Short Review on Nanofluidics with the Experimental Demonstration on Microfluidic Capillary Flow inside Microchannel Bends
Abstract: In this research work, author has presented a short review on nanofluidics. Total three individual microchannel bends as microfluidic devices are designed, fabricated and tested in this experimental work using author’s own hands-on completely. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the selected polymeric material to fabricate these microfluidic devices. Dyed water is prepared as working liquid to test these microfluidic devices. According to this experimental study, the surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water …

Grafting of Starch: Synthesis and Thermal Properties
Abstract: Starch chloroacetate (St.ClAc) as a macro-initiator was pre-synthesized with reaction of primary OH groups on powder starch and characterized. In this study, the graft copolymer of St.ClAc with the previously synthesized 2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl methacrylate (MPAEMA) and N-cyclohexylmethacrylamide (NCMA) monomer was made by atom transfer radical polymerization method (ATRP). St.ClAc and its graft copolymers (St.ClAc-g-MPAEMA and St.ClAc-g-NCMA) were characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis. In addition, thermal stability of these new …

Effect of Calcium doping on Structural and Morphological properties of YBCO Superconductor
Abstract: In this paper, we have reported the effect of Ca doping in YBCO superconductors with an aim of understanding the effect of novel local nano distortions on the superconducting properties of YBCO. Solid state reaction method is used to prepare the samples. X-Ray diffraction pattern shows that the samples are polycrystalline and having orthorhombic structure while Resistivity measurement shows that Tc decreases with increase in Ca-doping.Morphological studies reveals clear evolution …
