effect of nanosilver (ns) on the heat-transferring rate to the core section of medium density fiberboard (mdf) mat was studied here. a 400 ppm aqueous nanosilver suspension was used at three consumption levels of 100, 150, and 200 ml/kg, based on the weight of dry wood fibers; the results were then compared with the control mdf panels. the size range of nanosilver was 30-80 nm. results showed t...

widespread use of nanosilver can be led the contamination of aquatic environment and impact on living organisms such as fishes. we investigated histopathological changes in the gills tissue of caspian roach fingerlings after two weeks exposure to sublethal concentrations of nanosilver. following one and two weeks exposure, necrosis, shortening of secondary lamellae, edema, destruction of epithe...

Recently nanoparticles, particularly silver nanoparticles, are broadly used in industry, hence the contamination of the environment with AgNPs has caused considerable concern. In this study, the toxicity of biosynthetic nanosilver produced by two macroalgae: Sargassum boveanum and Ulva flexuosa extracts were compared with chemical nanosilver in Daphnia magna. Size and quality of nanoparticles e...

Aim: There are Conflicting reports on safety profile of nanoparticles biological cells. This study evaluated the impact nanosilver hemocompatibility salt-loaded rats. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats [(inbred) (120-140 g)] randomly divided into 4 groups, (n = 6) were studied. Group 1(control) received normal rat chow tap water, 2 containing 8% NaCl [(salt-loaded (SLRs)]. 3 + Nanosilve...

Effects of heat-transferring property of silver nanoparticles were evaluated on two solid woods of poplar and fir and in combination with Borax. Nanosilver and Borax were applied in pressure vessel using Rueping method. The size range of silver nanoparticles was 20-80 nm. Specimens of 150×130×9 mm were prepared and five fire-retarding properties were measured using a newly designed slide fire t...

Objective(s): Nanosilver is one of the most widely used nanomaterials due to its strong antimicrobial activity. Thus, because of increasing potential for exposure of human to nanosilver, there is an increasing concern about possible side effects of these nanoparticles. In this study, we tested the potential dermal toxicity of nanosilver bandage on serum chemical biomarkers in mice.  Materials a...

In this study, PPy@Ag/rGO nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via the one-pot hydrothermal method using graphene oxide, pyrrole monomer and silver nitrate. The structures morphologies of as-obtained ternary systematically investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) transmission microscope (TEM). It was found that PPy@Ag NPs well distributed on reduction oxide nanoflakes. minimum...

This study investigated the concentration/time dependent effects of nanosilver colloid on the motionparameters of the ejaculated ram spermatozoa in vitro. After incubation of sperm samples for 30, 60, 120 and 180 min in the presence of nanosilver colloid (0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 ppm), the motion parameters were evaluated by computer assisted sperm analysis. There was a significant (P
