Nanosilver has recently been recognized as an antimicrobial agent. Although this nanoparticlecan be used in medical applications but its dermal and systemic toxicity via dermal exposure hasnot been completely determined yet. The aim in this study was to investigate the potential dermaltoxicity of Nanosilver in subchronic method. Before the colloidal silver nanoparticle toxicityevaluation, their...

We study Andreev states near atomic scale modulations in the pairing potential in both s- and d-wave superconductors with short coherence lengths. For a moderate reduction of the local gap, the states exist only close to the gap edge. If one allows for local sign changes of the order parameter, however, resonances can occur at energies close to the Fermi level. The local density of states (LDOS...

objective(s): with the advent of nanotechnology, significant progress has been made in the area of nanoscale materials such as nanosilver (ag-nps). these nanoparticles have a wide range of applications and been used for antimicrobial purposes for more than a century. however, little attention has been paid to the toxicity of nanosilver wound dressing. this study was designed to investigate the ...

objective(s): nanotechnology and nanoparticles are increasingly recognized for their potential applications in aerospace engineering, nanoelectronics, and environmental remediation, medicine and consumer products. more importantly is the potential for the application of silver nanoparticles (ag nps) in the treatment of diseases that require maintenance of circulating drug concentration or targe...

introduction: humic acid (ha) is one the original disinfection byproducts processors in water treatment. so, removing it is necessary before water chlorination. in the present study, photodegredation of humic acid in water using ag/zno nano particle under uvc irradiation in batch system was investigated. material and methods: photocatalytic study was carried out to evaluate the effect of uvc (1...

the effect of ethanol-water media on the synthesis of ag/tio2 nanocomposite was investigated with 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 (wt.%) of ag content. ethanol was used as hole-scavenger enhancing the photodecomposition of ag+ ions under illumination of near-uv light. the nanocomposites were further calcined to 300˚c and 400˚c under controlled atmosphere. the synthesized nanocomposites were tested for photoc...

ag/tio2 photocatalytic nanoparticles by two methods, the sol – gel using a reducing agent and spattering was produced. crystalline phase of titanium dioxide was investigated in both. ag/tio2 peak in the sol – gel method at temperatures of 300,500 and 6000c were studied. ag/tio2 peak at different temperatures were determined using the spattering. xrd patterns of calcined this is tio2 and ag/ tio2.
