Newly synthesized Polypropylene-g-Polyethylene glycol polymer was first time used for a compartment-less enzymatic fuel cell. Working electrodes based on Polypropylene-g-Polyethylene glycol were operated as unmediated and mediated system (with ferrocene and gold/cobalt oxide nanoparticles). Glucose oxidase and bilirubin oxidase was selected as anodic and cathodic enzyme, respectively. Glucose w...

Rhodamine B (RB) is a toxic dye used extensively in textile industry, which must be remediated before its drainage to environment. In the present study, supported gold nanoparticles on commercially available titania and zincite were successfully prepared and then their activity on the photodegradation of RB under UV A light irradiation were evaluated. The synthesized photocatalysts were charact...

This study evaluated the acute toxicity and tissue distribution of intravenously administered gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in male rabbits. Rabbits were exposed to single dose of AuNPs (300 μg/ kg). Toxic effects were assessed via general behavior, hematological parameters, serum biochemical parameters, and histopathological examination of various rabbits’ organs. Inductively coupled plasma–mass ...

in this study, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles by penicillium chrysogenum, isolated from ahar copper mine, was investigated. the gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the aqueous gold ions using the culture supernatant of the filamentous fungi. the uv–vis spectrum displayed a characteristic peak at 532 nm that is very specific for gold nanoparticles. the xrd spectrum confirmed ...

objective(s): abdominal adhesions are one of the most important problems, occurring after intra-abdominal surgery in more than 90% of cases. this condition is the leading cause of bowel obstruction, infertility, and abdominal/pelvic pain. gold nanoparticles (gnps) have been shown to be non-toxic and exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and antioxidant activities. the purpose of this study...

background: radiation-sensitive polymer gels are among the most promising three-dimensional dose verification tools and tissue-like developed to date. among the special features of this type of dosimeters, is be doped with other elements or chemicals which made them appropriate for investigating of dose enhancement with contrast agents, by high atomic number. material and methods: in this study...

today, there is an increasing interest in the use of metal nanoparticles in health sciences. amongst all nanoparticles, the gold nanoparticles have been known to kill the cancer cells under hyperthermic condition by near-infrared frequency electromagnetic waves. on the other hand, although there are different physiochemical methods for disinfection of microbial pollution, however applications o...
