Copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of Schiff-base ligand (N,N׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. The effect of different Cu sources and pH on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. The as-prepared products were characterized using X-ray dif...

In this study silver/poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) and silver/poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) Nanocomposites were prepared via reduction of silver salt by employing DMF (N, N`- dimethyl formamide) as a reducing agent. Effects of protective agents such as PVA and PVP were also described here. We show that the acidic pH of PVP solution also affects the interaction between protective agents and silver nan...

the interaction between nano-sio2 and lysozyme was investigated by the method of uv-visible  detection and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. the thermal denaturation of lysozyme has been investigated in the presence and absence of nano-sio2 over the temperature range (293-373) k in different buffers and ph values, using temperature scanning spectroscopy. the presence of nano-sio2 caused th...

Bismuth molybdate thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron co-sputtering from two metallic targets in an argon/oxygen atmosphere, reportedly for the first time. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis showed that the ratio of bismuth to molybdenum in the coatings can be effectively controlled by varying the power applied to each target. Deposited coatings were annealed in air...
