The study on physicochemical properties of maltodextrin-coated cerium oxide nanoparticles was carried out. surface structure and CeO 2 were investigated. ability to perform the functions catalase peroxidase enzymes, as well inactivate hydroxyl radicals shown. Keywords: nanoparticles, oxide, catalytic activity, antioxidant activity.

BACKGROUND Cerium oxide (CeO(2)) nanoparticles improve the burning efficiency of fuel, however, little is known about health impacts of altered emissions from the vehicles. METHODS Atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE(-/-)) mice were exposed by inhalation to diluted exhaust (1.7 mg/m(3), 20, 60 or 180 min, 5 day/week, for 4 weeks), from an engine using standard diesel fuel (D...

A new method for the synthesis of formamides has been developed by the N-formylation of amines with formic acid in the presence of nano cerium oxide as an efficient and recyclable catalyst under ultrasound irradiation. The reaction system is remarkably simple and environmentally benign.

Gold nanoparticles supported on cerium(IV) oxide powder showed strong absorption at around 550 nm due to localized surface plasmon resonance of Au and exhibited a higher level of activity than other Au-supporting samples in mineralization of organic acids in aqueous suspensions under irradiation of visible light (> ca. 520 nm).

Interest in engineered nanostructures has risen in recent years due to their use in energy conservation strategies and biomedicine. To ensure prudent development and use of nanomaterials, the fate and effects of such engineered structures on the environment should be understood. Interactions of nanomaterials with environmental microorganisms are inevitable, but the general consequences of such ...

Objective- The healing effect of chitosan supported cerium oxide nanoparticles (nano-CeO2) on cutaneous experimental excisional wound infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied in rat. Design- Experimental Study. Animals- Sixty male albino rats. Procedures- The chitosan supported nano-CeO2 hydrogel was prepared and characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectro...
