  Two bioactive nickel(II) compounds of mefenamic acid (Hmef) with substituted Aplha-diimines as co-ligands have been characterised using various spectroscopic methods and evaluated for cytotoxicity, DNA interaction and ...
• Advancements in in-cylinder and after-treatment strategies for mitigating pollutants from diesel engines: A critical review 

  Da Costa, S.; Bukkarapu, K.R.; Fernandes, R.; Krishnasamy, A.; Morajkar, P.P. (Energy and Fuels. 38(11); 2024; 9218-9261.)

  Although diesel after-treatment techniques demonstrate a substantial decrease in tailpipe emissions, the primary goal continues to be attaining nearly zero emissions to comply with current regulatory requirements and ...
• Synthesis, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity of newly synthesized carbon dots derived from dibasic carboxylic acids via conventional microwave-assisted method 

  Khobrekar, P.; Fernandes, F.; Angadi, A.; Volvoikar, D.L.; Chari, V.R.; Nadkarni, V.S.; Kowshik, M.; Bugde, S.T. (Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology. NYP; 2025; NYP.)

  A simple, rapid, single-step microwave-assisted method was developed to prepare CQDs with narrow size distribution using dibasic carboxylic acids as a carbon source. The synthesized CQDs were well characterized using ...
