The possibility to recover the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles synthesized in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelles by compressed CO2 was investigated. UV-Vis study showed that TiO2 nanoparticles could be deposited from the reverse micelles by the dissolved CO2. The nanoparticels were prepared and characterized by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The re...

In this study, we used nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide (N-TiO2) NPs in conjugation with visible light, and show that both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and autophagy are induced by this novel NP-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) system. While well-dispersed N-TiO2 NPs (≤100 μg/ml) were inert, their photo-activation with visible light led to ROS-mediated autophagy in leukemia K562 cells and norma...

BACKGROUND Poor mechanical properties are among the main limitations of acrylic resins. Addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to acrylic resin has been shown to improve its mechanical properties with an adverse effect on its color. Thus, this study sought to assess the tensile and impact strength of a color modified heat cure acrylic resin reinforced with TiO2 nanoparticles. MATER...

OBJECTIVE Western lifestyle and diet are major environmental factors playing a role in the development of IBD. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are widely used as food additives or in pharmaceutical formulations and are consumed by millions of people on a daily basis. We investigated the effects of TiO2 in the development of colitis and the role of the nucleotide-binding oligomerisation do...

Co-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods with different doping concentrations were fabricated by a molten salt method. It is found that the morphology of TiO2 changes from nanorods to nanoparticles with increasing doping concentration. The mechanism for the structure and phase evolution is investigated in detail. Undoped TiO2 nanorods show strong ferromagnetism at room temperature, whereas inc...

Background & Aims of the Study: The heterotrophic bacteria are widely used as a water microbial pollution index for drinking water. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of metallic nanoparticles such as Zero Valent Iron (ZVI), Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) on Heterotrophic Bacter...

The poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) capped mancozeb nanoformulation was prepared by the ultrasonic method using a 1% solution and 20% capping agent, PEG-4000. synthesized characterized UV-visible, FTIR, SEM TEM techniques. photolytic photo catalytic experiments were carried out in Borosil glass bottle presence of sunlight, varying pH proportions at single fortification level (1.0 g/mL) ground water...

Two important properties-the low surface free energy of polybenzoxazine (PBZ) and the photocatalysis-induced self-cleaning property of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles-are combined to develop a promising approach for oil/water separation. They are integrated into a multifunctional superhydrophobic and superoleophilic material, PBZ/TiO2 modified polyester non-woven fabrics (PBZT), through a...
