While metal nanoparticles are being increasingly used in many sectors of the economy, there is growing interest in the biological and environmental safety of their production. The main methods for nanoparticle production are chemical and physical approaches that are often costly and potentially harmful to the environment. The present review is devoted to the possibility of metal nanoparticle sy...

in the present work, we report the synthesis of binary nano metal oxides such as zinc /copper oxide via novel dry synthetic methods such as thermal decomposition of oxalate precursor. the synthesis route involves facile solid-phase mechanochemical activation of a physical mixture of simple copper/zinc salts and oxalic acid, followed by calcination of the as-ground oxalate precursors at 450◦c. x...

oxide nanoparticles can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their limited size and a high density of corner or edge surface sites. in this study, mgo nanoparticle was synthesized using mg(ch3coo)2 and hexamethylenetetramine as starting materials. the structure and optical properties of these particles are investigated by using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron micros...

in this scientific research zns nanoparticle was synthesized via precipitation method. two samples were synthesized by this method. the nanoparticle was characterized by xrd techniques, and the size and kind of crystallinity were identified by x-ray diffraction pattern as well. the size measurement has been done by using scherrer's equation. the average sizes of nanoparticles in two sample...

Dextran is widely exploited in medical products and as a component of drug-delivering nanoparticles (NPs). Here, we tested whether dextran can serve as the main substrate of NPs and form a stable backbone. We tested dextrans with several molecular masses under several synthesis conditions to optimize NP stability. The analysis of the obtained nanoparticles showed that dextran NPs that were synt...

We describe the synthesis and characterization of high-performance, superparamagnetic, iron oxide nanoparticle-based, heavy metal sorbents, which demonstrate excellent affinity for the separation of heavy metals in contaminated water systems (i.e., spiked Columbia River water). The magnetic nanoparticle sorbents were prepared from an easy-to-synthesize iron oxide precursor, followed by a simple...

3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-thiones were synthesized in the presence of ag nanoparticle/melamine sulfonic acid (msa) supported on silica gel. the reaction was carried out at 110 oc for 20 min under solvent free conditions. in all cases, the three component reaction proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-thiones in moderate to good yield. we have found the best co...
