Abstract:The thermal structure and morphology of 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (curcumin) nanocrystals were investigated deploying thermogravimetric and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. The mass loss was identified between 509-673 K. FESEM images of powder curcumin revealed a fluffy cotton-like morphology with a nearly spherical shape in nanoparticle scale. In addition, the AC conductivity and dielectric features of curcumin as a disk have been examined a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
