this experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of ordinary and nano-particles of zinc oxide on the response of corn to salinity. treatments included two corn genotypes (seed mass and sc 704), three spray levels (zinc oxide, nano-sized zinc oxide, and a spray of water treatment) and three salinity levels (0, 75 and 150 mm nacl). shoot dry matter was decrease...

background: despite the wide range of applications, there is a serious lack of information on the impact of the nanoparticles on human health and the environment. the present study was done to determine the range of dangerous concentrations of iron oxide nanoparticle and their effects on mouse embryonic stem cells. methods: iron oxide nanoparticles with less than 20 nanometers diameter were enc...

ABSTRACT A newly arising challenge in the field of nanoparticle research concerns the control and the understanding of the interparticle interactions and interparticle properties. This should allow the development of materials based on nanoparticle assemblies which represents a great opportunity to exploit nanoparticle collective properties. Although some nanoparticle networks have been reporte...

In this experiment Polystyrene/Zinc-oxide (PS/ZnO) nanocomposite fibers were produced by electrospinning technique using limonene as a green solvent. First, the morphology of electrospun pure polystyrene (PS) and PS/ZnO nanocomposite fibers investigated by SEM. Results showed the PS fiber diameter decreased by increasing concentration of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). Thermo Gravimetric An...

We report the nanostructures and gas-sensing properties of Zinc oxide nanosheets prepared by hydrothermal method. In particular, needlelike Zinc oxide was also prepared for comparison. The morphology and structural properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Subsequent gas-sensing measurement between ...
