tio 2 nanoparticles (nps) might be considered as the most important photosensitizer due to high photocatalytic and sonocatalytic efficiency, low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, low cost and high chemical stability. tio 2 -nps normally tend to aggregate in physiological medium and which results to decreased cell viability and inducing expression of stress-related genes. thus dispersion and...

conclusions this easily fabricated electrode together with the fast and sensitive sw voltammetry was successfully applied for the determination of concentration of atz at trace levels, in different water samples. results the results revealed that decrease in peak current was proportional to atz concentration over the range of 5-75 ng/ml. the limit of detection (lod) and limit of quantification ...

in this work firstly fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical method. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) shows nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. to continue some of the 2-naphthol condensed 1,3-oxazinon...

Long-chain n-octadecayl mercaptan (C18H37SH)-passivated palladium nanoparticles are synthesized and characterized. The palladium nanoparticles are successfully capped by n-octadecayl mercaptan. These palladium nanoparticles have the same face-centered cubic crystalline structure as Pd in the bulk phase. The size of the capped palladium nanoparticles varies in the range of 1.3–5.5 nm for various...

Phase and size of lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are the most important characteristics that dictate optical properties of these nanoparticles and affect their technological applications. Herein, we present a systematic study to examine the effect of alkaline earth doping on the formation of NaYF₄ upconversion nanoparticles. We show that alkaline earth doping has a dual function of tuning parti...

We demonstrated the effect of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles on Schottky barriers of graphene, in which the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were fabricated by a hydrothermal method and the single-layer graphene sheets were mechanically exfoliated from Kish graphite. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were superparamagnetic with the saturation magnetic moment of about 32 emu/g at room temperature. We have found...

We report a facile intracellular manipulation of fluorescent magnetic Fe3O4-CdSe nanoparticles using magnetic force. The growth of CdSe quantum dots on Fe3O4 nanoparticles produces Fe3O4-CdSe nanoparticles with two distinct properties, fluorescence and superparamagnetism. After nonspecific surface modification using glutathione (GSH), the hydrophilic Fe3O4-CdSe@GSH nanoparticles can be easily u...

In this study we present a morphological approach in observing the interaction of cationic magnetic nanoparticles with A-549 cells (human lung adenocarcinoma). Under our experimental conditions, nanoparticles easily penetrated cells and were observed in vivo, using bright light microscopy. In fixed cells, nanoparticles remained inside cells, showing quantity and distribution patterns similar to...

Thiol-capped silver nanoparticles were prepared by in situ thermal decomposition of different silver(I)-thiolates precursors in a polymeric matrix. Depending on the structure of the organic coating, contact-free distribution of metal nanoparticles or nanoparticles aggregates were achieved. The structure and morphology of nanocomposites was analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and...
