in order to examine the effects of silver, zinc, nickel, zinc- copper nanoparticles on germination, seedling establishment, and enzyme activity of alfalfa seeds, a factorial experimental was conducted in a randomized complete design with three replications in the seed laboratory, college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran in karaj. the objective of this study was to dete...

In the current paper,Nanostructured Nickel oxide (NiO) were synthesized by co-precipitation method using Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as starting material. Structural, optical and magnetic properties of nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscope (AFM), UV–Vis absorption; Fo...

Nickel is associated with reproductive toxicity. However, the reproductive toxicity of nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) is unclear. Our goal was to determine the association between nickel nanoparticle exposure and reproductive toxicity. According to the one-generation reproductive toxicity standard, rats were exposed to nickel nanoparticles by gavage and we selected indicators including sex hormo...

The growing number of nanoparticle applications in science and industry is leading to increasingly complex nanostructures that fulfill certain tasks in a specific environment. Nickel nanorods already possess promising properties due to their magnetic behavior and their elongated shape. The relevance of this kind of nanorod in a complex measurement setting can be further improved by suitable sur...

Nanocrystalline partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ) and yttria-fully stabilised zirconia (YSZ) powders were prepared by solution combustion process. Nanocrystalline nature of the powders was confirmed by XRD and TEM. Nanocomposite Ni/PSZ and Ni/YSZ films were electrodeposited from a suspension of nanoparticles in nickel sulfamate solution. The strengthening of the nanocomposite due to nanoparti...

in this research nanoparticles of nickel (ii) chloride were synthesized and characterized using fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectra. nanoparticles of nickel (ii) chloride were prepared by using of ball mill device. a ball mill is one kind of grinding machine, and it is a device in which media balls and solid materials (the materials to be ground) are placed in a container. in the researc...

The burden of life on the earth is the source of biological contamination in water. Nanotechnology has promising contributions in control of microbial contaminations and medicinal plants further increase these properties. Presently, copper acetate and nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using 1mM solution of each with Ziziphus mauritiana leaves extract as reducing agent. Nanoparticles w...

Conjugation of aptamers and their corresponding analytes onto plasmonic nanoparticles mediates the 13 formation of nanoparticle assemblies: molecularly bound nanoclusters which cause a measurable change in the 14 colloid’s optical properties. In this paper the optimization of a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) 15 competitive binding assay is presented utilizing plasmonic ‘target’ and ...
