Much effort has been devoted to the design of effective biomaterials for nerve regeneration. Here, we report the novel use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as regenerative agents to promote neuronal growth. We grew neuroblastoma cells on surfaces coated with AgNPs and studied the effect on the development of the neurites during the initiation and the elongation growth phases. We find that the Ag...

Pb(II) doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Pb-ZnONPs) was synthesised using the co-precipitation method. The average size distribution of Pb-ZnONPs is 42.8 nm and further used as an adsorbent to remove Erichrome Black T (EBT) from wastewater. adsorption EBT onto best fitted for pseudo-second-order kinetics model, indicating that phenomena depend on Pb-ZnONPs, showing chemisorption phenomenon. maxim...

The purpose of this study was aimed to investigate the zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) synthesizing efficiency aqueous leaf extract Phyllanthus acidus. Furthermore, antioxidant and anticancer activities synthesized ZnONPs were also investigated through in-vitro approach. obtained results show that P. acidus can synthesize ZnONPs, as evidenced by a sharp absorbance peak at 375 nm. Fourier tran...

The goal of the current research was to synthesis zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnONPs) via simple, cheap and eco-friendly method which include reduction acetate dehydrate ZnONPs by using black currant aqueous extract (BC) as a reducing-agent. characterization stability, size, morphology, present functional groups on surface synthesized ZnOBCNPs were achieved SEM, X–ray diffraction, FTIR spectrosc...

Most artificial nanomaterials are known to exhibit broad-spectrum bactericidal activity; however, the defence mechanisms that bacteria use based on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to detoxify nanoparticles (NPs) are not well known. We ruled out the possibility of ion-specific bactericidal activity by showing the lack of equivalent dissolved zinc and silicon toxicity and determined the ...

In this study, sodium alginate film (Alg) was coated with electrospun collagen glue (Col) extracted from rabbit skin waste, loaded different commercial antimicrobial agents (chitosan, AG425K and ZnONPs) investigated in terms of morphological, structural biological properties. The nanostructures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy coupled the energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDS), ...

Abstract Background Given the favorable antimicrobial properties of zinc oxide (ZnONPs), standard silver (AgNPs), and imidazolium-based (Im-AgNPs) nanoparticles, this study aimed to evaluate their influence on microhardness root canal dentin. Methods In experimental study, 40 mandibular premolars were decoronated at cementoenamel junction longitudinally sectioned into halves create 80 specimens...

Abstract In this research, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were prepared via a facile one-pot chemical precipitation approach and applied in the adsorption of bromophenol blue (BRB) as antifungal agents against filamentous fungi plant pathogens; Alternaria alternata CGJM3078, CGJM3006 Fusarium verticilliodes CGJM3823. The ZnONPs characterized by UV–Vis, FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, SEM, TEM, EDX tech...

Abstract Green synthesized nanomaterials have garnered much attention due to their economic and ecofriendly benefits over common chemical methods of synthesis. In the present study, zinc oxide nanoparticles with an average diameter of 16.51 nm were successfully biosynthesized using the aqueous extract of the red seaweed Hypnea musciformis. The morphology, purity and quality of biosynthesiz...
