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...

In this work, we present a novel method for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. We utilize the charge compensatory effect of ionic liquid [bmim]BF(4) in conjunction with ethylene glycol for providing electro-steric stabilization to copper nanoparticles prepared from copper sulphate using hydrazine hydrate as a reducing agent. The formed copper nanoparticles showed extended stability over a p...

in this study, synthesis of copper nanoparticles and effect of the reaction conditions on the particle size were investigated. the copper nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized in a narrow temperature range in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone under nitrogen atmosphere. reaction temperature and concentration ratio of the reducing agent to the precursor (r/p) as two main conditions i...

Titanium dioxide and copper oxide nanoparticles are more and more widely used because of their catalytic properties, of their light absorbing properties (titanium dioxide) or of their biocidal properties (copper oxide), increasing the risk of adverse health effects. In this frame, the responses of mouse macrophages were studied. Both proteomic and targeted analyses were performed to investigate...

The antimicrobial properties of silver and copper nanoparticles were investigated using Escherichia coli (four strains), Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus (three strains). The average sizes of the silver and copper nanoparticles were 3 nm and 9 nm, respectively, as determined through transmission electron microscopy. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra of silver and copper nanoparticles r...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost containing copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on was beans, in an experiment factorial were done based on a randomized complete block design in three replications. the experiment treatment were as follows: nanoparticles in 4 levels (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg weight of substrate), vermicompost in 3 levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg-1 weight of substra...

Engineered nanoparticles are becoming increasingly incorporated into technology and consumer products. In 2014, over 300 tons of copper oxide nanoparticles were manufactured in the United States. The increased production of nanoparticles raises concerns regarding the potential introduction into the environment or human exposure. Copper oxide nanoparticles commonly release copper ions into solut...

Copper based nanoparticles have an immense potential in the future of anticancer therapy. Various copper inorganic nanoparticles and organic framework complexes have been extensively studied since the last decade for their effect on cancer cell growth inhibition and tumor regression. In this review we have summarised the anticancer activity of few such nanoparticles of copper and organo-copper ...
