Optical biosensors provide an intriguing path for continuous and rapid detection of target analyte in order to enhance health outcomes. In these recent years nanomaterials have been largely focused in order to design highly efficient biosensors. As Noble metal nanoparticles are well known for their unique properties like plasmonic property, superconductivity and biocompatibility, were extensively used in different scientific field. Noble metal like gold, silver and platinum nanoparticles are used in designing different biosensors. These biosensors were widely used in virus detection of different respiratory related health problems like COVID-19. In this mini review we addressed the optical biosensors fabricated by using noble metal nanomaterials which are used in rapid detection with highly sensitive and selective detection methods with low Limit of detection in recent pandemic period. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock589273', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 29 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/AMM.908.51">Optical Graphene for Biosensor Application: A Review</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Maya Pai, Sheetal Batakurki, Vinayak Adimule, Basappa C.

GO has good water dispersibility, biocompatibility, and high affinity for specific biomolecules due to the coexistence of hydrophobic domains from pristine graphite structure and hydrophilic oxygen containing functional groups, as well as properties of graphene itself that are partly dependent on preparation methods. The high signal output and a strong potential for rapid industrial growth rate, graphene-based materials, such as graphene oxide (GO), are receiving substantial interest in bio sensing applications. Some of graphene's most enticing qualities are its superior conductivity and mechanical capabilities (such as toughness and elasticity), as well as its high reactivity to chemical compounds. The existence of waves on the surface (natural or created) is another property/variable that has immense potential if properly utilized. Single cell detection can be performed by optical biosensors based on graphene. The present state of knowledge about the use of graphene for bio sensing is reviewed in this article. We briefly cover the use of graphene for bio sensing applications in general, with a focus on wearable graphene-based biosensors. The intrinsic graphene ripples and their impact on graphene bio sensing capabilities are extensively examined. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock587801', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 51 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/AMM.908.69">Electrochemical Sensor Applications of Nanoparticle Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes to Detect Various Neurotransmitters: A Review</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Rayappa Shrinivas Mahale, Vasantha Kumar Shamanth, Krishna Hemanth, Rajendrachari Shashanka, P.C.

Any abnormality in their behaviour can lead to huge psychological ailments such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Schizophrenia. During diagnosing and assessing mental diseases, it is critical to discover distinct measures of different neurotransmitters present. A combination of nanomaterials, proteins, and polymers are employed to create suitable detecting and sensing component systems. Electrochemical detection has been widely employed for in-vivo detection, with FSCV emerging as the most promising technology to date due to advantages such as high sensitivities, simple device structure, and facile downsizing. Excessive background noise and signal, restricted target selectivity, declination with time, and the device fouling are all issues that in-vivo electrochemical neurotransmitter indications encounter. Nanomaterials have sparked a tremendous focus in recent years owing to their diverse properties. CPEs are amongst the safest and most ecologically beneficial electrodes with a vast scope of applications due to their incredibly simple and rapid manufacturing method, lower back - ground current, relatively inexpensive, adaptability to numerous modifiers and modifying techniques, so on and so forth. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock587726', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 69 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/AMM.908.89">Nanotechnology Adds Value to Optical and Sensor Characteristics of the Composite Material</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Ripul Mehrotra, Satyendra N.

The total mass of fruit rind in a watermelon reaches around 30 percent and this fruit rind can increase the quantity of organic waste in Indonesia. The outer portion of the watermelon rind has a green layer containing a large amount of anthocyanin and a white layer containing flavonoids. In this study, the extract of watermelon rind containing anthocyanins and flavonoids was protected from damaging conditions using the ionic gelation encapsulation method. Chitosan (CN) was used as a natural polymer in this encapsulation method and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) was used as an ionic crosslinking agent. The total of flavonols content (TF), microstructure test, in vitro releasing test, and shelf life of microcapsules were observed in the various ratio between watermelon rind and the solvent. From the process, can be concluded that higher watermelon skin levels will produce the most flavonoid microcapsules (70g/35 mL). At 70g/35 mL or 2:1 g/mL watermelon skin levels give the best flavonoid release test results, especially if it will be applied to the pharmaceutical industry, which follows a controlled release method. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock582159', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 113 </div> </div> <div class="item-block"> <div class="item-link"> <a href="/AMM.908.119">Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B Dye by Nanocomposites: A Review</a> </div> <div class="item-link volume-authors"> <div class="semibold-middle-text"> Authors: Kiran Kenchappa Kiran, D.

To remove/degrade dyes, many approaches (coagulation, membrane separation, and adsorption) have been investigated. However, the use of semiconductor-assisted materials in conjunction with sustainable solar energy has emerged as a possible solution to the problem. Although single component photocatalysts have been tested, composites of semiconductor materials are being employed owing to their low efficiency and stability due to the high recombination rate electron-hole pair and inefficient visible light absorption. By combining two or more semiconductor components, semiconductor heterojunction systems are created. Overall stability is increased by the synergistic impact of their features, such as adsorption and better charge carrier movement. This paper discusses current advances in advanced nanocomposite materials utilized as photocatalysts, as well as the utilization of heterojunctions, crystallinity, and doping to improve photocatalytic characteristics. The conclusion includes a summary, research gaps, and a forecast for the future. This study will aid in the development of efficient heterostructure photodegradation systems by providing a comprehensive appraisal of recent advances in demonstrating effective nanocomposites for photodegradation of Rhodamine B dye under ideal circumstances. </div> <div> <a data-readmore="{ block: '#abstractTextBlock588444', lines: 2, expandText: '...more', collapseText: '...less' }"></a> </div> <div class="page-number semibold-large-text"> 119 </div> </div> <div class="block-bottom-pagination"> <div class="pager-info"> <p>Showing 1 to 10 of 14 Paper Titles</p> </div> <div class="pagination-container"><ul class="pagination"><li class="active"><span>1</span></li><li><a href="/AMM.908/2">2</a></li><li class="PagedList-skipToNext"><a href="/AMM.908/2" rel="next">></a></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="social-icon-popup"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Scientific.Net.Ltd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon facebook-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Scientific_Net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon twitter-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/scientificnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon linkedin-popup-icon social-icon"></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="sc-footer"> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="footer-menu col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <ul class="list-inline menu-font"> <li><a href="/ForLibraries">For Libraries</a></li> <li><a href="/ForPublication/Paper">For Publication</a></li> <li><a href="/insights" target="_blank">Insights</a></li> <li><a href="/DocuCenter">Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/AboutUs">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/PolicyAndEthics/PublishingPolicies">Policy & Ethics</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Contacts">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Imprint">Imprint</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/PrivacyPolicy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/Home/Sitemap">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/Conferences">All Conferences</a></li> <li><a href="/special-issues">All Special Issues</a></li> <li><a href="/news/all">All News</a></li> <li><a href="/open-access-partners">Open Access Partners</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="line-footer"></div> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Scientific.Net.Ltd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon facebook-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Scientific_Net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon twitter-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/scientificnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Scientific.Net"><i class="inline-icon linkedin-footer-icon social-icon"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="line-footer"></div> <div class="footer-fluid"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12 footer-copyright"> <p> © 2025 Trans Tech Publications Ltd.
