Extensive use of nanotechnology in multiple commodities is raising concerns about nanotoxicity. In particular, many studies have reported the health-hazardous effects titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs). The present study focuses on toxicity and accumulation TiO2-NPs tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). For this purpose, was kept water tanks, acclimatized for 14 days, treated with different...

Surface modification with a nanomaterial has been confirmed to be an effective strategy enhance the visible-light photodegradation efficiency of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs). In this regard, we used silver as additive into TiO2-NPs improve their activity under visible light irradiation. Here, novel and eco-friendly process was developed prepare Ag-doped TiO2 nanohybrid named photon...

The influence of surface charge of nanomaterials on toxicological effects is not yet fully understood. We investigated the inflammatory response, the acute phase response and the genotoxic effect of two different titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) following a single intratracheal instillation. NRCWE-001 was unmodified rutile TiO2 with endogenous negative surface charge, whereas NRCWE-002...

This work on a compound polymer PMMA doped with some semi-metal oxides nanoparticles (SiO2, TiO2) NPs, intended to be utilized in corrective Contact Lenses. For this purpose the optical properties of (PMMA+2%SiO2, PMMA+2%TiO2, and PMMA+1%SiO2+1%TiO2) NPs were measured calculated get proper refractive indices dispersion (Abbe number) for these compounds design optimization.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the photokilling efficiency of synthesized titanium dioxide nanoparticles in suspension. Two strains of Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus and Staphylococcus aureus were used as probes to test the photokilling activities of the nanoparticles. The toxicity effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on the environment were determined by a standard test using g...

Previous reports have shown that nanoparticles (NPs) can both enhance and suppress immune effector functions; however the mechanisms that dictate these responses are still unclear. Here, the effects of polyacrylic acid (PAA) functionalized metal-oxide NP are investigated on RBL-2H3 (representative mammalian granulocyte-like cell line) cell viability, cellular degranulation, immunoglobulin E (Ig...

As one of the most toxic heavy metals, hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) has long been a concern due to its threats to human health and the environment. In this work, we develop a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for highly specific detection of Cr(VI) using hollow sea urchin-like TiO2@Ag nanoparticles (NPs). The TiO2@Ag NPs are functionalized with glutathione (GSH) and used...

Anatase titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) were synthesized by sol-gel method using rice straw as a soft biotemplate. Rice straw, as a lignocellulosic waste material, is a biomass feedstock which is globally produced in high rate and could be utilized in an innovative approach to manufacture a value-added product. Rice straw as a reliable biotemplate has been used in the sol-gel method t...
