Although nanoscale titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) has been extensively used in industrial food applications and daily products for pregnant women, infants, and children, its potential toxicity on fetal development has been rarely studied. The main objective of this investigation was to establish the effects of maternal exposure of nano-TiO2 on developing embryos. Female imprinting control region ...

One of the determinant factors for successful bioengineering is to achieve appropriate nano-topography and three-dimensional substrate. In this research, polycaprolactone (PCL) nano-fibrous mat with different roughness modified with O2 plasma was fabricated via electrospinning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plasma modification along with surface nano-topography of mats...

The current essay analyzes the anti-corrosion properties of epoxy primers including anti-corrosion pigment calcium hydrogen orthophosphate and hydrophobic nano silica with various percentages optimized by Taguchi experimental design. The impact of influential factors such as the percentage of anti-corrosion pigments, percentage of nano silica and pigment to binder ratio on anti-corrosion proper...

The great demand for long-wavelength and high signal-to-noise Ca(2+) indicators has led us to develop CaRuby-Nano, a new functionalizable red calcium indicator with nanomolar affinity for use in cell biology and neuroscience research. In addition, we generated CaRuby-Nano dextran conjugates and an AM-ester variant for bulk loading of tissue. We tested the new indicator using in vitro and in viv...

Nano-calcium carbonate is a new type of nanomaterial, which has great influence in many fields. In order to explore the nano-calcium on petroleum asphalt, an experiment was designed analyze application improving road asphalt technology. This article explores methods preparing and pitch, understands characteristics two materials, then draws mixing pitch: one freezing disintegrating, other stepwi...

Nano-networks are the interconnection of nano-machines and as such expand the limited capabilities of a single nano-machine. Several techniques have been proposed so far to interconnect nano-machines. For short distances (nm-mm ranges), researchers are proposing to use molecular motors and calcium signaling. For long distances (mm-m), pheromones are envisioned to transport information. In this ...

in this work at the first step calcium hydroxide nano-particles were synthesized via sono-chemical method at room temperature. at the second step aminated multi-walled carbon nano-tubes was prepared via chemical modification of surfaces of cnt. finally modified-mwcnt and ca(oh)2 were added to paraloid matrix by aid of ultrasonic irradiation. paraloid-modified-mwcnt-ca(oh)2 nanocomposite was use...
