Attempts have been made to optimize immobilization parameters, catalytic property, and stability of immobilized α-amylase in agar. The work compares natural entrapment efficiency of agar with the ionotropically cross-linked agar hydrogel, with the advantage of easy scale-up and cost and time effectiveness. Beads prepared with 3% (w/v) agar and 75 mM calcium chloride and hardened for 20 minutes were selected for further studies on the basis of entrapment efficiency (80%) and physical stability. Following entrapment, pH and temperature optima of enzyme were shifted from 6 to 6.5 and 50 to 55°C, respectively. Michaelis constant (Km) for both free and entrapped enzymes remained the same (0.83%) suggesting no change in substrate affinity. However, Vmax⁡ of entrapped enzyme decreased ~37.5-fold. The midpoint of thermal inactivation for entrapped enzyme increased by 8 ± 1°C implying its higher thermal stability. The entrapped enzyme in calcium agar bead had an Ea value of 27.49 kcal/mol compared to 17.6 kcal/mol for free enzyme indicating increased stability on entrapment. Half-life of enzyme increased ~2.2 times after entrapment in calcium agar at 60°C indicating stabilization of enzyme. The reusability of beads was size dependent. Beads with diameter <710 μm were stable and could be reused for 6 cycles with ~22% loss in activity.

Simple theoretical method is developed to study the size dependence of equation of state of nanomaterials. The isothermal compression of Ni and ε- Fe has been computed for different particle sizes. A shift in compression curve is obtained by increasing the particle size. This demonstrates the softening of the material by increasing the particle size. For larger particle size (~100 nm) the compression curve resembles with that of the bulk. This demonstrates that the nanomaterial becomes bulk for larger particle size. The results have been compared with the available experimental data. A good agreement between theory and experiment demonstrates the validity of the method proposed in the present paper.

An Au/TS-1-B catalyst, whose internal TPA template is stable below 350 °C, shows volcano-shaped activity with reaction temperature and reaches a noteworthy PO formation rate (220 gPO h−1 kgCat−1) at 260 °C. Moreover, intrinsic size-dependent selectivity is also studied.

CdTe -doped SiO 2 thin films were produced by RF magnetron co-sputtering technique. Presence of CdTe nanocrystals inside the silica matrix was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. The samples demonstrate size dependent photoluminescence. Temperature dependent photoluminescence measurements were carried out in the temperature range 15–295 K and revealed energy-emission thermal stability. This feature can be usefully applied in a production of light-emitting diodes with wavelength stability in a wide temperature range.
