Application of Gold nanoparticles and Cold Atmospheric plasma as a targeted therapeutic adjunct has been widely investigated separately in cancer therapy. Gold nanoparticles, with their biocompatibility, lower cytotoxicity and superior efficacy, are becoming substantially more significant in modern cancer therapy. Likewise, cold atmospheric plasma, with rich reactive species including reactive ...

Even though it is a noble metal, silver will corrode in ambient atmospheres, predominantly by reacting with sulfur-containing gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbonyl (OCS) to form the (Ag2S) acanthite. Other aspects of environment, relative humidity presence oxidizing species, also play critical role. With emergence nanoparticles for range technological medical applications, there has...

In this study, we report formation of weblike fibrous nanostructure and nanoparticles of magnetic neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) via femtosecond laser radiation at MHz pulse repetition frequency in air at atmospheric pressure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the nanostructure is formed due to aggregation of polycrystalline nanoparticles of the respective constituent mate...

Cu nanoparticles dispersed in water were prepared by the reduction of Cu originated from the copper salt solution. The stability of the Cu nanoparticles in dispersion was monitored through the analysis of the absorbance spectra at different stages during the process of synthesis. The stability of the Cu nanoparticles dispersed in aqueous medium was investigated after different time intervals. C...

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficients of Al2O3-water and TiO2-water nanofluids have been experimentally measured on three horizontal tubes with different materials and similar roughness under atmospheric pressure. Results revealed that the presence of nanoparticles in the base fluid leads to an increase in pool boiling heat transfer coefficients on stainless steel and brass tubes in ...

Researchers are now discovering that naturally occurring environmental nanoparticles can play a key role in important chemical characteristics and the overall quality of natural and engineered waters. The detection of nanoparticles in virtually all water domains, including the oceans, surface waters, groundwater, atmospheric water, and even treated drinking water, demonstrates a distribution ne...

Copper nanoparticles have been deposited on silicon surfaces by a simple galvanic displacement reaction, and rapid thermal annealing has been performed under various atmospheric conditions. In spite of the general tendency of the agglomeration of nanoparticles to lower the surface energy at elevated temperatures, our plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy d...

The one-pot synthesis of symmetrical triaryl amines using aryl halides and 5-Methyl-1,3,4-Thiadiazole-2-Amine as a nitrogen-transfer reagent is reported. Copper oxide nanoparticles that does not require the presence of any additional ligand, improved rate and facility of the synthesis of triaryl amines. The introduction of a new N-source, using green solvents PEG/H2O, normal atmospheric conditi...
