semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that arenot present in their bulk counterparts. in this work, extremely fine and pure sno2 nanoparticles of ~1.1nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of sno2 was crystallizedby microwave heating. the particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. by xrd analysis...

Impact and friction model of nanofluid for molecular dynamics simulation was built which consists of two Cu plates and Cu-Ar nanofluid. The Cu-Ar nanofluid model consisted of eight spherical copper nanoparticles with each particle diameter of 4 nm and argon atoms as base liquid. The Lennard-Jones potential function was adopted to deal with the interactions between atoms. Thus motion states and ...

Although nanoparticles with exquisite properties have been synthesized for a variety of applications, their incorporation into functional devices is challenging owing to the difficulty in positioning them at specified sites on surfaces. In contrast with the conventional synthesis-then-assembly paradigm, scanning probe block copolymer lithography can pattern precursor materials embedded in a pol...

Herein, the preparation of neoglycoconjugates bearing mannose-6-phosphate analogues is described by: (a) synthesis of a cyclic sulfate precursor to access the carbohydrate head-group by nucleophilic displacement with an appropriate nucleophile; (b) introduction of spacers on the mannose-6-phosphate analogues via Huisgen's cycloaddition, the Julia reaction, or the thiol-ene reaction under ultras...

As the important role of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in meeting world’s energy requirement is growing, use nanoparticles lieu of, or combination with, existing EOR agents to expand EOR’s applicable range receiving significant attention. Two most actively investigated applications are: 1) wettability alteration by addition into waterflood injection water, and 2) nanoparticle-stabilized Pickering...

Immiscible displacement of one fluid by another fluid in porous media has important applications in a wide range of different technologies. Most often mentioned is hydrology and and oil recovery. From a theoretical point of view, the displacement process is very complex and hard to describe in detail. Especially, much attention has been paid to the rich variety of displacement structures that i...

objective(s): nanoparticles (nps) are known for their specific accumulation in the inflamed tissues of the colon and thus allow a selective delivery to the site of inflammation with minimum adverse effects. the main objective of this work is to attain mesalamine loaded chitosan nanoparticles as a carrier for oral delivery. methods: in this study, mesalamine loaded chitosan nanoparticles were pr...

silver nanoparticles with size of 6- 57nm were synthesized by bioreduction method from anisochilus carnosus aqueous and ethanolic extract. biosynthesized nanoparticles showed maximum antimicrobial activity against k. pneumonia (13±1.67mm), e.coli (13±1.97mm) and b. subtilis (13±1.07mm) followed by p. aeruginosa and minimum against s. aureus. the quantitative formation, characteristics and impur...
