statement of the problem: during the orthodontic treatment, microbial plaques may accumulate around the brackets and cause caries, especially in high-risk patients. finding ways to eliminate this microbial plaque seems to be essential. purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effects of nano copper oxide (cuo) and nano zinc oxide (zno) coated brackets against streptococcu...

Copper based nanoparticles have an immense potential in the future of anticancer therapy. Various copper inorganic nanoparticles and organic framework complexes have been extensively studied since the last decade for their effect on cancer cell growth inhibition and tumor regression. In this review we have summarised the anticancer activity of few such nanoparticles of copper and organo-copper ...

The one-pot synthesis of symmetrical triaryl amines using aryl halides and 5-Methyl-1,3,4-Thiadiazole-2-Amine as a nitrogen-transfer reagent is reported. Copper oxide nanoparticles that does not require the presence of any additional ligand, improved rate and facility of the synthesis of triaryl amines. The introduction of a new N-source, using green solvents PEG/H2O, normal atmospheric conditi...

We find that nearly monodisperse copper oxide nanoparticles prepared via the thermal decomposition of a Cu(I) precursor exhibit exceptional activity toward CO oxidation in CO/O2/N2 mixtures. Greater than 99.5% conversion of CO to CO2 could be achieved at temperatures less than 250 degrees C for over 12 h. In addition, the phase diagram and pathway for CO oxidation on Cu2O (100) is computed by a...

This paper is focused on the characterisation and demonstration of Newtonian behaviour of salt at both high and low shear rate for sodium and potassium nitrate eutectic mixture (60/40) ranging from 250 °C to 500 °C. Analysis of published and experimental data was carried out to correlate all the numbers into one meaningful 4th order polynomial equation. Addition of a low amount of copper oxide ...

Nanocomposites based on anodic titanium oxide nanotubes with copper nanoparticles were formed and their structural, optical, electrophysical properties studied. Defects in the structure of samples identified by electron paramagnetic resonance it was shown that, as a result deposition, CuO surface nanotubes. It found that conductivity decreases several orders magnitude an increase number deposit...

In the recent decades, metallic nanoparticles have been widely used in various industries due to their wide range of applications1, 2. Nanoparticles have unique electrical, physical, chemical and optical properties3. Nowadays copper is highly regarded due to its specific catalytic, optical, electrical and mechanical characteristics4. Copper nanoparticles have great applications as heat transfer...
