The document discusses biomimicry using nanoscience by studying the compounds found in reticulated giraffe hair. Eleven major volatile compounds were identified in giraffe hair including octane, benzaldehyde, and p-cresol. These compounds may help repel ticks. The discovery of these natural compounds could inspire new innovations, such as their use in paints or developing artificial versions to repel insects. By further studying the natural production of these compounds, it may be possible to artificially synthesize similar compounds in a sustainable way.

RETICULE GIRAFFE
COMPOUNDS THAT ARE FOUND IN GIRAFFE¡¯S HAIR Compound Total ion current (TIC) (%) ?Eleven major volatile compounds were found in the dichloromethane extracts of both male and female G. c. Reticulata Octane 5.6 3,5Androstadien17-one 8.1 ?Consisted of an alkane (octane), four aldehydes (benzaldehyde, heptanal, octanal, and nonanal), a phenol (p-cresol), two alkaloids (indole and 3-methylindole), two carboxylic acids (tetradecanoic and hex- adecanoic acids), and a steroid (3,5-androstadien-17one). Benzaldehyde 3.7 Heptanal 5.3 Octanal 2.9 Nonanal 22.5 p-Cresol 5.5 Indole 6.5 ?The 3-Methylindole 14.0 Tetradecanoic acid 8.1 Hexadecanoic acid 1.9 levels of p-cresol in giraffe hair are sufficient to repel some ticks.
DETAILED STRUCTURE OF HAIR SURFACE STRUCTURE OF SKIN STRUCTURE OF MEDULLA STRUCTURE OF HAIR LONGITUDNAL CROSS SECTION OF HAIR
What can be done by this property? ?Such kind of volatile nanoparticals or nanounits can be filled in jar which will help us repelling insects, microorganisms, and ticks. It is easy to make and will help protect people from various diseases such as lime disease and malaria. ?The reticulated giraffe might inspire innovation in paint manufactures to protect the coat and finishes. This discovery will also takeaway insects from your house.
IS IT FEASIBLE and SUISTAINABLE ??? ?Idea is sustainable because all of the ingredients in it are nontoxic and fairly common. ?From studying the giraffe¡¯s hair we can watch the process of how the chemicals are made and mix together. After that, it is a simple matter of making an artificial version.
Compound ?As mentioned in earlier discussion we know composition of all compounds so we only require knowledge of temperature ,pressure conditions¡­ ?For this ,we have to study the reaction conditions in natural synthesis of that scent. Octane 5.6 3,5Androstadien17-one ARTIFICIAL SYNTHESIS Total ion current (TIC) (%) 8.1 Benzaldehyde 3.7 Heptanal 5.3 Octanal 2.9 Nonanal 22.5 p-Cresol 5.5 Indole 6.5 3Methylindole 14.0 Tetradecanoic acid 8.1 Hexadecanoic acid 1.9
