In this research, novel conductive nanocomposites containing urethane acrylate (UA) andpolyaniline/copper (II) oxide nanocomposites (PANi-CuO) were synthesized. At firstpolyaniline/CuO nanocomposites with different amount of CuOnanoparticleswere prepared bychemical oxidationpolymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxydisulfate as an oxidizingagent. Afterward, UA-PANi-...

Increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) is likely to result in release of these particles to the aquatic environment where the NPs may eventually accumulate in sediment. However, little is known about the potential ecotoxicity of sediment-associated engineered NPs. We here consider the case of metal oxide NPs using CuO to understand if the effects of NPs differ from micron-sized partic...

the efficient and environmentally friendly method for the one-pot synthesis of polyhydroquinolines has been developed in the presence of cuo nanoparticles. the multi-component reactions of aldehydes, dimedone, ethyl acetoacetate andammonium acetate were carried out under solvent-free conditions to afford some polyhydroquinoline derivatives. this method provides several advantages including high...

copper nanoparticles were fabricated by electro-reduction of cuso4solution in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) cationic surfactant as an additive through potentiostatic method. the prepared copper nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and electrochemical methods. the sem images reveal that the nanoparticles with diameters at about 70 n...

DNA-directed assembly of nano-objects as a means to manufacture advanced nanomaterial architectures has been the subject of many studies. However, most applications have dealt with noble metals as there are fundamental difficulties to work with other materials. In this work, we propose a generic and systematic approach for functionalizing and characterizing oxide surfaces with single-stranded D...

Objective(s): Antibacterial and antifungal nanocomposites are widely used in food packaging and pharmaceutical and medicine industries. Among the polymers of these nanocomposites, epoxy coatings are commonly used for health and industrial applications. The present study aimed to synthesize CuO nanoparticles using the chemical reduction method and characterized them by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vi...

The petroleum industry requires the best materials to reverse the rock wettability to water-wet state which give significantly improved oil recovery.Nanoparticles are suggested as enhanced oil recovery potential agents to decrease viscosity and alter the wettability of reservoir towards more water-wet. This study provides new insights into CuO nanoparticles effects on wett...

For the first time, ordered mesoporous ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized by a template method. The electroplating after chemical plating method was creatively used to form copper film on the surface of the prepared ZnO, and then a CuO film-decorated ordered porous ZnO composite (CuO/ZnO) was obtained by a high-temperature oxidation method. In2O3 was loaded into the prepared CuO film-ZnO b...
