the synthesis, characterization and application of biologically synthesized nanomaterials are an important aspect in nanotechnology. the present study deals with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using the aqueous extract of red seaweed gelidiella acerosa as the reducing agent to study the antifungal activity. the formation of ag-nps was confirmed by uv-visible spectroscopy, x-ray ...

The calcium ferrite nano-particles (CaFe2O4 NPs) were synthesized using a sol-gel method for targeted drug delivery application. The proposed nano-particles were initially prepared by mixing calcium and iron nitrates that were added with citric acid in order to prevent agglomeration and subsequently calcined at a temperature of 550°C to obtain small particle size. The prepared nanoparticles wer...

Proteins adsorbed on nanoparticles (NPs) are being used in biotechnology, biosensors and drug delivery. However, understanding the effect of NPs on the structure of proteins is still in a nascent state. In the present paper tin oxide (SnO2) NPs were synthesized by the reaction of SnCl4·5H2O in methanol via the sol-gel method and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrar...

The nanomaterials have important application in different field of science such as biology and pharmacology, which draws the attention of biologists towards this field of study more than before. As the worldwide mortality rate is high due to the pathogens and especially because of the bacteria associated Aeromonas and the antibacterial effect of metal nanoparticles is well known for ce...

Manganese zinc ferrite nanoparticles (MZF NPs) were synthesized by using a direct, efficient and environmental friendly hydrothermal method. To improve the colloidal stability of MZF NPs for biomedical applications, NPs were coated with chitosan by ionic gelation technique using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as crosslinker. The synthesized NPs were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analy...

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...

In this article, the oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds was studied in oxygen atmospheres using a copper oxide on graphene (CuO@GO) nano composites catalyst, synthesized by wet chemistry method. CuO@GO were prepared from GO, and CuO NPs sol-gel The transformation aromatic corresponding good-to-high yields observed catalyst under an atmosphere. Synthesized confirmed FT-IR, XRD, XPS, T...

the aim of the research work was to chemically modify guar gum(gg) as a ph sensitive co-polymer and formulating intestinal targeting eso nanoparticles (nps) using the synthesized co-polymer. poly acrylamide-grafted-guar gum (paam-g-gg) co-polymer was synthesized by free radical polymerization. chemical modification of paam-g-gg by alkaline hydrolysis results in formation of a ph-sensitive co-po...
