The nanomaterials have important application in different field of science such as biology and pharmacology, which draws the attention of biologists towards this field of study more than before. As the worldwide mortality rate is high due to the pathogens and especially because of the bacteria associated Aeromonas and the antibacterial effect of metal nanoparticles is well known for ce...

Magnetic-fluorescent lanthanide doped sodium lutetium fluoride (NaLuF4:Yb3+/Er3+/Gd3+) nanocrystals were synthesized via facile hydrothermal method by varying concentration of Gd3+. Powder X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), p...

In  this  work,  a  new  hybrid  organometallic-inorganic  hybrid nanomaterial was prepared by immobilization of acetyl ferrocene on the  surface  of magnetite  nanoparticles. Covalent  grafting of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles (SCMNPs) with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane gave aminopropyl-modified magnetite nanoparticles (AmpSCMNPs). Then, Schiff base condensation  of AmpSCMNPs with acet...

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

A novel and cost-effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,3'-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-ones was developed utilizing a combined nanocomposite obtained from bonding TiCl3 to hydroxyl groups of nanofibrillated cellulose as a green and inexpensive support.The structure of the catalyst was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning...

Mechanical alloying and vacuum sintering have been used to produce bulk nanostructured Ti5Si3 and Ti5Si3-15Wt.% Al2O3 nanocomposite. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to study the microstructural characteristics of the samples. Indentation method was used to calculate hardness, elastic modulus and fracture toughness ...

The optimum conditions for the fabrication of zein/Ag composite nanoparticles from ethanol/H₂O cosolvents using electrospinning and the properties of the composite were investigated. The zein/Ag nanoparticles were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis. The antibacterial act...

Bone like hydroxyapatite (nHAp) was synthesized via an in situ biomimetic process in presence of wheat starch. The effect of polymer concentration alteration on the final structure of nHAp was investigated. Formation of the nHAp at room temperature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Size and morphology of the nHAp samples were character...

We report the synthesis of nitrogen-doped urchin-like rutile TiO2 nanostructure at room temperature without further heat treatment. The process was operated through hydrolysis of Ti(OC4H9)4 employing the direct amination of the product. The samples characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and Brunaue...
