PURPOSE Zinc oxide effectively reduces visual cell loss in rats exposed to intense visible light and is known to slow the rate of disease progression in advanced stages of age-related macular degeneration. Our goal was to determine the efficacy of zinc oxide in combination with novel and well-established antioxidants in an animal model of light-induced oxidative retinal damage. METHODS One gr...

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIB), with various manganese oxide-based cathodes, provide a promising solution for textile-based flexible energy storage devices. This paper demonstrates, the first time, aqueous ZIB manganese-based cathode fabricated in single woven polyester cotton textile. The textile was functionalized polymer membrane layer that fills gaps between yarns, enabling fine control over dept...

The water-soluble zinc salts gluconate, sulfate, and acetate are commonly used as supplements in tablet or syrup form to prevent zinc deficiency and to treat diarrhea in children in combination with oral rehydration. Zinc citrate is an alternative compound with high zinc content, slightly soluble in water, which has better sensory properties in syrups but no absorption data in humans.We used th...

Pure and doped magnesium oxide (MgO) thin films were prepared with different volumetric ratios (0, 2, 4, 6, 8%) of zinc sulfide (ZnS) on glass substrates at (350 °C) by chemical spray pyrolysis technique. The surface topography, absorption spectrum, coefficient Urbach energy the studied. atomic force microscopy (AFM) results revealed that topography changes as percentage doping increases. absor...

Graphene oxide is obtained by oxidation of graphite followed ultrasonic exfoliation. It a two-dimensional layered material with large number oxygen-containing functional groups on its surface. Polyaniline conductive polymer and has unique corrosion protection mechanism. In this study, carboxy-functionalized graphene oxide/polyaniline (CGO/PANI) composites lamellar structure were prepared in sit...

Studies were carried out to evaluate the initially preformed density and initial aspect ratio on the densification behavior of sintered Zinc and Zinc Oxide composite. The preform possessed 0.85 is the initial density. Aspect ratio for three different oxidizing temperatures (at 150°C, 200°C and 250°C) varied from 0.4 to 0.85. Properties of Zinc-Zinc Oxide composites with respect to linear strain...

Two different zinc oxide nanoparticles, as well as zinc ions, are used to study the cellular responses of the RAW 264 macrophage cell line. A proteomic screen is used to provide a wide view of the molecular effects of zinc, and the most prominent results are cross-validated by targeted studies. Furthermore, the alteration of important macrophage functions (e.g. phagocytosis) by zinc is also inv...
