Size and shape-selective Sn(MoO4)2 nanomaterials have been synthesized for the first time using a simple hydrothermal route by the reaction of Sn(ii) chloride salt with sodium molybdate in CTAB micellar media under stirring at 60 °C temperature for about three hours. Needle-like and flake-like Sn(MoO4)2 nanomaterials were synthesized by optimizing the CTAB to metal salt molar ratio and by contr...

Supercritical fluid (SCF) technology has become an important tool of materials processing in the lasttwo decades. Supercritical CO2 and H2O are extensively being used in the preparation of a great variety ofnanomaterials. The greatest requirement in the application of nanomaterials is its size and morphology control, which determine the application potential of the nanoparticles, as...

Tumor vaccines are a novel approach to the treatment of malignancy, and are attracting the attention of the medical profession. Nanomaterials have significant advantages in the preparation of a tumor vaccine, including their ability to penetrate and target cancer tissue and their antigenic properties. In this review, we focus on several nanomaterials, ie, carbon nanotubes, nanoemulsions, nanosi...

As a nanotechnology has been actively applied to the overall areas of scientific fields, it is necessary to understand the characteristic features, physical behaviors and the potential effects of exposure to nanomaterials and their toxicity. In this article we review the immunological influences induced by several nanomaterials and emphasize establishment of the animal models to estimate the im...

A series of novel one-dimensional carbon nanomaterials have been synthesized on an alkali-element-modified Cu catalyst, via a simple chemical vapour deposition method. The alkali-element doping of the Cu catalyst plays a key role in the controllable synthesis of carbon nanomaterials, signifying a novel approach to modifying the Cu catalyst. Owing to their unique morphology and fine quality, the...
