the potential use of nano technology for improving of withdrawal resistance of nail and screw in wood was evaluated. for this, the maintenance strength of nail and screw was measured under dry and wet conditions for poplar wood (populus nigra) coated with common paints in furniture industry and nano-particles. specimens with dimensions of 15×5×5 cm3 (l×r×t) were cut from poplar wood (populus ni...

Heated scallop-shell (HSS) nano-particles, prepared using a wet grinding mill, and microparticles were examined for their antibacterial activity against vegetative bacterial cells and spores. The median diameters of the nano-particles and micro-particles were approximately 20 nm and 30 µm, respectively. The antibacterial activity of HSS against Escherichia coli increased with an increase in con...

A H2O2-induced oxidative stress injury cell model was established to investigate the antioxidant effect of nano-selenium on mouse spermatocyte lines and regulation mechanism expression level activity selenium-containing enzymes induced by stress. safe effective nano-drug system functionalized nanoparticles (SeNPs) developed with lentinan (LNT) (SeNPs@LNT). Mice line GC2-spg cells were treated S...

zinc and iron nano-oxides (100 ppb) were promoted the hypericin and hyperforin production in hypericum perforatum cell suspension culture. high performance liquid chromatography method was used for detectection and identification of hypericin and hyperforin in h. perfuratum cell suspension cultures elicited with different concentrations of zinc and iron nano-oxide (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppb) after...

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that nano- seleniuminclusion in broilers’ diets can improve productivity and metabolic functions of broilers.Feed and water were provided ad libitum. A total of 180 one-day old male Ross 308 chicks were randomly assigned to six groups based on a completely randomized design, each with three replicates of 10 birds. One of the groups served ...

This paper studies the feasibility of using flame spray to produce ZrO2 nano-particles using a liquid precursor. The effects of varying precursor concentrations and ratio of diluting medium on the phase composition, size and morphology of ZrO2 nano-particles are discussed. The morphology and size of the ZrO2 nano-particles was very much dependent on the precursor concentration. The solvent rati...

An innovative route is reported to fabricate nano-particles in aqueous solution from oxyfluoride glass by the thermal induction and corrosion treatment in this letter. The investigations of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope based on nano-particles in glass ceramics (GCs) and aqueous solution indicate that the nano-particles formed in glass matrix during the thermal inductio...

according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...

BACKGROUND Particulate matter (PM) can exacerbate allergic airway diseases. Although health effects of PM with a diameter of less than 100 nm have been focused, few studies have elucidated the correlation between the sizes of particles and aggravation of allergic diseases. We investigated the effects of nano particles with a diameter of 14 nm or 56 nm on antigen-related airway inflammation. M...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of nano-clay particles and oxidized polypropylene as compatibilizer on the decay resistance of wood plastic composite against coriolus versicolor fungi. in order to provide oxidized polypropylene as compatibilizer, polypropylene was oxidized in the presence of air oxygen in 2 hours by internal mixer. afterwards, wood fibers, polypropylene, nano-...
