Synthesis of Gd2O3 nanoparticles for MRI contrast agents

A Solvent Free Route to the Synthesis of Diaryl Sulfoxides

The solvent free route for the synthesis of diaryl sulfoxides from arenes and thionyl chloride in the presence of Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride and ferric chloride on silica gel are described.

MRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. The fluoresc...

A rapid microwave route for the synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles

ZnS  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  In  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  The effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  The nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...
