The hypothesis was that green tea catechins (GTCs) formulated with vitamin C and xylitol followed by enteric coating with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP) or encapsulated into γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) could enhance intestinal absorption of GTCs. Surface morphology and size obtained by SEM were different. Digestive stability of GTCs encapsulated into γ-CD or coated with HPMCP was en...

Iron oxide nanoparticles with engineered physical and biochemical properties are finding a rapidly increasing number of biomedical applications. However, a wide variety of safety concerns, especially those related to oral exposure, still need to be addressed for iron oxide nanoparticles in order to reach clinical practice. Here, we report on the effects of chronic oral exposure to low doses of ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Ni2O3- γ-Fe2O3 composite nanoparticles coated with a layer of 2FeCl3·5H2O can be prepared by co-precipitation and processing in FeCl2 solution. Using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) diffraction techniques, the dependence of the preparation on the concentration...

In this study, magnetic nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3) were used for the degradation of 2-chlorophenol (CP) from wastewater. The size of these magnetic nanoparticles was measured using XRD and found to be about  

BACKGROUND Fluoride contamination of groundwater, both anthropogenic and natural, is a major problem worldwide and hence its removal attracted much attention to have clean aquatic systems. In the present work, removal of fluoride ions from drinking water tested using synthesized γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. METHODS Nanoparticles were synthesized in co-precipitation method. The prepared particles we...

Cryogels from noble metal NPs have proven to be highly efficient catalysts due their high specific surface area which increases the mass transfer channels and catalytic active sites. By using oxides as co-catalysts, costs of material can significantly reduced, while activity remain same or even improve synergetic effects. In this work, we synthesize different cryogel thin films supported on mod...
