In this study, synthesis of copper nanoparticles and effect of the reaction conditions on the particle size were investigated. The copper nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized in a narrow temperature range in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone under nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction temperature and concentration ratio of the reducing agent to the precursor (R/P) as two main conditions i...

Background. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a causative agent of nosocomial infections. Chloramphenicol broad-spectrum, inexpensive, and common antibiotic. MexAB-OprM secretory pump that causes the innate resistance this bacterium. This study aimed to evaluate expression MexA gene under treatment copper nanoparticles chloramphenicol. Methods. In study, 49 samples were collected from 11 laboratories i...

A synthetic growth medium was purified with the chelator 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone to study the effects of copper on partial reactions and product formation of nitrite respiration in Pseudomonas perfectomarinus. This organism grew anaerobically in a copper-deficient medium with nitrate or nitrite as the terminal electron acceptor. Copper-deficient cells had high activity for reduction of nitrat...

The demand for new, thermally conducting light weight and anti-corrosive materials is tried by incorporating Copper Oxide (CuO) nano powder in polyethylene matrix material. A laboratory level electro deposition technique is adopted here to prepare Copper Oxide (CuO) nano particles. Their phase composition is confirmed with X-Ray diffraction peaks and verified with standard JCPDS file for Copper...
