Nanotechnology has been advanced since the last decades. Among all nanomaterials that have been developed, nanosilver is the most frequently used nanoparticles. Its release into natural water bodies is inevitable due to its broad applications. Nanosilver (nAg) was prepared via Tollens method using. The morphology, size distribution and average size of the obtained nAg was […]
Metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties, which render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. This paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. Mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared […]
The aim of the present study was to develop Exemestane loaded polymeric nanoparticles for improved oral bioavailability of Exemestane. Exemestane loaded nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method with Eudragit RL 100 and Eudragit L 100 as polymers and Pluronic® F-68 as surfactant. The influence of various formulation factors (drug: polymer ratio and concentration of […]
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. In the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using seed aqueous extract of Olea europaea (Oe) and its antibacterial activity. UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), […]
The aims of the study were to investigate the effect of poly(ε -caprolactone) (PCL) and nano- SiO2 within the thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends on the rate and extent of starch enzymatic hydrolysis using enzymes α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. The results of this study have revealed that blends with nano-SiO2 content at 6 wt% exhibited a significantly […]
Nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. Copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. In this study CuO nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel […]
In the current paper, finite element method is employed for numerical simulations and the study of influential parameters on elastic modulus of polymer-matrix nano-composites. Effects of different key parameters including particle elastic modulus, interphase elastic modulus, matrix elastic modulus, interphase thickness and particle volume fraction on total elastic modulus of nano-composite materials are observed in […]
In study, spherical Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesized by chemical reduction method from a metal precursor silver nitrate in presence of an anionic surfactant and strong reducing agent. In this experimental work, SNPs are synthesized in presence of different concentration of stabilizing agent and effect of stabilizing agent on size distribution of SNPs have been […]
In this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (II) Schiff base complexes, [Cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-N3)2(N3)2] (1) and [Cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-N3)2(N3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles. The crystallinity, purity and morphology of the CuO nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning […]
Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using Cadmium acetate and ammonia solution. Presence of chemical species, were verified by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrum. From X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum the particle size, d-spacing value and structure of the nanoparticle were analysed. Size of the nanoparticles and the elemental composition were detected […]
