Nanoparticles classified in 4 overall groups containing: Metallic nanoparticles, ceramic nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles and semiconductor nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are used in some biomedical applications such as carrying medicine and photographing agents. With attention to different criteria which are both qualitative and quantitative, selecting the most suitable nanoparticles...

in this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (fe3o4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. in this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

titanium dioxide (tio2)nanoparticles have been frequently employed in the environmental treatment and purification purposes as a cheap and highly efficient photocatalyst. a photocatalyst can facilitate the breakdown and removal of a variety of environmental pollutants at room temperature. tio2 photocatalyst is the best candidatebecause of its strong oxidized ability, non-toxicity and longtherma...

background & aims of the study: heavy metals are the most important and main pollutants because of their accumulation and high toxicity even at very low dose and cause serious hazards to ecological system as well as human health. thus, their removal has been challenged from drinking water and industrial waters with different technologies. the purpose of this work is to investigate the removal o...

The aims of this study were to develop and characterize paclitaxel nanoparticles, to identify and control critical sources of variability in the process, and to understand the impact of formulation and process parameters on the critical quality attributes (CQAs) using a quality-by-design (QbD) approach. For this, a risk assessment study was performed with various formulation and process paramet...

The objective of the present study was to prepare controlled release formulation of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method using Eudragit RL 100 as a polymer. Different formulations were prepared by varying the ratios of drug and polymer and varying the ratios of organic and aqueous phase. The formulations were evaluated i...

in the present investigation surface modification of silica nanoparticles by alumina was carried out by sol-gel process. fourier transform infrared (ftir) and x-ray fluorescence (xrf) confirmed the synthesis of silica and the surface modification as alumina is anchored to silica surface. field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and transmission electron microscopy (tem) investigation...

the degradation of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (pvp) by means of ultrasound irradiation and itscombination with heterogenous photocatalysis (tio2 nanoparticles) was investigated. emphasiswas given on the effect of additive on degradation rate constants. 24 khz of ultrasoundirradiation was provided by a sonicator, while an ultraviolet source of 30 w was used for uvirradiation. to increase the effic...

in this work, cofe2o4 nanoparticles have been prepared by co-precipitation technique. the synthesized cofe2o4 nanoparticles were applied in the preparation of cofe2o4/polyacrylonitrile fiber nanocomposites by the electrospinning process. the prepared nanoparticles and nanofibers were characterized using the scanning electron microscopy (sem) and x-ray diffraction methods. the results manifested...

The aim of this study was to develop celecoxib-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solid dispersion nanoparticles with and without surfactant using the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) process. The effect of different surfactants such as gelucire 44/14, poloxamer 188, poloxamer 407, Ryoto sugar ester L1695, and d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) on nanoparticle formation and dissolu...
