In this work, we studied the structure of synthesized triangular silver nanoplates in solution and the growth of the nanoplates on a silicon surface using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as a coupling agent. The triangular-shaped colloidal silver nanoplates were simply synthesized by a direct chemical reduction approach. We studied the three characteristic peaks of the unique optical abso...

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is responsible for approximately 80% of greenhouse gases emission that the main source to global climate change causing notable environmental impacts. Poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) have polar PEG repeating units, which provide a strong affinity towards carbon molecules has been blended with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) synthesize membrane CO ...

An amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was prepared for use as a basic heterogeneous catalyst the conversion of Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil and Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf) to biodiesel. The 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (3-APTMS) chosen form an amine-reactive surface bind with hydroxyl (−OH) carboxyl (−COOH) groups oxidized MWCNT. Silanization took place using green modifi...

This study aimed to synthesize Fe3O4@Methylcellulose/3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (Fe3O4@MC/APTMS) as a new magnetic nano-biocomposite by facile, fast, and microwave-assisted method be utilized an adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) removal from aqueous solutions. Fe3O4@MC/APTMS was characterized Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispers...

Angiogenesis is essential for the development of malignant tumors and provides important targets for tumor diagnosis and therapy. To noninvasively assess the angiogenic profile of tumors, novel alpha(v)beta(3) integrin-targeted ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (USPIOs) were designed and their specific uptake by endothelial cells was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. USPIOs were c...

Tissue stiffness is an important determinant of cellular function, and changes in tissue stiffness are commonly associated with fibrosis, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Traditional cell biological approaches to studying cellular function involve culturing cells on a rigid substratum (plastic dishes or glass coverslips) which cannot account for the effect of an elastic ECM or the variations ...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been widely utilized for the diagnosis and therapy of specific diseases, as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents and drug-delivery carriers, due to their easy transportation to targeted areas by an external magnetic field. For such biomedical applications, SPIONs must have multifunctional characteristics, including optimized s...
