Continuous Microfluidic Synthesis of PLGA Nanoparticles

Microwave-assisted synthesis of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles

This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

Biological Synthesis of Copper/copper Oxide Nanoparticles

Metal nanoparticles have gained significant interest in the past decade because of their unique physio-chemical properties which has a potential to be used in a wide range of applications. Recent efforts have gained success in synthesising nanoparticles with excellent shape and size control; however they are largely restricted to chemical methods. There is an increasing focus on eco-friendly ‘g...

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Nano-sized ZnO particles of specific morphology were synthesized using the plant leaf extracts of Aloe vera. The structures, morphology, optical properties, surface area and thermal behavior of these fabricated ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Photoluminescence (PL)/flourescence spectro...

Lactobacillus Mediated Synthesis of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles

The ability of prokaryotic microorganisms to reduce the inorganic metals has opened up an exciting eco‐friendly approach towards the development of natural ‘nano‐factories’. However, a number of issues have to be addressed from the nanotechnological and microbiological point of view before such a biosynthesis approach can compete with the existing physical and chemi...
