Nanotechnology a rapidly developing industry can have substantial impacts on economy, society and environment. Potential health and environmental effects of nanoparticles need to be thoroughly assessed before their widespread commercialization. Though there are few studies on cytotoxicity of nanoparticles on mammalian and human cell lines, there are hardly any reports on behavior of nanoparticl...

Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society DNA-Templated Synthesis of Pt Nanoparticles on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and their Electrocatalytic Properties QIANQIAN LIU, LIFENG DONG1, Missouri State University — Platinum (Pt) supported on singlewalled carbon nanotubes is one of the most efficient catalysts for both methanol and ethanol electroxidations. However, there i...

mg(oh)2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a rapid microwave reaction. the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (sds as anionic surfactant) and cetyl tri-methyl ammonium bromide (ctab as cationic surfactant) on the morphology of magnesium hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. multi wall carbon nano tubes was organo-modified for better dispersion in cellulose acetate matrix. the influence of m...

background diatomite coated by nanoparticles of copper and zinc mixed oxides were used to investigate catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide. objectives aim of this paper was to investigatediatomite performance as a supporting host to confine the cuo and zno nanoparticles and its catalytic activity for carbon monoxide oxidation. materials and methods the prepared catalysts were characterized by...

Nanotechnology is gaining tremendous impetus in the present century due to its capability of modulating metals into their nano size, which drastically changes the chemical, physical and optical properties of metals. The extremely small size of nanoparticles help them to occupy a greater surface area and hence a better accessibility and targeted action. Nanoparticles can overcome existing drug r...

Nanoparticles of carbon black in cigarette smoke trigger inflammation in the lung.

in this study, zno nanoparticles were loaded on activated carbon prepared from almond shell (zno-np-ac). then, this novel material applied as an efficient adsorbent for the ultrasonic assisted simultaneous removal of basic blue 41(bb41) and basic red 46 (br46) in binary solution.  the efficiency of proposed activated carbon was enhanced by acid treatment and subsequent modification by physical ...

a carbon ionic liquid electrode (cile) modified with tio2-fe nanoparticles was constructed by incorporating tio2-fe nanoparticles into the paste matrix. under the optimized experimental conditions, using differential pulse voltammetry (dpv), the oxidation of thiocyanate and oxalate were occurred at potentials of 0.740 v and 1.010 v, respectively, at the surface of the modified electrode. observi...

A very simple method for synthesizing nanosize-controllable (4–40 nm) metals (Cu, Ag, Pd, Rh and Ni) or alloys within carbon shells has been developed. The thickness of the carbon shell that prevents the core metals from being aggregated or oxidized ranges from 3–5 nm. In addition, the synthesized metal nanoparticles exhibit a correlation between dpZ/R (Z = valence of metal and R = atomic radiu...

We have demonstrated that multicomponent carbon nanotube micropatterns, in which different nanotubes are interposed in an intimate fashion, can be prepared by pyrolytic growth of carbon nanotubes on interposed micropatterns of different metal nanoparticles generated by template-free pulsed electrodeposition of metal-containing salts onto a photolithographically prepatterned conductive surface a...
