Recent Developments in Fouling Minimization of Membranes Modifed with Silver Nanoparticles

When incorporated in membranes, Ag0 nanoparticles are effective antifouling and antibacterial agents, arising from the presence of Ag+ ions either in solution or adsorbed onto nanoparticles. A vari...

Recent Developments of Graphene Oxide-Based Membranes: A Review

Membrane-based separation technology has attracted great interest in many separation fields due to its advantages of easy-operation, energy-efficiency, easy scale-up, and environmental friendliness. The development of novel membrane materials and membrane structures is an urgent demand to promote membrane-based separation technology. Graphene oxide (GO), as an emerging star nano-building materi...

Toxicity of Nanomaterials and Recent Developments in Lung Disease

1.1 Background Nanotechnology is the study of materials, compounds, devices, and/or systems at near atomic or molecular levels [1]. Usually, one of the dimensions of nanoproducts is between 1 nm and 100 nm length in scale. This emerging technology involves fabricating, imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this scale [2]. The goal of nanotechnology is to control individual at...

Phytoestrogens: recent developments

Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...
