UNLABELLED Incorporation of metal nanoparticles into active layers of organic solar cells is one of the promising light trapping approaches. The size of metal nanoparticles is one of key factors to strong light trapping, and the size of thermally evaporated metal nanoparticles can be tuned by either post heat treatment or surface modification of substrates. We deposited Ag nanoparticles on ITO ...

Tamoxifen is the drug of choice as hormonal therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers and can reduce risk cancer recurrence. However, oral tamoxifen has a low bioavailability due to liver intestinal metabolic passes. To overcome this problem utilize potential its maximum, inorganic nanoparticle carriers have been exploited tested increase bioavailability. Biocompatibility unique magn...

Recently, graphene and graphene-based materials have been increasingly used for various biological applications due to their extraordinary physicochemical properties. Here, we demonstrate the anticancer properties and apoptosis-inducing ability of silver doped highly reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites synthesized by employing green approach. These nano composites (PGE-HRG-Ag) were synthesize...

Synthesis of ZnO-Ag heterostructure nanoparticles was carried out by a precipitation method with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a stabilizer for antimicrobial and thermal studies. ZnO-Ag nanoparticles were obtained from various weight percentages of added AgNO₃ relative to Zn precursors for evaluating the best composition with enhanced functional properties. The ZnO-Ag/CNCs samples were chara...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles using seaweeds are fascinating high research attention nowadays and also gaining center of attention in biomedical applications. In this work, we have synthesized biocompatible and functionalized silver nanoparticles using an aqueous extract of seaweed Enteromorpha compressa as a reducing as well as stabilizing agent and their efficient antimicrobial and antican...

the main objective of this study was to produce ldpe active films containing metallic nanoparticles (ag, zno and cuo) and to investigate their physical, mechanical and anti-microbial characteristics. three types of metallic nanoparticles at concentrations of 1% (w/w) were added to low density polyethylene (ldpe) and the films were prepared using melt extrusion technique. sem results indicated r...

Nanomaterials are widely used in health and biomedical applications, however, only a few studies investigate their toxic effects.  The present report signifies a contribution to the study of the toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on   E. coli cells, which is a model organism of anthropogenic pollution. The toxicity of nanoparticles depends on their chemical and surface properties, shape and ...
