Abstract In this study, gold nanoplates were synthesized using plant molecules (gallic acid) following a kinetic control mode. The growth of is mainly due to the specific adsorption capping agents on certain crystal facets. Through systematical characterizations, it found that distance between two oxygen atoms in ortho carbonyl compounds matches well with lattice spacing (111) facets exactly, w...

We report a new self-assembly pathway that leads to supported and hierarchically organized gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays on solid substrates such as glass slide, thermal oxide, photopolymer film, and mica. Using the nanoparticle micelle as a building block, hierarchical gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays were prepared by a hydrothermal nucleation and growth process through self-ass...

AIM The aim of this work was to develop pH-responsive nanoparticles encapsulating CdtB and to demonstrate that these particles represent a potential therapeutic agent for gastric cancer. MATERIALS & METHODS Chitosan/heparin nanoparticle-encapsulated CdtB was prepared and the delivery efficiency was monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The molecular basis of the nanoparticle-encaps...

One of the best and the most active ways for surveying thermal behaviour of materials is using differential scanning calorimetry. In this paper, the authors have studied thermal behaviour for Schiff base ligand and their synthesized Cobalt, Nickel complexes. In this method, the sample is opposed to a controlled temperature change and its physical properties. Here we studied melting point and Tg...

we have performed a density functional theory investigation on the structural and electronic properties of pristine and nitrogen-doped tio2 anatase nanoparticles as the adsorbents for removal and degradation of hydrazine molecules in the environment. we have presented the most stable adsorption configurations and examined the interaction of hydrazine molecule with these doped and undoped nanopa...

The nucleation of nanoparticles in the exhaust of a modern light-duty diesel vehicle was investigated on a chassis dynamometer. This laboratory study is focused on the influence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on nucleation of volatile nanoparticles. Different organic compounds were added to the dilution air of the particle sampling under different sampling conditions. Sample temperature a...

The mechanical behavior of TiO2 nanoparticle-reinforced resin-based dental composites was characterized in this work using a three-dimensional nanoscale representative volume element. The impacts of nanoparticle volume fraction, aspect ratio, stiffness, and interphase zone between the resin matrix and nanoparticle on the bulk properties of the composite were characterized. Results clearly demon...

The increasing use of nanomaterials raises concerns about the long-term effects of chronic nanoparticle exposure on human health. However, nanoparticle exposure is difficult to evaluate non-invasively using current measurement techniques. Here we show that the skin is an important site of nanoparticle accumulation following systemic administration. Mice injected with high doses of gold nanopart...

An eco-friendly green mediated synthesis of inorganic nanoparticle is a fast growing research in the limb of nanotechnology. This study reports the synthesis of silver Nanoparticle by using commercially available spice Elettaria cardamomom without the use of toxic chemicals. Visually, the formation of silver Nanoparticle was confirmed by observing the colour changes from pale yellow to dark bro...
