Chitosan-based nanoparticles for controlled release of Bromacil
(2018-12)
Herbicides are the most widely used method for weed control. However, the agricultural industry worldwide is facing several challenges including the environmental pollution problems (soils and water) caused by the unsuitable ...
Synthesis and surface modification of metallic nanoparticles: Sensitivity, influence of shape, concentration and excitation wavelength on chemical detection by Sers
(2010-05)
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful spectroscopic technique that can be used for detecting analytes at very low concentrations. In SERS, the intensity of vibrational signatures can be enhanced by factors ...
Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial properties of pure and Li doped ZnO nanoparticles for alternative water disinfection methods
(2019-07-11)
As a consequence of growing water demand and pollution, water borne disease outbreaks are on the rise and current disinfection methods have shown to be ineffective in inactivating all pathogens during water treatment. Zinc ...
Development and characterization of a multi-cellular in vitro model for the study of nanoparticle-cell Interface
(2018-12-12)
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is distinguished by various characteristics which are associated to its poor prognosis. This type of cancer is aggressive in nature and has no targeted therapies. The tumor microenvironment ...
Synthesis and characterization of flexible zinc oxide-based composites
(2018-12-12)
An organic flexible optoelectronic device (f-OLED), composed by a conductive polymeric substrate (PEDOT:PSS) and a composition-controlled semiconductive layer of ZnO was designed based on the industry’s requirements of ...
Biodegradable chitosan matrix composite reinforced with titanium dioxide for biocidal applications
(2019-12-09)
Access to drinkable water is increasingly difficult to find in developing nations. According to the World Health Organization, more than 1.2 billion people lack access to this basic resource. What is worse, water being the ...
Novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering probes for water safety applications
(2019-05-14)
Fresh produce safety is of great concern in the food industry, since its raw consumption and minimal processing in comparison to other food commodities, exacerbates the risks to become one of the leading sources of foodborne ...
Effect of engineering iron oxide nanoparticles on effluent water quality from biological wastewater treatment
(2013)
The production, use, and disposal of products containing nanoparticles may lead to their appearance in air, water, and soil, and subsequently in the human body. Because there is no existing regulation, large amounts of ...
