In the copper metallurgy workplace air is polluted with condensation aerosols, which a significant fraction of is presented by copper oxide particles<100 nm. In the scientific literature, there is a lack of their in vivo toxicity characterization and virtually no attempts of enhancing organism's resistance to their impact. A stable suspension of copper oxide particles with mean (±SD) diameter 2...

copper thin films with nano-scale structure have numerous applications in modern technology.  in this work, cu thin films with different thicknesses from 50–220 nm have been deposited on glass substrate by dc magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature in pure ar gas. the sputtering time was considered in 4, 8, 12 and 16 min, respectively. the thickness effect on the structural, morpholo...

Gold-copper (Au-Cu) phases were employed already by pre-Columbian civilizations, essentially in decorative arts, whereas nowadays, they emerge in nanotechnology as an important catalyst. The knowledge of the phase diagram is critical to understanding the performance of a material. However, experimental determination of nanophase diagrams is rare because calorimetry remains quite challenging at ...

nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. in this study  cuo nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic cuso4 as we...
