Core−shell nanocomposites based on Au nanoparticle@zinc−ironembedded porous carbons (Au@Zn−Fe−C) derived from metal−organic frameworks were prepared as bifunctional electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A single Au nanoparticle of 50−100 nm in diameter was encapsulated within a porous carbon shell embedded with Zn−Fe compounds. The resu...

Thiswork highlights the laser-based aqueous synthesis and processing of nanocomposites, composed of zinc or iron nanoparticles embedded in a N-Vinylcaprolactam microgel matrix, with potential applicability as ion releasing fiber pads forwound healing. An in situ laser process formicrogel synthesis is developed and optimized for high embedded nanoparticle yields, evaluating influences of laser r...

NiFe2O4 (nickel ferrite), ZnFe2O4 (zinc ferrite) and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (nickel-zinc ferrite) were prepared by mechanochemical route in a planetary ball mill starting from mixture of the appropriate quantities of the Ni(OH)2/Fe(OH)3, Zn(OH)2/Fe(OH)3 and Ni(OH)2/Zn(OH)2/Fe(OH)3 hydroxide powders. In order to monitor the progress of chemical reaction and confirm phase formation, powder samples obtai...

Gasification experiments in this study were performed a 2–4 MW indirect gasifier coupled to semi-commercial CFB combustor at Chalmers University of Technology. Experiments carried out during 13 days with automotive shredder residue (ASR), giving unique opportunity investigate the bed material under realistic conditions and long residence times. The metal rich ash was accumulated bed, gaining so...

This work investigated the preparation of chitosan nanoparticles used as carriers for doxorubicin for targeted cancer delivery. Prepared nanocarriers were stabilized and functionalized via zinc ions incorporated into the chitosan nanoparticle backbone. We took the advantage of high expression of sarcosine in the prostate cancer cells. The prostate cancer targeting was mediated by the AntiSar an...

Dendritic cell-based cancer immunotherapy requires tumour antigens to be delivered efficiently into dendritic cells and their migration to be monitored in vivo. Nanoparticles have been explored as carriers for antigen delivery, but applications have been limited by the toxicity of the solvents used to make nanoparticles, and by the need to use transfection agents to deliver nanoparticles into c...

The magnetic adsorbent nanoparticle was modified using cationic surface active agent. Zinc ferrite nanoparticle and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide were used as an adsorbent and a surface active agent, respectively. Dye removal ability of the surface modified nanoparticle as an adsorbent was investigated. Direct Green 6 (DG6), Direct Red 31 (DR31) and Direct Red 23 (DR23) were used. The charact...

In this study, influence of nano-zinc oxide treatment on the UV protection properties widely used apparel fabrics including flax, polyester, and nylon, were investigated by means ultraviolet factor (UPF) assessment. Nanoparticle content nylon determined to be 1.2, 0.9, 1.5 wt%, respectively. The UPFs non-treated in range 2.2 entire region. An improvement UPF was obtained after introducing nanop...
