Objective(s): Based on our previous studies about nano-ZnO effects on physiological behaviors, in this study we have investigated the effects of anxiolytic doses of nano-ZnO on electrocardiogram (ECG) sings changes in the restraint and non-restraint ovariectomized (OVX) female rats. Methods: Animals (160-180 g) were divided into: control (non-OVX + saline) and OVX groups that received: s...

introduction: today nano-medicine tries to produce new drugs to reduce the dosage and side effects of their conventional forms. according to the interaction between zinc and opioidergic system activity, this study has investigated the effect of new kind of zinc supplement, nano zinc oxide (nzno), in compared to its conventional form (czno), in presence and absence of opioidergic system activity...

bioelectronics has attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in various disciplines, such as biomedical. development of efficient bio-nano hybrid materials is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. a novel nano-bio hybrid electrode based on zno–protein for bioelectronics applications was prepared and characterized. the electrode was made by coval...

the pellet-type sno2 sensor was synthesized by the solid state method and the effects of additives such as nano zno (1-12 mol %) and nano in2o3 (1-10 mol %) on the co gas sensitivity of sensor were investigated. the optimum sintering temperature was chosen 800°c because of the porosity content of the samples. the phase analysis and microstructure of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction...

To enhance the damage and corrosion behaviour for alloys, coating is found because of maximum fitted technique. Mg-based alloys have a good range business application. These show high specific strength but bad attire resistance. A standard Cu, Ni & Zn etc. provides physical barrier against wear tear rate attack magnesium substrate. In recent study, plating Ni-P was thru going on AZ91 compos...

Introduction: The use of zinc supplements can decrease somatic and visceral pains. Exercise also increases the pain tolerance. In recent years, production and use of nano metal particles such as nano ZnO for pharmaceutical, hygienic and industrial purposes is rapidly increasing, while studies about its effects on human health are limited. The aim of the present study was to compare the effec...

In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) was a very good candidate for improving the sensitivity of gas sensor technology. The preparation of an electrospun ZnO nanostructured thin film on a 433 MHz Rayleigh wave based Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor and the investigation of the acoustoelectric effect on the responses of the SAW sensor are reported. We prepared an electrospun ZnO nanostructured thin ...

The present study was designed to highlight the impact of seed priming with polyethylene glycol on physiological and molecular mechanism of two cultivars of Oryza sativa L. under different levels of zinc oxide nanorods (0, 250, 500 and 750 mg L(-1)). Plant growth parameters were significantly increased in seed priming with 30% PEG under nano-ZnO stress in both cultivars. Whereas, this increase ...

In this article, direct coating of ZnO on PECVD-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is achieved using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Transmission electron microscopy investigation shows that the deposited ZnO shell is continuous and uniform, in contrast to the previously reported particle morphology. The ZnO layer has a good crystalline quality as indicated by Raman and photoluminescen...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...
