Green Synthesis and Characterization of Solanum xanthocarpum-Derived ZrO2 Nanoparticles for Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Antifungal, and Anticancer Activities A Akalya, S Sundaranayagi, G Elatharasan Journal of Environmental Nanotechnology, 2026 This research presents an environmentally sustainable approach for producing zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) utilising Solanum xanthocarpum leaf extract as both a bioreducing and stabilising agent. The formation of a tetragonal crystalline phase was confirmed by XRD analysis and the functional groups in the plant extract involved in nanoparticle stabilisation were identified by FTIR. UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated strong absorption in the UV region, while photoluminescence analysis showed distinct emission behaviour. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy displayed aggregated nanoparticle morphology, and EDAX confirmed a homogeneous distribution of zirconium and oxygen. The synthesized ZrO2 NPs demonstrated noteworthy antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans, and A. niger. Antioxidant assays using DPPH showed effective free radical scavenging, and cytotoxicity tests against A498 kidney cancer cells indicated promising anticancer activity
Tribological, Compressibility and Micro Hardness Behaviour of Al7075/SiC Composites G. Karthikeyan, T. Velmurugan, V.C. Sathish Gandhi, G. Elatharasan, S. Thulasi Journal of Physics Conference Series, 2024 The Al7075 with various weight percentages such as 6%, 9%, and 12% of SiC composites were fabricated by stir casting method. The three samples are subjected to a wear test, compressive test, and microhardness test by using a spin-on disc, Universal Testing Machine (UTM), and vicker harness tester machine. From the results, Al7075 with 12% silicon carbide showed better deformation behavior low wear behavior and high hardness strength. These behaviors of more initial fraction density, and high bore presence of silicon carbide reinforcement than others perform. The stress formability index increases with increasing initial perform fraction density at higher silicon carbide. For the composite with lower values of SiC content and with high initial perform density. From these results observed that the percentage of increasing the reinforcement gives better results compared to the lower reinforced alloy.
Microstructure, Mechanical and Corrosion Behavior of Friction Stir Processed AA6082 with Cr3C2 Particles Rajarajan Bharathikanna, Govindaraj Elatharasan Soldagem E Inspecao, 2022 Friction stir processing (FSP) is a novel method of metal surface modification during the process by the addition of strengthening particles. FSP produced refined microstructures with the development of added ceramic particles on surface metal. In this FSP, mechanical characteristics were enhanced by FSP parameters, tool spinning speed, traverse speed and the axial force of high carbon high chromium die steel (non-consumable tool). In this research, FSP technique was employed on the surface of the base metal AA6082 aluminium alloy to modify composites of metal surface utilizing Cr3C2 particles. Mechanical properties like tensile strength, processed surface hardness and microstructure were studied. This research mainly focused on the parametric optimization of FSP on AA6082 with multiple responses (tensile strength and processed surface hardness) based on Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and grey relational analysis (GRA). The significant FSP parameters were obtained by grey relational grade (GRG) with an analysis of variance tool. Axial force and traverse speed were the most significant FSP parameters, which the most influence of performance characteristic of friction stir processed specimens. The predicted values were validated by confirmation test at setting of optimum level exhibits better conformity with investigational values. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) was carried out to determine the presence of strengthening particles in the processed Aluminium alloy.
