of Presentation Presentation Title: Nanooptic with Plasmons – Noble metal and Semiconductor Nanoparticles for Optical Devices Abstract : We produce size and shape controlled metal, semiconducting and hybrid nanocrystals by wet chemical synthesis, 2 especially in microfluidic continuous flow. Understanding We produce size and shape controlled metal, semiconducting and hybrid nanocrystals by wet ...

Using electrospinning technique, well-aligned poly(azo-ether-imide) (PAEI) nano-fibers and PAEI/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nano-fibers were developed in this effort. Afterwards, polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene-ran-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) and polyimide-based nano-fiber films were casted. The as-prepared electrospun nanofibers acted as homogeneous reinforcement to enhance the tensile...

Introduction and Background: Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials, such as alumina, beryllia, or glassceramic, whose final characteristics are produced by subjection to high temperatures. Nanomaterials is a rapidly growing area of ceramics [1-3] and can be classified into the following categories: Nano-particles submicron or ultra micron size particles; Nano-fibers – nanometer (nm) siz...

Bloodstream infection, especially with implants involved, is an often life-threatening condition with high mortality rates, imposing a heavy burden on patients and medical systems. Herein, we firstly deposited homogeneous vanadium metal, V2O3, VO2, and V2O5 nanofilms on quartz glass by magnetron sputtering. Using these platforms, we further investigated the potential antimicrobial efficiency of...

The functionality of flexible metal electrodes relies on the stable performance of a metallic film. In this study, highly stretchable anisotropic structures are designed to investigate the behaviour of silver electrodes on polydimethylsiloxane. Treated using both the oxygen plasma and the surface chemical functionalization technology, the film resistivity was reduced to 5.856 × 10(-9) Ω m after...

Linked plasmonic nanoparticles made of noble metal materials exhibit significant enhancement of the amplitude of electromagnetic-field and strongly frequency-selective response at visible ranges which are distinct from that of individual nanoparicles. We introduce recent progress in the fabrication processes to achieve linked plasmonic nanostructures with various configurations. It includes the...

A magnetic nano-composite based on modified styren-maleic anhydride copolymer and Fe3O4 nano-particles was introduced as a new sorbent for solid-phase extraction and preconcentration of trace levels of silver ion from aqueous solutions. The size and morphology of the nano-sorbent were characterized via X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spect...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-silver and garlic administration during pregnancy on neuron apoptosis in rat offspring hippocampus. MATERIALS AND METHODS FIFTY PREGNANT WISTAR RATS WERE RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO FIVE GROUPS: 1- nano-silver (N.S) group; 30 mg/kg of N.S treated via gavage. 2- Control (C) group, administrated with distilled water via gavage. 3...

In the emerging issue of increased multi-resistant properties in foodborne pathogens, silver nano particles are being used increasingly as antimicrobial agents. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Nano Colloidal Silver towards food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica Serovar Ty...
