The interaction of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions and proteinase K from Tritirachium album Limber has been investigated employing UV spectroscopy and kinetics measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles of CuO for proteinase K. In this paper we compare the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles with the effect of copper ions on proteinase K sta...

This communication examines the effect of the surface morphology of polycrystalline copper on electroreduction of CO(2). We find that a copper nanoparticle covered electrode shows better selectivity towards hydrocarbons compared with the two other studied surfaces, an electropolished copper electrode and an argon sputtered copper electrode. Density functional theory calculations provide insight...

ABSTRACT A newly arising challenge in the field of nanoparticle research concerns the control and the understanding of the interparticle interactions and interparticle properties. This should allow the development of materials based on nanoparticle assemblies which represents a great opportunity to exploit nanoparticle collective properties. Although some nanoparticle networks have been reporte...

the thermal decomposition of 86 % vinyl chloride 14 % vinyl acetate copolymer wasstudied by the conductometry technique in the presence of nitrogen. the kinetics of stability andthermal degradation of vinyl chloride- co- vinyl acetate (pvc- co- pvac) copolymer withcopper, copper oxide and tricalcium dicitrate (st) were investigated at various temperatures (150-180 oc ) in solution. the rate coe...

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) are abundant in manufacturing processes, but they an airway irritant. In vitro pulmonary toxicity of CuO NPs has been modeled using cell lines such as human bronchial epithelial line BEAS-2B. 2D culture, BEAS-2B undergoes squamous differentiation due to the presence serum. Differentiation is part repair process lung cells vivo that helps preserve lining re...

Nano-scale copper oxide with various morphologies is synthesized via the thermal oxide method and growth in a 5 wt% NaCl solution of spray fog environment. The nano-scale copper oxide is grown on copper metal sheets via the thermal oxide method at 650 ̊C for 60 minutes. Nano-scale copper oxide grains and nanowires are induced on copper metal sheets then placed in 5 wt% NaCl solution of salt spra...

Flat plate solar collector (FPSC) is commonly used due to its low price, less complexity, and easier installation operation. The thermal efficiency the main disadvantage of this type collectors. In present study, performance FPSC using alumina oxide -water copper nanofluids are evaluated. effect nanoparticle volume fraction investigated theoretically validated experimentally. A computational fl...
