Life secrets lie in invisible world which excites imagine to study. Nowadays, nanotechnology became public terminology for applications of nano-size (nm = 10 meter) in all sciences. Nano-particles already present in nature such as living cell structures (proteins, DNA, polysaccharides, membranes, etc.) and natural structures such as casein micelles or starch, the folding of globular proteins an...

this study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. concentration of the colloidal silica and ph value of the solutions were controlled using different concentrations of alkaline sodium silicat...

In this study, a single-step method for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles usingAloe Vera gel extract and sunlight was investigated. The Aloe Vera gel extractis composed of pectins, lignin, and hemicellulose, which can be used in thereduction of silver ions to produce colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-AV). Thepreliminary preparation of silver nanoparticles was o...

Nanoparticles and nanotechnology have been applied in agriculture, including for plant nutrition improvement, and pest control. Little research has been conducted on nano-calcium carbonate in plant protection and nutrition. In this study, we compared the effects of nano-calcium carbonate and colloidal calcium carbonate and found that nano-calcium carbonate treatments were better at increasing c...

serious concerns have been expressed about potential health risks of nano silver containing consumer products (agnps) therefore regulatory health risk assessment on such nanoparticles has become mandatory for the safe use of agnpsinbiomedicalproducts with special concerns to the mutagenic potentials. in this study, we examined the inhibitory and mutagenicity effects of agnps in three different ...

The nano-kinetics of colloidal particles and living cells with the colloidal particles were visualized by a newly developed video scope. The system of the new video scope has a feature of fine controlling the illumination conditions by using a single optical fiber. This characteristic enables one to obtain clear images of living cells and the motions of colloidal particles by light-scattering e...

AgAl2O3 nanocomposite were synthesized by solution combustion Technique using ammonium carbonate as a new fuel under simultaneous combustion of alumina and silver particles condition. Samples prepared with different amount of silver, were characterized by XRD, BET, SEM and optical Absorption measurements. XRD analysis was used to determine the change in phase and size of the synthesized n...
