a useful nanophotocatalyst (la,s-tio2) was prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized by uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (drs), x-ray diffraction (xrd), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (fesem). the results showed that the la,s-tio2, which calcined at 550 °c, contained only anatase phaseand its crystal size was 23 nm. in addition, the fes...

Nano-TiO2 is widely applied in the automobile exhaust hose reels as a catalyst to reduce oxynitride emissions, including nitric oxide (NO). In the biomedicine field, NO plays an important role in vasodilation and edema formation in human bodies. However, the deswelling activity of nano-TiO2 has not been reported. Here, we demonstrated that nano-TiO2 can significantly degrade the production of N...

Key biological functions involved in cell survival have been studied to understand the difference between the impact of exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) and their bulk counterparts (bulk-TiO2). By selecting a unicellular eukaryotic model organism and applying proteomic analysis an overview of the possible impact of exposure could be obtained. In this study, we investigated the early re...

Effect of nano TiO2 particles on the corrosion properties of an epoxy based coatings was investigated. Coatings and nano Titania were applied on standard phosphated steel panels by cathodic electrodeposition simultaneously. The coated panels were immerged in 3.5 NaCl solution for 2880 hours 120 days. The SEM and EIS technique were used to investigate the electrodeposion of nano Titania particle...

tio2 photo catalyst was prepared in presence of nano sio2 and hydroxy propyl cellulose (hpc) by sol gel method with titanium tetra isopropoxide (ttip) as titanium precursor. additional effect of hpc in preparation of nano catalyst, and photo catalyst properties measured and characterized by ft-ir, ft-raman and sem. the catalyst size and structural properties of the film were determined by .-ray...

Nano-TiO2 (NT) and nano-SiO2 (NS) were separately added in the cement paste to investigate the rheological property of fresh mixtures and mechanical strength in hardened state. The effects of different dosages and types of nano-particles on the properties of cement paste were studied. The results indicated that the rheological behavior of the fresh cement paste coincides with the Modified Bingh...

Extensive studies have shown that titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanomaterials (NMs) can cause toxicity in vitro and in vivo under normal conditions. However, an adverse effect induced by nano-TiO2 in many diseased conditions, typically characterized by oxidative stress (OS), remains unknown. We investigated the toxicity of nano-TiO2 in rat liver cells (BRL-3A) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat livers unde...

Production of titanium-dioxide nanomaterials (nano-TiO2) is increasing, leading to potential risks associated with unintended release of these materials into aquatic ecosystems. We investigated the acute effects of nano-TiO2 on metabolic activity and viability of algae and cyanobacteria using high-throughput screening. The responses of three diatoms (Surirella angusta, Cocconeis placentula, Ach...

This paper presents a study on the preparation method for Ag-TiO2 nano particles. Photodeposition of silver on TiO2 nanoparticles was carried out by adding a desired volume of aqueous AgNO3. Ag-deposited TiO2 catalyst was characterised by XRD, TEM, SEM. The Ag-TiO2 catalyst was evaluated for their photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of Malachite green (MG) under UV irradiation. An a...

The use of diverse engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) potentially leads to the release of multiple ENMs into the environment. However, previous efforts to understand the behavior and the risks associated with ENMs have focused on only one material at a time. In this study, the chemical interactions between two of the most highly used ENMs, nano-TiO2, and nano-ZnO, were examined in a natural water ...
