Significant advances have been made on our understanding of the fate and transport of engineered nanomaterials. One unexplored aspect of nanoparticle aggregation is how environmental stimuli such as light exposure and temperature variations affect the mobility of engineered nanoparticles. In this study, TiO(2), ZnO, and CeO(2) were chosen as model materials for investigating the mobility of nan...

Abstract The spatial organization of metal oxide nanoparticles represents an important factor in the chemical utilization resulting structures. For production networks that are composed nanoparticle chains, we dispersed vapor phase-grown TiO 2 and ZnO homogeneously aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution. After electrospinning, analyzed sizes diameters compositionally homogeneous electrospun fibers ...

heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. prepared composite was characterized by xrd, ft-ir and icp technique. in this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. the liquid phase bromination of phenol was performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

Presently, nanotechnology is a multi-trillion dollar business sector that covers a wide range of industries, such as medicine, electronics and chemistry. In the current era, the commercial transition of nanotechnology from research level to industrial level is stimulating the world's total economic growth. However, commercialization of nanoparticles might offer possible risks once they are libe...

New reduced graphene oxide-based silver nanoparticle-containing composite hydrogels were successfully prepared in situ through the simultaneous reduction of GO and noble metal precursors within the GO gel matrix. The as-formed hydrogels are composed of a network structure of cross-linked nanosheets. The reported method is based on the in situ co-reduction of GO and silver acetate within the hyd...
