Co3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple Co-precipitation reaction between precursors of cobalt and NH3. The effect of different parameters such as concentration of NH3 and precursors of cobalt on the size and photocatalytic activity of the products was investigated. The achieved nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, field emission scanning electron mic...

UNLABELLED Fluorescent biomaterials have attracted significant research efforts in the past decades. Herein, we report a new series of biodegradable, fluorescence imaging-enabled copolymers, biodegradable photoluminescent poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (BPLP-co-PLGA). Photoluminescence characterization shows that BPLP-co-PLGA solutions, films and nanoparticles all exhibit strong, tunable and stable...

Synthetic dyes comprise a large group of organic, organic salt and organometallic compounds which number in the thousands. Most individual dyes are assigned colour index (CI) numbers which helps to identify structure and properties as well as identity where a series of names have been used by the manufacturers for the same dye. Pigments are also listed and can be either organic or inorganic in ...

Background: Organic dyes are used for a wide variety of purposes including their applications in textiles, foods, printing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Thus, these are industrially very important and their analysis is always required before putting to particular use. Methods: To develop the extremely efficient thin layer chromatographic system for the resolution of co-existing dyes, the silic...

The primary global source of water pollution is industrial and textile dyes. These industries produce Highly stable organic dyes that are released untreated into nearby ponds, lakes rivers. As ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) inexpensive, non-toxic, chemically thermally stable, have a higher UV absorption capacity, they an effective nano-catalyst for removing hazardous contaminants such as inorganic fro...
