Techniques for physicochemical characterization of nanomaterials

Techniques for physicochemical characterization of nanomaterials.

Advances in nanotechnology have opened up a new era of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and traumatic injuries. Nanomaterials, including those with potential for clinical applications, possess novel physicochemical properties that have an impact on their physiological interactions, from the molecular level to the systemic level. There is a lack of standardized methodologies or re...

Applications and physicochemical characterization of nanomaterials in environmental, health, and safety studies

As commercially manufactured nanomaterials become more commonplace, they have the potential to enter ecological and biological environments during their lifecycle of production, distribution, use or disposal. Despite rapid advances in the production and application of nanomaterials, little is known about how they may interact with the environment or affect human health. This research investigat...

Contribution of engineered nanomaterials physicochemical properties to mast cell degranulation

The rapid development of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has grown dramatically in the last decade, with increased use in consumer products, industrial materials, and nanomedicines. However, due to increased manufacturing, there is concern that human and environmental exposures may lead to adverse immune outcomes. Mast cells, central to the innate immune response, are one of the earliest sensor...
