In this paper, synthesis of the flower-like zinc oxide was performed using microwave assisted dicationic ionic liquid [mmp(im)2 ]Br2 . The polycrystalline flower-like zinc oxide nanostructure was obtained when a suitable mole ratio (ionic liquid /zinc acetate) and short duration microwave was used. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra w...

In this paper, we report on the interaction of multifunctional nanoparticles with living endothelial cells. The nanoparticles were synthesized using direct growth of gallium nitride on zinc oxide nanoparticles alloyed with iron oxide followed by core decomposition in hydrogen flow at high temperature. Using transmission electron microscopy, we demonstrate that porcine aortic endothelial cells t...

To lower the friction coefficient and increase the wear resistance of epoxy, nanoparticles of zinc oxide and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were added in small volume percents to an epoxy matrix. Tribological testing of the samples in this study was completed on a linear reciprocating tribometer with a 250 N normal load and a 50.8 mm/s sliding speed. Several samples were made and tested followi...

The use of plant extract is generating the interest of researchers toward cost effective,nontoxic, economic viability and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the presentwork, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using black tea extract and zinc nitrateas the zinc source by the sol-gel method. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles werecharacterized by powder X-ray diffractio...

The application of nanomaterials has gained considerable momentum in various fields in recent years due to their high reactivity, excellent surface properties and quantum effects in the nanometer range. The properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) vary with its crystallite size or particle size and often nanocrystalline ZnO is seen to exhibit superior physical and chemical properties due to their higher ...

The hexagonal zinc oxide coated nickel (Ni/ZnO) nanostructure photocatalyst has successfully been prepared by the reduction of nickel chloride hexahydrate using hydrazine hydrate through the solvothermal process at 140 °C followed by surface modification of the product by the reflux method at 110 °C for 1 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that the 'as prepared' sample consists of fa...

In this study, the effect of adding zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) on general color change and transparent adhesion strength polyester folds was studied in wood (Ulmusglabra). Zinc with concentrations 0, 0.22, 0.20,1, 1.20 2% coating weight were combined. a study about adherence resistance results showed that highest Nano coatings contained 1% oxide, more than had negative coating. case change,...

The antifungal activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles prepared by bio-safe method was evaluated for Alternaria alternate, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Mucor plumbeus. It was observed from the study that all the nanoparticles at different concentrations brought about significant inhibition in the germination of spores of Alternaria alternata, Fusarium...

OBJECTIVES Effects of nanoparticles including zinc oxide nanoparticles, titanium oxide nanoparticles, and their mixtures on skin corrosion and irritation were investigated by using in vitro 3D human skin models (KeraSkin ((TM)) ) and the results were compared to those of an in vivo animal test. METHODS Skin models were incubated with nanoparticles for a definite time period and cell viability...
