was carried out using differential pulse

voltammetry(DPV). This resulted in a low detection limit of 5 pg/ mL for prostate specific antigen

(PSA) in 10μL undiluted calf serum. PSA in human serum was measured with SWNT immunosensors

with ±5% accuracy for human serum samples.

Development of GaN on GaN for Next Generation Technology

Dr. Zainuriah Hassan, FASc Professor, Universiti Sains Malaysia

Abstract

onsiderable interest has been devoted to utilizing wide band gap semiconductors, which have

emerged as the promising materials in energy efficient solid-state lighting and applications beyond

solid-state lighting, such as photodetectors and gas sensors. III-nitrides wide band gap

semiconductors, particularly the Gallium Nitride (GaN), and ternary AlGaN and InGaN as well as the

quaternary InAlGaN, have long been the materials-of-choice for the fabrication of heterostructures to

produce high quality desired emission wavelength of ultraviolet/blue/green Light Emitting Diodes

(LEDs). The GaN-based materials offer a wide range of direct band gap, spanning from 0.7 eV for InN,

to 6.2 eV for AlN with 3.4 eV for GaN. This energy range is suitable for band-to-band light generation

with colors ranging from infrared to ultraviolet wavelengths. Two emerging technologies: "GaN on

GaN" LED and laser-based lighting have accelerated the growth of LED industry for the next

generation solid-state lighting. Advanced epitaxy technology of fabricating GaN on GaN LED using

Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) was successfully accomplished and achieved

higher lumens per Watt as compared to GaN on PSS (Patterned Sapphire Substrate) LED. GaN on

GaN is also now being pursued for the niche market of UV LEDs for water purification and various

other emerging applications such LiFi, power devices, solar cells and sensors for Industry 4.0

technology.

Alkali-Activated Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers as an Efficient

Bifunctional Adsorbent for Cationic and Anionic Dyes

Badr M. Thamer King Saud University, Saudi Arabia

Abstract

ctivated Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers (A-ECNFs) with micro/mesoporous structures and high

surface areas (1615 m2/g) were prepared from Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) by electrospinning technique

followed by carbonization and alkali activation. The adsorption of CONGO RED (CR) and Methylene

Blue (MB) dyes by A-ECNFs from aqueous solutions was investigated and compared with those of

pristine ECNFs. The textural characteristics and morphology of the prepared pristine and activated

ECNFs were characterized using various techniques. The adsorption performance was found to be

associated to the surface area, porosity, and surface charges of the prepared adsorbents; the nature and

molecular size of the dyes; and the pH and temperature of the solution. Six nonlinear isotherm models

were applied to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data, and the results showed that the adsorption

behavior could be appropriately described using the Redlich–Peterson isotherm model. The kinetic

results for the adsorption of CR and MB onto A-ECNFs were fitted reasonably well to the Elovich

model, and were fitted by a Pseudo-Second Order (PSO) model onto the pristine ECNFs. According to

the thermodynamic results, the adsorption of CR and MB onto the A-ECNFs was endothermic and

spontaneous. In addition, the reusability of the A-ECNFs was evaluated over five adsorption-

desorption cycles.

Application of Nanotechnology in Metallic Stents for the

Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases

Aidin Bordbar-Khiabani Materials and Energy Research Center, Iran

Abstract ne of the world's leading causes of death is Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Plaque reposition

within the heart's arteries causes CHD and leads to pernicious complications including heart

attack and stroke. Stenting are common treatments for blocked arteries. Stents are tiny, expandable

mesh tubes that hold arteries open. For bare metal stents, coronary in stent restenosis remains a

remarkable restriction to the long term efficacy of coronary artery stent placement. Nanotechnology

gives a promising landscape to overcome these impediments. Drug-eluting stents have emerged as one

of the most promising technologies in the field of cardiovascular-nanomedicine. Loaded with anti-

inflammatory and antiproliferative agents in Nano scale, these stents have the potential to reduce

post-stent-implantation restenosis significantly. This article comprehensively summarizes the recent

research that has been done on the role of nanocarriers and nanodrugs on the stents surface and the

performance of these stents in vicinity of the vessel tissue.

Vesicular Formulation of Artemisinin for Therapy of Murine

Visceral Leishmaniasis

Farhat Afrin Taibah University, Madinah, KSA

Abstract

isceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal, vector borne tropical disease caused by intracellular protozoa

of the genus Leishmania. In the absence of vaccines, chemotherapy remains the main armament in

control of VL, a neglected disease of poverty. Existing therapeutics are ineffective, expensive or have

side effects coupled with emergence of resistance, HIV co-infection and post kala-azar dermal

leishmaniasis after apparent cure.

Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone with potent antileishmanial activity. However, its lipophilicity

limits its accessibility to parasitized macrophages. To enhance its bioavailability and stability with

targeted delivery to macrophages, we incorporated artemisinin in nanoliposomes. Nanoliposomal

artemisinin (NLA) prepared by thin film hydration and optimized using Box-Behnkehn design, had

particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential and drug loading of 83 nm, 0.2, -27.4 mV and 33.2 %,

respectively. NLA was free from concomitant signs of toxicity and significantly denigrated the

intracellular Leishmania amastigotes ex-vivo (IC50 6.0 µg/ml). Following treatment in murine model of

VL, NLA conferred 82.1 and 77.6 % protection in the liver and spleen, respectively coinciding with

modulation of cell mediated immunity towards Th1 type. Ours is the first report on the use of

nanoliposomal delivery system of artemisinin as a promising alternative intervention against VL.

