the synthesis of nanoparticles from biological processes is evolving a new era of research interests in nanotechnology. the aim of this study was to determined antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles produced by rosmarinus officinalis l leaf extract against some human pathogenic bacteria. the formation and characterisation of agnps were confirmed by uv-vis spectroscopy, energy-dispersive...

The reaction of nano-cellulose and antimony pentachloridein dichloromethane gave nano-cellulose-SbCl5. Also nano-cellulose-SbCl5 has beencharacterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Nano-cellulose-SbCl5has been applied as a nano-catalyst for synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines from the simple on...

Using qualitative backscattered electron (BSE) imaging and quantitative energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, some investigators have concluded that cement (reversal) lines located at the periphery of secondary osteons are poorly mineralized viscous interfaces with respect to surrounding bone. This conclusion contradicts historical observations of apparent highly mineralized (or collagen-...

OBJECTIVE To examine the ultrastructure of six light-cure orthodontic adhesives with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), microhardness tester, and energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer (EDX). MATERIALS AND METHODS The orthodontic adhesives evaluated were Transbond XT, Light Bond, BeautyOrtho Bond, Kurasper F, Heliosit Orthodontic, and Salivatect. Spe...

Caffeine loaded magnetic nanoparticle was successfully synthesized and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The resulting nanocom...

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of toothbrushing with desensitizing toothpastes on dentin permeability and dentinal tubule occlusion. Fifty rats provided two hundred incisor teeth divided into five groups: DW, brushed with distilled water (control); FT, brushed with fluoride toothpaste; SCT, brushed with strontium chloride toothpaste; PCT, brushed with potassium citrate t...

This study presents, for the first time, field evidence of complete, irreversible processing of solid calcium carbonate (calcite)-containing particles and quantitative formation of liquid calcium nitrate particles apparently as a result of heterogeneous reaction of calcium carbonate-containing mineral dust particles with gaseous nitric acid. Formation of nitrates from individual calcite and sea...

The paper focuses on corrosion phenomena involving copper, corrosive sulphur and solid insulation of oil-immersed transformers. A study of the available mitigation technique such as passivation to reduce the effects of corrosion phenomena is carried out with the commercially available passivator, Irgamet 39 (Toluiltriazole dialkylamine) (ciba), with concentration of 100 ppm. The paper insulated...

This paper reports a novel green approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous seed extract of Dracocephalum moldavica (L.) under ambient conditions. Processes such as Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis ...

In this work ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by one-step aqueous solution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been used to characterize the samples in detail. The XRD studies revealed that the ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO had wurtzite structure (hexagonal). The composi...
