Metallic aluminum (Al) is of interest as a reducing agent because of its low standard reduction potential. However, its surface is invariably covered with a dense aluminum oxide film, which prevents its effective use as a reducing agent in wet-chemical synthesis. Pitting corrosion, known as an undesired reaction destroying Al and is enhanced by anions such as F⁻, Cl⁻, and Br⁻ in aqueous solutio...

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 stabilit...

The cytotoxicity of 13 and 22 nm aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles was investigated in cultured human bronchoalveolar carcinoma-derived cells (A549) and compared with 20 nm CeO2 and 40 nm TiO2 nanoparticles as positive and negative control, respectively. Exposure to both Al2O3 nanoparticles for 24 h at 10 and 25mgmL 1 doses significantly decreased cell viability compared with control. Howeve...

Ordered and encapsulated 2-D arrays of silver nanoparticles have been fabricated for applications as reliable, durable, reproducible, and high sensitivity sensors and photoconductors based on plasmon resonance enhanced local electromagnetic fields. Silver nanopartilces are encapsulated by anodic aluminum oxide or atomically thin graphene to isolate silver from adverse environmental effects. In ...

The novel nanostructures are fabricated by the spatial chemical modification of nanowires within the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. To make the nanowires better dispersion in the aqueous solution, the copper is first deposited to fill the dendrite structure at the bottom of template. During the process of self-assembly, the dithiol compound was used as the connector between the nanowires...

The effect of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3) on the stability and conductivity BLM (the bilayer lipid membrane) in solution was studied. It has been shown that Al2O3 increase an electric field, becomes more stable with increasing their concentration. experimental data are analyzed terms well-known theory stability, which is based concept spontaneous formation microscopic pores BLM, develo...

aluminum is very sensitive to oxidation reactions. if a fresh surface of melt is exposed to air, it oxidizes quickly and an oxide layer covers the melt surface. new oxide films formed in a very short time during casting are thin and folded. the metal surface can be folded and create a double-oxide film as a result of the melt turbulence. the entrance of this double-oxide film into the melt is o...
