Application of nanoparticles in biofuels: an overview
(Elsevier, 2019)Biofuels are fast advancing as alternative sources of renewable energy due to their non-polluting features and cost-competitiveness in comparison to fossil fuels. However, in order to fast-track their development, focus ... -
Biosynthesis and photocatalytic properties of SnO2 nanoparticles prepared using aqueous extract of cauliflower
(Springer, 2017)This work reports the biosynthesis of Sn(OH)2 using aqueous extract of fresh cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis), and the subsequent preparation of SnO2 nanoparticles at two different annealing temperatures ... -
The bipyridine adducts of N-phenyldithiocarbamato complexes of Zn(II) and Cd(II); synthesis, spectral, thermal decomposition studies and use as precursors for ZnS and CdS nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2015)Bipyridine adducts of N-phenyldithiocarbamato complexes, [ML12L2] (M = Cd(II), Zn(II); L1 = N-phenyldithiocarbamate, L2 = 2,2′ bipyridine), have been synthesized and characterised. The decomposition of these complexes to ... -
Double diffusion effects on magnetohydrodynamic non-newtonian fluid nanoparticles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2017)In the present article, the double-diffusive natural convection of a micropolar nanofluid over a linearly stretching sheet is discussed. The flow equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity ... -
Eco-friendly synthesis of AgNPs using Verbascum thapsus extract and its photocatalytic activity
(Elsevier, 2016)A facile eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Verbascum thapsus (V. thapsus) flower extract as reducing as well as stabilizing agent is reported. The morphology of the synthesized Ag-NPs was spherical ... -
Effects of protein binding on the biodistribution of PEGylated PLGA nanoparticles post oral administration
(Elsevier, 2012)The surface of nanoparticles is often functionalised with polymeric surfactants, in order to increase systemic circulation time. This has been investigated mainly for intravenously administered nanoparticles. This study ... -
Green synthesis of Ag/Ag2O nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract of eupatorium odoratum andIts antimicrobial and mosquito larvicidal activities
(MDPI, 2017)The health challenges associated with pathogens and ectoparasites highlight the need for effective control approaches. Metal nanoparticles have been proposed as highly effective tools towards combatting different microbial ... -
In vivo evaluation of the biodistribution and safety of PLGA nanoparticles as drug delivery systems
(Elsevier, 2010)The remarkable physicochemical properties of particles in the nanometer range have been proven to address many challenges in the field of science. However, the possible toxic effects of these particles have raised some ... -
Modeling the influence of physicochemical properties on gold nanoparticle uptake and elimination by Daphnia magna
(Wiley, 2015)Monitoring the distribution and subsequent effects of nanoparticle contaminants in aquatic ecosystems will be pivotal to developing regulations that minimize their environmental footprint. The present study focused on the ... -
Modelling nanoparticles parameters for antimicrobial activity
(Springer, 2020)The current study reveals the antimicrobial activity of various nanoparticles (NPs) against numerous microorganisms through statistical models that define suitable parameters to improve the antimicrobial efficacy of NPs. ...
