Despite its superior characteristics, there is an increased concern about the environmental effects that zinc oxide causes and over the years lower levels of zinc have been tried in order to decrease its impact and to minimise the production costs. Different approaches have been considered for reducing zinc levels. Between all the alternatives proposed, the use of nano–sized ZnO particles with ...

Forty-five Angus steers (avg initial wt 330 kg) were individually fed for 112 d to assess the value of supplemental Zn and source on performance and carcass quality. Steers had ad libitum access to a control diet (81 ppm Zn) of 33% whole corn, 33% ground milo, 15% cottonseed hulls and 13% cottonseed meal, or this control diet with 360 mg Zn/d added from either zinc methionine or zinc oxide. Ste...

introduction: pulpectomy is a conservative treatment plan for primary necrotic teeth and zinc oxide eugenol is still a good choice as root canal filling material but long term studies on poor prognosis molars are limited and almost contradictory. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographical success rate of pulpectomy of necrotic primary molars using zoe as the root c...

objective(s):the mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) have been introduced as appropriate cells for tissue engineering and medical applications. some studies have shown that topography of materials especially physical surface characteristics and particles size could enhance adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts. in the present research, we studied the distinction effect of 30 and 60 μg/ml of zinc ...

nanotechnology researchers have identified a wide range of nanoparticle applications that may have an important role in medicine and treatment of diseases. due to lack of detailed documentation about the toxicology of zinc oxide (zno) nanoparticles, this study was aimed to evaluate the absorption of zno nanoparticles in hearts of female nmri mice. overall, 20 adult nmri female mice were studied...

The synthesis of hexagonal ring-shaped structures of zinc oxide using nanosphere lithography and metal/metal oxide sputtering is demonstrated. This synthesis exploits the surface re-emission of zinc oxide to deposit material in regions lying out of the line-of-sight of the sputtering source. These rings can nucleate the hydrothermal growth of zinc oxide crystals. Control over the growth could b...
