background and aims. adding further fillers to dental resins may enhance their physical characteristics. the aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength of heat-curing acrylic resin reinforced by tio2 nanoparticles added into the resin matrix. materials and methods. commercially available tio2 nanoparticles were obtained and characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning ele...

This work has mainly investigated the influence of the solvent on the nanoparticles distribution in digestive ripening. The experiments suggested that the solvents played a key role in digestive ripening of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs). For the benzol solvents, the resulting size distribution of Au NPs was inversely related to the solvent polarity. It may be interpreted by the low Gibbs free energ...

a method for the controllable synthesis of silver nanoparticles based on a complexing agent method was developed. citric acid was used as a complexing agent. the effect of ph (1.6 to 5.17) on the size and net height (as obtained from xrd analyses) of silver nanoparticles was investigated. the nanoparticles (10 to 40 nm) were characterized using xrd, tem, sem, edx, uv-vis spectroscopy and tg/dtg...

in this research, gelatin nanoparticles were synthesized via inverse miniemulsion method by employing a mixture of a water soluble carbodiimide (cdi) and n-hydroxysuccinimide (nhs) as a non-toxic cross-linking system. the gelatin nanoparticles were characterized for their size and size distribution, morphology and stability and were compared with those of nanoparticles cross-linked by glutarald...

the main objective of this study was to produce ldpe active films containing metallic nanoparticles (ag, zno and cuo) and to investigate their physical, mechanical and anti-microbial characteristics. three types of metallic nanoparticles at concentrations of 1% (w/w) were added to low density polyethylene (ldpe) and the films were prepared using melt extrusion technique. sem results indicated r...

background: to enhance the dose to tumor, the use of high atomic number elements has been proposed. objective: the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle distribution on dose enhancement in tumor when the tumor is irradiated by typical monoenergetic x-ray beams by considering homogeneous and inhomogeneous distributions of gold nanoparticles (gnps) in the tumor. meth...

Problem statement: Preparation and synthesis of gold nanoparticles with small size and suitable stability is very important and applicable particularly in medicine. In this study, we have prepared gold nanoparticles by chemical reduction method employing L-Tryptophane as a reducing agent for ionic gold. Approach: The gold nanoparticles are the most employed amongst the different metallic nanopa...

in this study, fe 3 o 4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by chitosan. then the nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (tem). particle size distribution and zeta potential of the particles also was assessed using malvern zetasizer. the paramagnetic behaviors of the uncoated and chitosan coate...
