in the present study, a simple, fast and eco-friendly biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps) using   mentha langifolia leaf extract as the reducing agent was investigated. nanoparticles forming were indicated by the color changes in solution and were confirmed by uv-vis spectrum, ft-ir analysis and scanning electron microscopic (sem) micrograph. the average particle size of produced agnps...

Droplet formation in the presence of nanoparticles was studied in a T-shaped microfluidic device numerically. Nanoparticles in continuous phase did not influence droplet formation dynamics obviously. Contrarily, the presence of nanoparticles in dispersed phase will influence evidently droplet formation dynamics, likely reasons are the accumulation of nanoparticles at the liquid-liquid interface...

Background and Objective: Nanoparticles have been introduced as novel antimicrobial agents because of their properties that are different from their bulk properties. Present study was aimed to investigate antimicrobial activity of silver nitrate and zinc oxide nanoparticles against three main bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii. Materials a...

Effect of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle concentration on the signal of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectra has been successfully observed. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a particle size of about 10.5 ± 0.2 nm were used as active materials to increase the SPR response. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a high degree of crystallinity with spinel structure. The S...

cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were grown using wet chemical method by dissolving the reactants ofcadmium acetate and sodium sulfide in the presence of thioglycerol (tg) as capping agent in ethanolsolvent. different nanoparticle sizes and size distribution were obtained through varying the molaritiesof thioglycerol. at higher tg concentration, synthesis provides a nearly monodisperse nanoparticl...

Statement of the Problem Orthodontic appliances facilitate microbial plaque accumulation and increase the chance of white spot lesions. There is a need for new plaque control methods independent of patient's cooperation. Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incorporating copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles on antimicrobial properties and bond strength of orthodontic adhe...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plants as sources exhibiting superiority over the physical and chemical methods that are expensive and can involve the use of toxic, hazardous chemicals, which may pose biological and environmental risks. In present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized in single step by biological method using extracts of Actinidia deliciosa paste as reducing and st...
