Item Novel materials for energy translation and storage(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2024) Biswas, R.; Mal, S.S.; Mazumder, N.Novel materials have come a long way. With the advent of sophisticated fabrication and allied processes, it has become easier to make these novel materials for various applications. These materials have become part and parcel of making storage devices, supercapacitors, fuel cells etc. With the growing automobile as well as allied industrial sectors, the demand for novel materials has skyrocketed of late. As such, there has been a surge of extensive research and development in this sector. Although, there is no dearth of technical papers in this area; however, the absence of synchronized and well-organized content pertinent to this domain is duly felt. In this regard, this proposed book is a unique contribution to filling this gap. With the aim of assimilating theory and practices, this proposed book will endeavor to provide a comprehensive glimpse of recent advancements with a strong unification of theory and practices. The book's topics will encompass the principles of development, fabrication, functionalization, integration, and implementation of these materials. With a plethora of handpicked and well-organized content, this book is believed to cater to the needs of novices, researchers and practitioners. © 2024 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

In this article, MCC was extracted from Saccharum spontaneum using single acid hydrolysis (MCC1) and sequential dual acid hydrolysis (MCC2). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images exhibited that the dimension of MCC2 is much smaller compared to MCC1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that sequential dual acid hydrolysis results in decrease the crystallinity index (CI%) in case of MCC2 (34.45%). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra indicates the presence of characteristic bonds such as O–H stretching, C–H stretching, OH bending, and C–O–C stretching in both MCC1 and MCC2. Based on thermal analysis conducted using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was confirmed that MCC2 (275.0°C) melts at much lower temperature compared to MCC1 (342.04°C). MCC2 is also less thermally stable compared to MCC1 in terms of mass loss (%). In all, both MCC1 and MCC2 have different physicochemical properties based on the process of extraction and may have different applications. Based on their physicochemical characteristics, smaller MCC particles are known to be favored for wide variety of applications such as pharmaceutical excipients and impact factors such as tablet hardness, friability, and disintegration. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

This can be attributed to the formation of dietary advanced glycation end products (dAGEs), which are known to be present in high concentrations in processed food items. This review primarily focuses on the factors affecting formation of AGEs present in processed food items and its role in the development of various diseases such as metabolic diseases, neurological disorders, infertility, and cancer have been presented here. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

The developed elastomers were subjected to morphological and thermal characterization. © Optica Publishing Group 2021, © 2021 The Author (s)Item Microscopic and Thermal Characterization of Starch-Silicon Dioxide Elastomers(Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2022) Pooja, N.; Banik, S.; Chakraborty, I.; Mal, S.S.; Mahato, K.K.; Srisungsitthisunti, P.; Mazumder, N.Elastomers were synthesized from potato starch with silicon dioxide as a reinforcement filler. The films were further subjected to microscopic and thermal characterization. © 2022 The Author(s)Item Biocompatiblity of potato starch-based elastomer films for cell culture(Optical Society of America, 2023) Ahmed, N.Y.; Pooja, N.; Mal, S.S.; Mazumder, N.Novel biodegradable elastomers based on potato starch are synthesized and utilized as cell substrates. The elastomers were characterized in terms of their functional properties. To assess the suitability of th e synthesized elastomers for biomedical applications, studies on cell adhesion and cell viability were carried out. © Optica Publishing Group 2023, © 2023 The Author(s)Item SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON-BASED STARCH BIOCOMPOSITE(Optical Society of America, 2023) Santhosh, N.P.; Pooja, N.; Mal, S.S.; Mazumder, N.Plastic overuse has resulted in severe environmental issues. Bioplastics, derived from biological sources like starch offer a potential solution to this problem. However, starch-based bioplastics show high susceptibility to moisture absorption, leading to poor mechanical strength. This study involves the use of activated carbon as reinforcement to improve the functional properties of starch bioplastics. © Optica Publishing Group 2023, © 2023 The Author(s)Item SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVATED CARBON-BASED STARCH BIOCOMPOSITE(Optical Society of America, 2023) Santhosh, N.P.; Pooja, N.; Mal, S.S.; Mazumder, N.Plastic overuse has resulted in severe environmental issues.
