A simple reaction process is developed to synthesize blue, green, yellow and red colour graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) from carbon fibers. Here, we have focused on synthesis of near infra-red GNPs and their biological application for optical imaging of deep tissues and organs.

A simple strategy is proposed to synthesize highly uniform garnet-based nanospheres that exhibit colloidal stability in physiological media, high biocompatibility and both green NIR persistent luminescence.

Controllable silver nanoparticles were developed by a green approach using extracts of both leaves and bark of Limonia acidissima tree. Due to the presence of phytochemical compounds in L. acidissima leaves and bark; such as saponins, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, and quinines present in extracts act as reductants, hence the silver nanoparticles were easily produced under mild conditions.

The tissue specificity of the heat-shock response in maize was investigated. The ability to synthesize heat shock proteins (hsp) at 40 degrees C, as well as the intensity and duration of that synthesis, was analyzed in coleoptiles, scutella, green and etiolated leaves, suspension-cultured cells, germinating pollen grains, and primary root sections at different stages of development. One-dimensi...

This page within the Green Chemistry Resource Exchange describes an award-winning technology to produce 1,3-propanediol using an engineered Escheri-chia coli strain. The process is now operating at a scale of 100 000 000 pounds, thus supplying this compound as a commodity chemical. Protection Agency's 2010 small business Green Chemistry award for developing innovative technology to make alkanes...
