Although there has been significant progress in the fabrication and performance optimization of 1-D nanostructure-based deep-ultraviolet photodetectors, it is still a challenge to develop an effective device with high performance characteristics, such as high photocurrent-dark current ratio and high quantum efficiency. Herein, an efficient and simple method to fabricate high performance CuO nan...

Fast Green (FCF) dye is commonly used in both cytology and histology applications. Previous studies have found that it can cause mutagenic and tumorigenic effects in experimental human and animal populations. It can also be a source of skin, eye, respiratory, and digestive irritation. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of thin film membranes to degrade FCF. A thin film membrane of...

statement of problem: acid producing bacteria including streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli cause tooth demineralization and lead to tooth decay. also, oral colonization of the species of candida has been reported in many studies that are resistant to antifungal agents. objectives: in this study, antibacterial and antifungal effects of nano-cuo were studied against some oral bacteria and yeas...

Abstract This paper reports the preparation of copper(I) oxide nanoparticles deposited on yttrium and copper(II) in presence acerola white willow extracts. Through use natural compounds, it was possible to modify surface Y 2 O 3 CuO carriers allowing Cu be a greater extent, thus improving antibacterial properties materials. nanoparticles, by being carrier, enable an increase contact with microo...

Recently, the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has caused a serious health problem. Scientists respond to the threat by developing new antimicrobial materials to prevent or control infections caused by these pathogens. Polymer-based nanocomposite hydrogels are versatile materials as an alternative to conventional antimicrobial agents. Cross-linking of polymeric materials by met...

in this paper, two double helical dinuclear copper(ii) complexes of bis-n,o-bidentate schiff base ligands bis(3-methoxy-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l1) and bis(5-bromo-n-salicylidene-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl)sulfone (l2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses (chn), as well as thermal analysis. elemental analyses (chn) suggested that the reaction between ligands and ...

in this paper, cuo nanoparticles  have been synthesized via solid-state thermal decomposition using copper(ii) schiff base complexes as new precursors at 600ºc under air atmosphere for 3 h. surface morphology of the products were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).

In this work, a two-dimensional analysis is used to study the thermal performance of a cylindrical heat pipe utilizing nanofluids. Three of the most common nanoparticles, namely Al2O3, CuO, and TiO2 are considered as the working fluid. A substantial change in the heat pipe thermal resistance, temperature distribution, and maximum capillary heat transfer of the heat pipe is observed when using a...

Hollow polyhedra and cubes of nanostructured Cu(2)O particles have been synthesized by reduction of CuSO(4) with ascorbate acid in the solution phase. The nanostructures were obtained when the cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) concentration ranged from 0 to 0.03 M in the presence of NaOH. Structural characterizations, by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for measuring Cu valence state...

Abstract In this work, CuO-loaded tetragonal SnO 2 nanoparticles (CuO/SnO NPs) were synthesized using precipitation/impregnation methods with varying Cu contents of 0–25 wt% and characterized for H S detection. The material phase, morphology, chemical composition, specific surface area NPs evaluated X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning energy-dispersive spectroscopy, ph...
