cr2o3 nanoparticles were prepared using cr(no3)3.9h2o as starting material, triethanolamine (tea) as template and water as green solvent under microwave irradiation. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), photoluminescence (pl) and raman spectroscopy. the size distribution of individual particles we...

magnetic nanoparticles can bind to different drug delivery systems and can be used for drug targeting to a specific organ by using an external magnetic field as well as used in hyperthermia by heating in alternating magnetic fields. the characteristics of iron oxide nanoparticles are significantly affected by particle size, shape and zeta potential, among which the particle size plays the most ...

the combination of graphene (gr) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (nio nps) yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. in cyclic voltammetry (cv) studies, in the presence of ep, nio/gr composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for ep oxidation. based on differential pulse voltamm...

a facile and simple method was proposed to control the size and shape of the mgo nano structures with high surface area in the presence of efficient and cheap templates like peg 200, peg 600, peg 4000 and sorbitol at low temperature within a little time. nano rods and nanoparticles have been achieved by applying these templates and altering other growth parameters. the products were characteriz...

in the past decade, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to their physical properties and technological applications. in this work, α-fe2o3 nanoparticles were first synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method using iron chloride hexahydrate (fecl3.6h2o) as precursor and ammonia solution as precipitator. the samples were then characterized by high resolution transmission...

semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that arenot present in their bulk counterparts. in this work, extremely fine and pure sno2 nanoparticles of ~1.1nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of sno2 was crystallizedby microwave heating. the particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. by xrd analysis...

nanotechnology researchers have identified a wide range of nanoparticle applications that may have an important role in medicine and treatment of diseases. due to lack of detailed documentation about the toxicology of zinc oxide (zno) nanoparticles, this study was aimed to evaluate the absorption of zno nanoparticles in hearts of female nmri mice. overall, 20 adult nmri female mice were studied...

FePt/iron oxide core/shell nanoparticles are synthesized by a two step polyol process with 1,2hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent. Monodispersed 2.6-nm FePt nanoparticles are first obtained by reduction of iron(III) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate. These preformed FePt nanoparticles are then used as seeds and an iron oxide shell is formed in the second synthesis step. The ro...

background: ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic iron oxide (uspio) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (si) in t1-weighted mr images.   methods : dif...
