alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...

These substances, containing hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions atoms (with leeway at both ends of that range), have rapidly evolved the potential to impact virtually every area of our physical world—health, food, engineering, transportation, energy. In many cases, nanomaterials are already part of our world. Yet unlike chemical and “normal” engineering materials, there is no accepte...

Nanomaterials have shown tremendous potentials to impact the broad field of biological sensing. Nanomaterials, with extremely small sizes and appropriate surface modifications, allow intimate interaction with target biomolecules. [...].

Besides the European Union (EU) Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of CHemicals (REACH), the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) is probably the single most important piece of environmental legislation in Europe when it comes to dealing with nanomaterials in the future given their widespread and dispersive use. Despite of the importance of the WFD, the WFD has ...

In recent years, the availability and use of various antibiotics and antimicrobial agents have resulted in increase of drug resistant pathogens. Therefore, scientist’s attention has been diverted to find a suitable replacement for antimicrobial treatment. Graphene (G), as a two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) has a unique physicochemical properties including thermal, optical ...

We demonstrated a simple, in situ reduction route to the synthesis of two-dimensional graphene oxide/SiO(2) (GSCN) hybrid nanostructures consisting of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported on the both sides of GSCN. The as-prepared GSCN/Au NPs hybrid nanomaterials exhibited good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. This approach provided a useful platform based on GO hybrid nano...

BACKGROUND Predictive modeling of the biological effects of nanomaterials is critical for industry and policymakers to assess the potential hazards resulting from the application of engineered nanomaterials. METHODS We generated an experimental dataset on the toxic effects experienced by embryonic zebrafish due to exposure to nanomaterials. Several nanomaterials were studied, such as metal na...
