Synthesis of heparin-and-poloxamer P407-based nanogel carrying PTX for orientating in treatment of breast cancer

Synthesis of heparin-and-poloxamer P407-based nanogel carrying PTX for orientating in treatment of breast cancer

In this study, nanogels based on the conjugation of heparin and poloxamer P407 (HR-P407) with different grafting ratios were successfully synthesised. The structural properties of products were evaluated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-I…

Effect of Cu doping on structural and magnetic properties of Cu x Zn1-x Fe2O4 nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Effect of Cu doping on structural and magnetic properties of Cu x Zn1-x Fe2O4 nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Nano-ferrites with chemical equation CuxZn1-xFe2O4 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7) were prepared by sol–gel auto-combustion method to study structural and magnetic properties along with antibacterial and antifungal activity. The samples are …

A review of some metal-oxide based nanocomposites for photocatalytic treatment of wastewater

The photocatalytic activity of nanosized composite materials based on some common metal-oxides has been reviewed in the context of their potential application in the treatment of wastewater. A large volume of published data has been systematically anal…

Two–step pulsed laser ablation for preparation NiO@ZnO core-shell nanostructure and evaluation of their antibacterial activity

Two–step pulsed laser ablation for preparation NiO@ZnO core-shell nanostructure and evaluation of their antibacterial activity

The excessive use of antibiotics led to the appearance of many strains of resistant bacteria, so it became necessary to use new antibacterial techniques. The aim of this work is the synthesis of novel core–shell NPs (NiO@ZnO) for antibacterial applicat…
