In contrast to short-lived neutrophils, macrophages display persistent presence in the lung of animals after pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes. While effective in the clearance of bacterial pathogens and injured host cells, the ability of macrophages to "digest" carbonaceous nanoparticles has not been documented. Here, we used chemical, biochemical, and cell and animal models and demonstra...

We developed a simple and cost-effective fabrication technique to construct a hydrogen nanosensor by decorating single-walled carbon nanotubes with Pd nanoparticles. By varying the sensor’s synthesis conditions (e.g., Pd electrodeposition charge, deposition potential, and initial baseline resistance of the SWNT network), the sensing performance was optimized. The optimized sensor showed excelle...

a powerful and convenient reaction procedure for the c-n coupling reaction (the buchwald-hartwig reaction), yielding products of n-arylanilines and n-arylamines in both conventional heating and microwave irradiation has been reported. the protocol utilizes a stable and new supper ferromagnetic nanoparticle chelating n-heterocyclic dicarbene palladium(ii) complex (pd-nhc) as catalyst which helps...

The applicability of TiO 2 nanoparticles (TiO 2 -NPs-AC) for removing Disulfine Blue (DSB) and Methyl Orange (MO) from aqueous solutions has been reported.The influence of nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (TiO 2 -NPs-AC) dosage, pH of the sample solution, individual dye concentration, contact time between the sample and the adsorbent were studied by central composite design(CCD) under re...

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 1 wileyonlinelibrary.com applications, metal nanoparticles, oxides, polymers, and many other materials were inkjet-printed.[1] However, the inkjet printing of an essential material for electrochemical applications, palladium (Pd), is less commonly reported. Pd is of significant importance for electrochemical applications due to its high electroc...

We report on one-step hybridization of silver, gold and palladium nanoparticles from solution onto exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2 titanium carbide (MXene) nanosheets. The produced hybrid materials can be used as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). An approximate analytical approach is also developed for the calculation of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) frequen...

OF THE DISSERTATION Biomimetic Catalysts of Graphene Conjugates and Palladium Nanoparticles

in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...

One of the most widely used nanoparticles for water purification is activated carbon due to its large surface area and high adsorption capacity (Ortiz-Ibarra, et al., 2007). Activated carbon has proven to remove bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli from fresh and potable water systems (Percival and Walker, 1999; Quinlivan, et al., 2005). Despite electrostatic repulsion betw...
