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 ...
Pickering liquid crystal emulsions: Influence of mixed-monolayer protected gold nanoparticles on colloidal stability and surfactant-induced ordering transitions
(2021-04-13)
Liquid crystal (LC) droplets dispersed in aqueous phases (e.g., LC-in-water emulsions) provide a versatile platform for the design of droplet-based LC sensors that can respond to the presence of chemical and biological ...
Surface characterization of chemically modified electrodes with gold nanoparticles and (His)6-rHbI from Luciana pectinata for H2S Detection
(2019-05-15)
The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...
Vibrational spectroscopy studies of biomolecular systems: from amino acids to microorganisms
(2014)
Vibrational spectroscopy: infrared and Raman, was applied to the study of two amino acids and ten bacterial strains with the purpose of developing rapid methods of identification and discrimination. Use of spectroscopic ...
Thermal inkjet technology for the deposition of nanoparticles and Metal-organic framework (Mof): Preparation of sers-active substrates and Mof films for In-situ enhanced raman and infrared detection of harmful contaminants
(2012-12)
The applications of thermal ink-jet printing technology as deposition technique of functional materials such as metal nanoparticles and microporous nickel-oxalate metal organic framework were studied. Highly sensitive ...
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 ...
Composition- and size-controlled synthesis of Mn-Zn ferrite nanocrystals for potential magnetocaloric applications
(2008)
There are presently many applications using nanofluids in thermal engineering. Some examples include the use of nanoparticles in conventional coolants to enhance heat transfer rate by increasing its thermal conductivity. ...
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 ...
