An optical sensor based on pyranine immobilized aminopropyl-modified mesoporous silica films was developed for paraquat detection in aqueous solutions. electrochemically assisted self-assembly method used to deposit film fluorine-doped tin oxide glass. The obtained were modified with various concentrations of 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) before the immobilization pyranine. Cyclic volta...

Objective(s): Study and development of antifouling nanosystem for conjugation of drugs were attracting great attention in recent years. The present study aimed to develop novel curcumin-loaded silica nanoparticles containing zwitterionic coating as an antifouling system to provide protein corona free nanoformulations for curcumin. Materials and Methods: Silica nanoparticles were prepared ...

In the context of removal biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) from food and beverages production wastewaters, this paper reports capabilities SBA-15 modified with (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (S-APTES) N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]aniline (S-Aniline) in glucose, fructose sucrose at very high concentrations (350,000 mg/L for 350,000 170,000 sucrose), i.e. sugars most widely used as sweeteners be...

Despite extensive studies of the amino-functionalized silica surfaces, a comprehensive investigation of the effects of configuration and hydrolysis of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilan (APTES) molecules attached on silica has not been studied yet. Therefore, the methods of quantum mechanics were used for the study of configuration and hydrolysis forms of APTES molecules attached on the surface. For t...

This report investigates the sensing characteristics of polysilicon wire (PSW) glucose biosensors, including thickness characteristics and line-width effects on detection limits, linear range and interference immunity with membranes coated by micropipette/spin-coating and focus-ion-beam (FIB) processed capillary atomic-force-microscopy (C-AFM) tip scan/coating methods. The PSW surface was modif...

Exploiting and combining different properties of nanomaterials is considered a potential route for next generation cancer therapies. Magnetic nanowires (NWs) have shown good biocompatibility and a high level of cellular internalization. We induced cancer cell death by combining the chemotherapeutic effect of doxorubicin (DOX)-functionalized iron NWs with the mechanical disturbance under a low f...
