Hydroxy terminated polyepichlorohydrins (PECH) of different molecular weights were synthesized using a novel catalyst and co-catalyst combinations. Different polymerization conditions like temperature, time and monomer addition rates exhibited pronounced effect on the molecular weight, polydispersity and functionality of the products. After optimization of the conditions, polyepichlorohydrins of three different molecular weights i.e., 1045, 2497 and 3521 daltons were selected for the preparation of their polyurethane elastomers (PUE). The DSC studies of the polyol displayed linear increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) with the increase in its molecular weight (-35.6 to -28.3 oC). In second part of the present study two series of polyurethane elastomers were prepared by prepolymer method from polyepichlorohydrins (polyols) of three different molecular weights, aromatic (TDI) and cycloaliphatic (IPDI) diisocyanates and three chain extenders (1,4-butadiol, 1,6-hexanediol and cyclohexanedimethanol). The structural elucidation of PECH and its elastomers was carried out by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The change in molecular weight (polyol), type of diisocyanate, nature of chain extender and amount of chain extenders engendered significant effect on the surface morphology and thermo-mechanical properties of the resulting PUEs. Aromatic diisocyanate based elastomer (P25TDIDM10) exhibited optimum UTS (8.11 MPa) and elongation at break (511.7%) whereas cycloaliphatic diisocyanate elastomer (P10IPDIDM10) showed 8.58 MPa UTS and elongation at break (511.7%). All the polyurethane elastomers were stable up to 200 °C and were degraded without melting to constant mass above 450 °C. Tg of TDI based PUE was increased to -16 oC while in IPDI series it was further shifted to 7.98 oC. In the third part of this research work, selective polyurethane elastomer P10IPDIDM10 was used, due to its superior properties, as a matrix for the synthesis of polymer based composites. Graphite, aluminium flakes and aluminium powder were used in different proportions (5-15%) as fillers in the polymer matrix composites. Incorporation of fillers enhanced the UTS with corresponding decrease in elongation at break, whereas in case of graphite, electrical properties of the composite were also improved. The present study revealed that the synthesized PUEs and composites were found promising candidates for various advanced applications.

غزل ۔۔۔ڈاکٹر  شفیق آصف

 

محبت کی کرشمہ سازیاں آواز  دیتی  ہیں
تری یادوں کی الہڑ شوخیاں آواز دیتی ہیں
ذرا سی دیر میں موسم بدلنے کا زمانہ  ہے
ہوا کے بازوئوں کی چوڑیاں آواز دیتی ہیں
مسافر لوٹنا چاہو  تو  لمحوں میں  پلٹ  جاؤ
تمہیں ساحل پہ ٹھہری کشتیاں آواز دیتی ہیں
خزاں کے خوف سے سہمے پرندو لوٹ بھی آئو
تمہیں  پھر  لہلہاتی  ٹہنیاں  آواز  دیتی  ہیں
میں جب بھی شب کے دامن پر کوئی سورج اگاتا ہوں
تری سوچوں کی گہری بدلیاں آواز دیتی ہیں
چلے جاتے ہیں  ہم  اپنا  لہو ایندھن  بنانے  کو
دھواں دیتی ہوئی جب چمنیاں آواز دیتی ہیں
ذرا سی دیر کو کچھ شادماں لمحے عطا کر دو
ذرا  سننا  غموں  کی  تلخیاں  آواز  دیتی  ہیں
شفیق احباب اکثر یاد آتے ہیں ہمیں اب  بھی
ہوا  کے ساتھ  بجتی  تالیاں  آواز  دیتی  ہیں

الدعوة الاسلامية دعوة عالمية

Allah almighty has created Human beings, the angels, and jinn for His worship alone. To guide the human beings to the right path, Allah almighty has sent many messengers to all nations and pieces of lands. Hazrat Adam (A. S.) was the first human being as well as the first Prophet of Allah on the Earth, while the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last of all in this chain. There will be no prophet after him. Now, it is the duty of every Muslims to carry and spread this universal message to the whole humanity. In this context, the message of Islam is universal. This article deals with this issue through giving proofs from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah.

Evaluation of Biosensing and Antimicrobial Applications of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles

Understanding is on the rise concerning the use of nanomaterials environmental/health management solutions. In the current study, silver and gold nanoparticles (AgNPs and AuNPs respectively) were prepared for this purpose and characterized with UV–visible, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering and zeta potential. First, spherical and prism colloidal AgNPs were capped with poly-L-arginine and tested for their biological activity. Prism shaped AgNPs exhibited stronger growth inhibitory effects against E.coli, P. aeruginosa and S. enterica, where MBC was 0.65 μg/mL), whereas it was 2.7 μg/mL for spherical ones. Maximum mortality percentage of HeLa cell line was 80% for AgNP-prism nanocomposite, capped with poly L arginine and polyvinyl pyrollidone (PLA-PVP) at 11 mg/mL concentration. It was also found that PVP capped AgNP nanoprisms were able to detect mercury (Hg2+) by colorimetric estimation (blue to yellow color); TEM and spectrophotometry revealed the change in morphology of the prismatic to spherical shaped AgNPs; energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) also confirmed the formation of nano-alloy with Hg2+. Linear relationship was found between surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for the position shift of the AgNP nanoprisms and Hg2+ (Conc. 0-5 μmol/L conc.; detection limit, 0.5 μmol/L; pH, 7 – 9). Additionally, AuNP nanoshell conjugates were using for their biosensing capacity for bacteria, such as E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. enterica and S. aureus. by colorimetric method (color change, yellow to red); bacterial concentrations upto 10 CFU/mL could be detected easily. AuNP-conjugates comprised of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) capped AuNP nanoshells , conjugated with the enzyme, β-galactosidase. The bacterial surfaces (bearing electronegative surface functional groups) could electrostatically attract CTAB capped AuNP nanoshells, whereas the enzyme, β-galactosidase was freed meanwhile. Here, chlorophenol-red-β-D-galactopyranoside (CPRG), which is yellow in color, was used as substrate to attract β-galactosidase (freed from the AuNP nanoshell complex), resulting in red chromophore chlorophenol red. With the increased concentration of bacterial cell, more absorption was seen by spectrophotometer, which clearly proved our hypothesis. Hence our studies suggest the possible antibacterial, biosensing, and anticancer applications of AgNPs and AuNPs.
