Magnetic properties of biogenic selenium nanomaterials

Electrocoagulation of colloidal biogenic selenium.

Colloidal elemental selenium (Se(0)) adversely affects membrane separation processes and aquatic ecosystems. As a solution to this problem, we investigated for the first time the removal potential of Se(0) by electrocoagulation process. Colloidal Se(0) was produced by a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens and showed limited gravitational settling. Therefore, iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) sacrificia...

Multifunctional Magnetic Nanomaterials

Magnetic nanomaterials are the category of nanomaterials that capable to be influenced externally with controllable size and, in the presence of magnetic field. The magnetic nanomaterials are in focus of most of the research recently because of the potential benefits exhibited by these materials. In this paper the applications of magnetic nanomaterials such as biomedicine (tissue specific targe...

Silica -magnetic inorganic hybrid nanomaterials as versatile sensing platform

Several hybrid sensing materials, which are organized by interaction of organic molecules onto inorganic supports, have been developed as a novel and hopeful class of hybrid sensing probes. The hybrid silica-magnetic based sensors provide perfect properties for production of various devices in sensing technology. The hybridization of silica and magnetic NPs as biocompatible, biodegradable and s...

Adsorption of zinc by biogenic elemental selenium nanoparticles

Immunological properties of engineered nanomaterials.

Most research on the toxicology of nanomaterials has focused on the effects of nanoparticles that enter the body accidentally. There has been much less research on the toxicology of nanoparticles that are used for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery or imaging, in which the nanoparticles are deliberately placed in the body. Moreover, there are no harmonized standards for assessing th...