Development of Sugar Chain-Binding Single-Chain Variable

Fragment Antibody to Adult T-Cell Leukemia Cells Using Glyco-Nanotechnology and Phage Display Method

Kaname Muchima Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Kagoshima University, Japan

Abstract

dult T-cell Leukemia (ATL) is an intractable blood cancer caused by the infection of human T-cell

leukemia virus type-1, and effective medical treatment is required. It is known that the structure

and expression levels of cell surface sugar chains vary depending on cell states such as inflammation

and cancer. Thus, it is expected that the antibody specific for ATL cell surface sugar chain would be an

effective diagnostic tool and a strong candidate for the development of an anti-ATL drug. Here, we

developed a stable sugar chain-binding single-chain variable fragment antibody (scFv) that can bind to

ATL cells using a fibre-type Sugar Chip and phage display method. The fiber-type Sugar Chips were

prepared using O-glycans released from ATL cell lines. The scFv-displaying phages derived from

human B cells (diversity: 1.04 × 108) were then screened using the fiber-type Sugar Chips, and an O-

glycan-binding scFv was obtained. The flow cytometry analysis revealed that the scFv predominantly

bound to ATL cell lines. The sugar chain-binding properties of the scFv was evaluated by array-type

Sugar Chip immobilized with a library of synthetic glycosaminoglycan disaccharide structures. Highly

sulphated disaccharide structures were found to have high affinity to scFv.

Abstract

ontamination of water supplies with different toxic metal pollutants from industrial activities has

received high concern in recent years. Removal of Pb (II) ions from aqueous solutions by Nano

platelets kaolinite prepared from Batin El Ghoul deposits, south Jordan has been studied using batch

adsorption technique. The adsorption studies were determined as a function of pH, contact time, initial

metal ion concentration, adsorbent dosage and temperature. Experimental data obtained were

analyzed with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and in each case the Langmuir model

appears to have better regression coefficients. Thermodynamic parameters: ∆Go, ∆Ho and ∆So were

calculated indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic process. The results

of the study showed that Nano platelets kaolinite can be efficiently used as a low-cost alternative for

the removal of toxic heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Nanotechnology and Nano-Propolis in Animal Production and

Health

Pınar Tatlı Seven Firat University, Department of Animal Nutrition and Nutritional Diseases, Turkey

Abstract

anotechnology is the science and technology of small and specific things that are <100 nm in size.

Because of the size of nanomaterials, new changes in their chemical and physical structure may

occur and indicate higher reactivity and solubility. Many of nanotechnology applications in food and

agricultural production are being developed in research and development settings. Global challenges

are related to animal production, including environmental sustainability, human health, disease

control, and food security. Nanotechnology holds promise for animal health, veterinary medicine, and

some areas of animal production. Nanotechnology has had application in several other sectors, and its

application in food and feed science is a recent case. Especially, natural nano antimicrobials obtained

from different techniques such as nano-propolis are useful to veterinary medicine in terms of health,

performance, and reliable food production. Nano-propolis is a nano-sized (1–100 nm in diameter)

propolis particles tied together to make it more effective without changing its properties by changing

the size of propolis by different methods. Propolis have many advantages such as anti-inflammatory,

antioxidant, anticancer and antifungal activity, etc. The consumption of free form of propolis restricts

these benefits due to low bioavailability, low solubility, low absorption, and untargeted release.

Different nanoencapsulation technologies are used to obtain nano-propolis. Nano-propolis are more

easily absorbed by the body because they have a size smaller. Nano-propolis is also more effective than

propolis in terms of antibacterial and antifungal activity. This review focuses on some recent work

concerning the uses of nanotechnology in animal health or human health using animal models, and the

effectiveness of nanotechnology on natural supplements such as propolis used in animal nutrition and

animal health.

way of systems thinking – Nano thinking demonstrates technology trends from perfectness to non-

regularity. The removal of current contradictions between regular and non-regular systems and the

corresponding nanophenomena is the way to novel processes in the development of nanoscience and

nanotechnologies, education and industry, consumer society and policy making. This review is intended

for nanomaterial consumers, managers, education practitioners, students, researchers, manufacturers,

work health and safety practitioners, and other interested people who do not have a background in

technical sciences but who need to understand the benefits and hazards of engineered nanomaterials

and require guidance on managing risks associated with these.

Bio-Nanotechnology and its Role in Agriculture and Food

Industry

Sapna Thakur Eternal University, Sirmaur, India

Abstract

bstract Bulk material is divided into small size particles with one or more dimensions in the

nanometre range or even smaller, the individual particles exhibit unexpected properties which are

different from those of the bulk material. Due to distinct properties of nanomaterials like improved

plant disease resistance, detect the mycotoxins in food, efficient nutrient utilization and enhanced

plant growth. Bio-Nanotechnology combines biological principles with physical and chemical

approaches to produce Nano-size particles with specific functions. It also represents an economic

substitute for chemical and physical methods of nanoparticles formation. Metal nanoparticles exhibit

good anti-pathogenic, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal activities due to electrostatic interaction of

nanoparticles with bacterial cell membrane and their accumulation in cytoplasm. Nano-fertilizers may

contain zinc, silica, iron and titanium dioxide, gold Nano-rods, core shell QDs, etc. The carbon

nanotubes and nanoparticles of silver, zinc oxide, etc can be really helpful in remediating the plant

growth by ensuring that the nutrients are utilized optimally by the plants. Nanoscale biomaterials can

take part in pathogen detection as well as helps in nanoscale purification systems for improved food

quality. Some important aspects covered such as Nano-additives, intelligent packaging, control and

nutraceuticals delivery, Nano-coding of plastics and paper materials and Nano-encapsulation and

target delivery. Nanoparticles have been effectively entrenched in the packaging materials for making

food storage, thus minimizing pathogenic growth on stored foodstuffs. The bio-nanotechnology is a

forward-looking process and acts as an agricultural biosecurity.
