alkanedisulfamic acid functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (adsa-mnps) were used as effective, low-cost and reusable solid heterogeneous nanomagnetic catalysts for conversion of aldehydes and ketones to corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30% w/w in h2o) at room temperature. these compounds are important key intermediates in...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of silica coating on bioactivity and biodegradability of hydroxyapatite. In this purpose, we firstly attempted to synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and its silica coated (Si-HA) sample in collagen matrix using calcium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium silicate. Characterization of the sample was carried out using Fourier transform...

  Background: Ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (SI) in T1-weighted MR images.   Methods : D...

Monodisperse single-crystalline α-cristobalite nanospheres have been synthesized by hydrocarbon-pyrolysis-induced carbon deposition on amorphous silica aerosol nanoparticles, devitrification of the coated silica at high temperature, and subsequent carbon removal by oxidation. The nanosphere size can be well controlled by tuning the size of the colloidal silica precursor. Uniform, high-purity na...

As a fast developing alternative of traditional therapeutics, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective, noninvasive, nontoxic therapeutics for cancer, senile macular degeneration, and so on. But the efficacy of PDT was compromised by insufficient selectivity and low solubility. In this study, novel multifunctional silica-based magnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs) were strategically designed and pre...

In this study, L-cysteine was chemically grafted to magnetic nanoparticles in order to prepare a reusable magnetic material incorporating an amino acid moiety. For this purpose, silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2) were reacted with trimethoxy(vinyl)silane to produce vinyl-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (VMNP). Reaction of a VMNP substrate with L-cysteine in the presence of ...

this study investigated the applicability of polyethylene glycol (peg-4000) coated fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles for the selective removal of toxic pb (ii) ion from wastewater. the fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles of 24 nm were synthesized using a coprecipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibratingsample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd). sem image...

Effects of calcination temperatures varying from 400 to 1000°C on structural and magnetic properties of nanocomposites formed by Co-ferrite dispersed in the sol-gel silica matrix using tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl) orthosilicate (THEOS) as water-soluble silica precursor have been investigated. Studies carried out using XRD, FT-IR, TEM, STA (TG-DTG-DTA) and VSM techniques. Results indicated that magn...
