Despite uses of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles in various consumer and medical products therapy increasing human daily exposure, little studies were conducted on its cardiotoxicity. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the possible modulation of nanoTiO2 induced genotoxicity, mutagenicity and apoptosis by chlorophyllin (CHL) coadministration in mice cardiac cells. Mice were injected ...

Hydrogen evolution coupled with the photochemical oxygenation of cyclohexene with water was observed in the system sensitized by Sn(IV)-porphyrin adsorbed on Pt loaded TiO2 nano-particles in aqueous acetonitrile solution upon visible light irradiation.

the current study presents synthesis and characterization of high impact polystyrene - tio2 nanoparticles mixed matrix membranes for separation of carbon dioxide from nitrogen. the solution-casting method was used for preparation of membranes. the nano mixed matrix membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy to ensure the suitable dispersion of nano particles in high impact ...

New types of porphyrin nano- and micro-particles composed of J- and H-heteroaggregates were prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of two oppositely charged porphyrins, tetrakis(4-trimethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin (H2TAPP4+) and tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II) (CoTPPS4-), in aqueous solutions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed novel morphology and size distrib...

in this work, tio2 /sio2 (pure anatase), and tio2 /sio2 (anatase/rutile) nano-photocatalysts are prepared by using sol-gel method and control of acidity. the particles size is calculated using scheerer, s equation and is estimated to be around 7-15 nm. in order to improve the photocatalytic activity of tio2 /sio2 ,1% (wt) platinum particles are loaded on both catalysts using photoreductive meth...

This paper aims to explore the antibacterial property of nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket for the common bacteria in oral cavity, and discuss its biocompatibility. Micro morphology in the surface of nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket was detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and surface roughness of ordinary mental bracket, nano TiO2 coating bracket and nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket were measure...

With a dramatic rise in complexity, needs of nanotoxicology research go beyond simple forms of nanomaterials. This study compared the phototoxicity of nano-TiO2 and graphene-TiO2 nanocomposite (GNP). GNP was synthesized based on a hydrothermal method, which simultaneously performed the reduction of graphene oxide and nano-TiO2 loading. A series of acute toxicity tests of nano-TiO2, graphene and...

Electrodeposition is a simple and economic technique for precision coating of different shaped substrates with pure metal, alloy or composite films. Dc electrodeposition was used to produce Cr, Co-Cr and Co-Cr/TiO2 nano-composite coatings from Cr(III) based electrolytes onto 316L SS substrates. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration on co-deposition of these particles along with Cr con...
