biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. in the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using seed aqueous extract of olea europaea (oe) and its antibacterial activity. uv–visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning elec...

In this research the composition of polyurethane closed cell (PUCC) with two different concentrations of SiO2 nanoparticles (1.0 and 2.0 wt%) have been prepared. Optical microscopy and SEM imaging, watering uptake, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy of the synthesized samples were carried out. The optical microscopy imaging of samples showed differences in the appearance of matrix produ...

Nanocrystalline complex oxides have been synthesized by combination of sol–gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation techniques using copper nitrate, zinc nitrate as metallic nitrates and glycine, urea and thiourea as fuels. Sol-gel combustion (combination of the chemical sol–gel process and the combustion process) as a proper synthesized technique is used to synthesize ZnO/CuO nanocomposi...

To develop amphotericin B-loaded biodegradable TPGS-b-(PCL-ran-PGA) nanoparticles (PLGA-TPGS-AMB NPs) for fungal infection treatment, PLGA-TPGS NPs and PLGA NPs were synthesized by a modified double emulsion method and characterized in terms of size and size distribution, morphology and zeta potential. Drug encapsulation efficiency, in vitro drug release, and in vitro/vivo tests against Candida...

Objective(s): This paper describes coating of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with amorphous silica shells.   Materials and Methods: First, magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs were synthesized by co-precipitation method and then treated with stabilizer molecule of trisodium citrate to enhance their dispersibility. Afterwards, coating with silica was carried out via a sol-gel approach in which the electrostati...

ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were prepared by a solegel combustion method from a zinc acetate precursor and acetic acid. The ZnO-NPs were synthesized at calcination temperatures of 650 C and 750 C for 1 h. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and TEM. The XRD results revealed that the sample product was crystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite phase. Highma...

In this study, a new type of amphiphilic cetylated polyethyleneimine (PEI) was synthesized, and then polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)/cetylated PEI/hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (PCPH NPs) were developed by self-assembly as a novel type of gene-delivering vehicle. The PCPH NPs showed good DNA-condensation ability by forming polyplexes with small particle size and positive zeta potential. The ...

Titanium dioxide nanocrystals were synthesized by sol-gel method at room temperature. Titanium isoprophoxide and absolute ethanol were used as precursors to prepare the sol. The pH of the solution was adjusted by adding nitric acid and sodium hydroxide solution. The prepared TiO2 nanocrystals were annealed at 325°C, 425°C and 525°C respectively. The effect of pH on the surface morphology and st...
