Incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. Copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and copper particles chemically synthesized.The particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. On the other han...

Abstract This paper reports the preparation of copper(I) oxide nanoparticles deposited on yttrium and copper(II) in presence acerola white willow extracts. Through use natural compounds, it was possible to modify surface Y 2 O 3 CuO carriers allowing Cu be a greater extent, thus improving antibacterial properties materials. nanoparticles, by being carrier, enable an increase contact with microo...

There is a renewed interest in designing solid acid catalysts particularly due to the significance of Lewis acid catalyzed processes such as Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation and cellulose hydrolysis for the development of sustainable chemistry. This paper reports a new focus point on the properties of supported CuO on silica, a material that up to now has been considered only as the prec...

The copper oxide (CuO) nanowires/functionalized graphene (f-graphene) composite material was successfully composed by a one-pot synthesis method. The f-graphene synthesized through the Birch reduction chemistry method was modified with functional group "-(CH₂)₅COOH", and the CuO nanowires (NWs) were well dispersed in the f-graphene sheets. When used as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries, ...

In this study, the feasibility of using copper oxide (CuO) as an interface for the coupling of liquid chromatography (LC) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was investigated. CuO exhibits low absorption in the 4000 to 1000 cm-1 FTIR spectral region. In addition, LC-FTIR using CuO as the interface was extended to the analysis of sample mixtures containing benzamide and dioctyl se...

Three-dimensional (3D) copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were synthesized in a regenerated Bombyx mori silk fibroin aqueous solution at room temperature. In the synthesis process, silk fibroin served as the template and helped to form the hierarchical CuO nanostructures by self-assembly. Cu(OH)2 nanowires were formed initially, and then they transformed into almond-like CuO nanostructures with ...

Copper nanoparticles have been deposited on silicon surfaces by a simple galvanic displacement reaction, and rapid thermal annealing has been performed under various atmospheric conditions. In spite of the general tendency of the agglomeration of nanoparticles to lower the surface energy at elevated temperatures, our plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy d...

Objective(s): CuO is one of the most important transition metal oxides due to its captivating properties.

Recently, it has been used as an antimicrobial agent against various bacterial species. Materials and Methods: Here, we synthesized Cu...

CuO nanoparticles with an average size of ca. 4 nm have been successfully prepared by microwave irradiation, using copper (II) acetate and sodium hydroxide as the starting materials and ethanol as the solvent. The CuO nanoparticles are characterized by using techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spe...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM During the orthodontic treatment, microbial plaques may accumulate around the brackets and cause caries, especially in high-risk patients. Finding ways to eliminate this microbial plaque seems to be essential. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effects of nano copper oxide (CuO) and nano zinc oxide (ZnO) coated brackets against Streptococcu...
