Simple, nontoxic, environmental friendly method is employed for the production of silver nanoparticles. In this study the synthesized nanoparticles UV absorption band occurred at 400 nm because of the surface Plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. The pH of the medium plays important role in the synthesis of control shaped and sized nanoparticles. The colour intensity of the aqueous solutio...

Well faceted CuO nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. A possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by FT-IR study. The large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances in catalysis as d...

In this work, CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs) was prepared by a simple and green method using Rosmarinus officinalis extract containing phenolic constituents as both the chelating and the stabilizing agents. CuO nanoparticles/polyorthoaminophenol composite (CuO NPs/POAP) as electro-active electrodes for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol with good uniformity are prepared by electropolymerizatio...

a series of cuo-zno-al2o3 nanoparticles over hzsm-5 were successfully prepared using different methods of batch co-precipitation, semibatch co-precipitation and combined co-precipitation-ultrasound. nitrates of copper, zinc and aluminum were used as precursors, while na-zsm-5 was employed as composite support and sodium carbonate was used as precipitant agent. the effects of preparation methods...

The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has increased recently leading to the need for novel, natural antibacterial agents such as plant-synthesized silver nanoparticles. Such synthesis is safe, cheap, rapid, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. In this study, characterization biosynthesized nanoparticles from extracts A. sieberi C. procera was carried out using transmission electron...

This work studied the development of vegetable based lubricants and the addition of oxides nanoparticles (ZnO and CuO) as additive for extreme pressure (EP), exploring the EP and oil base influence in tribological behavior. The results showed that with the addition of nanoparticles to conventional lubricant, the tribological properties can be significantly improved. A smoother and more compact ...

In this paper we have reported the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Penicillium sp. was isolated from the soil sample collected from Pallavakam beach of Chennai, Tamil Nadu India. When the fungal biomass was challenged with 1mM Silver nitrate (AgNO3) results in the change of solution color in to dark brown shows the formation of Silver nanoparticles(SNP).These Silver nanoparticles wer...
