In this study, Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were synthesized by chemical method and their antibacterial efficiency against a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus was studied. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles have shown a commendable inhibition effect on the growth of most notorious bacterial pathogen S.aureus. The nanoparticles size and shapes were characterized by trans...

Background: Based on the increase in antibiotic-resistant pathogens, it is necessary to have various effective compounds, so as to prevent the proliferation of these pathogens. For this purpose, nano-materials such as bismuth oxide nanoparticles can be used.Objectives: The aim of this study was to produce bismuth oxide nanoparticles by Bacillus lichenifor...

The use of plant extract is generating interest of researchers toward cost effective and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present work, Cupric oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using coffee powder extracts by the sol-gel method at different calcination temperatures. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , ultr...

statement of the problem: during the orthodontic treatment, microbial plaques may accumulate around the brackets and cause caries, especially in high-risk patients. finding ways to eliminate this microbial plaque seems to be essential. purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effects of nano copper oxide (cuo) and nano zinc oxide (zno) coated brackets against streptococcu...

This work describes the formation of reduced graphene oxide-coated copper oxide and copper nanoparticles (rGO-Cu2ONPs, rGO-CuNPs) on the surface of a copper foil supporting graphene oxide (GO) at annealing temperatures of 200-1000 °C, under an Ar atmosphere. These hybrid nanostructures were developed from bare copper oxide nanoparticles which grew at an annealing temperature of 80 °C under nitr...

The interaction of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions and proteinase K from Tritirachium album Limber has been investigated employing UV spectroscopy and kinetics measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles of CuO for proteinase K. In this paper we compare the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles with the effect of copper ions on proteinase K stabilit...

The efficacy of a molybdate formulation and a zinc oxide bolus as prophylactic agents for enzootic icterus was evaluated in sheep. Before copper loading, liver biopsies were performed on 12 male, 6-month-old, Mutton Merino sheep to determine hepatic copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) concentrations. The animals were restrictively randomised according to liver copper concentrations to 3 treatment groups ...

In this research zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. The ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The structure of nanoparticles was studied using XRD pattern. The c...
