Cancer prevails to be one of the main reasons of death across the globe. A large group of drugs and other therapies exist in the market for cancer treatment, yet, these conventional therapies have huge drawbacks such as low-specificity, off-target toxicity, and multidrug resistance that impact the standard of living of the patients. The concept […]
In present research, we synthesized cobalt-based silica nanocomposites (Co-SiO2) from cobalt nitrate [Co(NO3)2] and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) precursors by using a simple sol-gel method followed by supercritical drying techniques. The physicochemical and textual properties of the as synthesized nano composites were thoroughly investigated. The results indicated that the Co-SiO2 aerogels demonstrated homogeneous dispersion cobalt nanoparticles within […]
By applying B3LYP/6-31G* time dependent density functional level of theory and sum-over-state (SOS) approach, the static and frequency dependent polarizability and second hyperpolarizability properties of the , , and cages have been studied. The polarizability and second hyperpolarizability properties of cage have been studied by considering effects of Li, Na and K atoms encapsulation in […]
Solid waste disposal and accumulation from various packaging materials made of synthetic polymers have led to intensified environmental concerns during the last decades. However, extensive research has been conducted on bio-nanocomposites as an alternative material for synthetic polymers in packaging applications during recent years. In this study, gelatin-based films modified with nano-caly and chitosan are […]
Nanoscale co-delivery systems are advanced examples of combination therapies that can provide better therapeutic performance. Here, we tried to improve the solubility, bioavailability, synergistic, and potentiation properties of docetaxel (DTX) using co-loading of DTX and quercetin (Qu) into PCL-PEG-PCL-based nanocarrier. To this end, PCL-PEG-PCL copolymer synthesized, then, DTX and DTX/Qu loaded into this nanocarrier, separately, […]
In-situ polymerization method was adapted to prepare a novel tin cerium phosphate-polyaniline nano composite ion exchange material. The physico-chemical properties of the material were determined using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray diffraction study showed that the composite material formed is highly crystalline in […]
Iron oxide nanoparticles are smart materials that have been commonly used in medicine for diagnostic imaging, drug delivery, and therapeutic applications. In this study, Iron oxide nanoparticles and Doxorubicin (DOX)- Chrysin (Chr), were absorbed into triblock copolymer (PCL-PEG-PCL) for narrow behavior. PCL-PEG triblock copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) with polyethylene glycol […]
III-Nitride NanoWire array Solar Cells (NWSCs) combine the inherent properties of III-N semiconductors with waveguiding and confinement properties of nanowire arrays. In the present paper, some design guidelines of NWSCs made from Indium-Gallium-Nitride InGaN alloys are presented. Firstly, a detailed balance analysis was performed to show the importance of using InGaN materials to effectively convert […]
In this article, the growth kinetic and optical property of amorphous carbon (a-C) nanolayers deposited by ion beam sputtering deposition technique on glass substrates are investigated. The atomic force microscopy is used to measure the variation of surface roughness versus deposition time. According to the calculations, the roughness of thin films increases during the growth […]
With the emerging newer energy storage applications, transition metal vanadates are booming up as a better catalyst. Among all the transition metal vanadates, nickel vanadate nanoparticles (Ni3V2O8 NPs), are considered as a promising material with electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activity. We herein report circular and ovular structured Ni3V2O8 NPs by hydrothermal route without using any capping […]
