Prediction of ferromagnetism in GaN:Ag and SiC:Ag nanotubes

Prediction of ferromagnetism in GaN:Ag and SiC:Ag nanotubes

Ferromagnetism in single-walled (6,0) GaN(SiC):Ag nanotubes were studied based on ab initio simulations within a pseudopotential method. For the GaN:Ag single-walled nanosystems, the width of the band gap reduces with the increase of dopant concentrati…

Antifungal activities of chitosan nanoparticles against Fusarium pseudensiforme on durian trees

Antifungal activities of chitosan nanoparticles against Fusarium pseudensiforme on durian trees

Antifungal nano-biomaterials are gaining interest as an effective strategy for controlling fungal pathogens because of their nontoxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high activity. The study aimed to present an antifungal agent, squid chito…

Exploring the use of fast electron backscattering for the determination of the C/O ratios: possible applications to graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide

Exploring the use of fast electron backscattering for the determination of the C/O ratios: possible applications to graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide

GO and rGO are carbon nanostructures with a wide range of applications. The carbon/oxygen ratio (C/O) is a basic parameter that determines many of its essential properties. The large-scale production of these materials requires the use of fast and repr…

Selective and reversible carbon mono oxide gas detection using silver doped octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) nanorods

Selective and reversible carbon mono oxide gas detection using silver doped octahedral molecular sieves (OMS-2) nanorods

In this work a potable, resistive sensor is fabricated for the selective detection of CO gas using nanorods of Ag doped octahedral molecular sieves-2 (Ag-OMS-2). During exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) gas at room temperature, resistance of Ag-OMS-2 fi…

Facile synthesis of mesoporous zinc oxide nanoparticle as a drug delivery system evaluated by IVIVE in PBPK modeling

This study focuses on the development of mesoporous zinc oxide nanoparticles (mZNPs) via the sol–gel technique, utilizing polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG-6000) as a capping agent. The research aims to investigate the suitability of these nanoparticles fo…

Structure and properties analysis of yttrium doped high-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

Structure and properties analysis of yttrium doped high-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

High voltage cathode spinel material of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 was doped by yttrium (Y) element in the form of LiNi0.5Mn1.5−xYxO4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1) for Li-ion batteries. Structure and properties analysis was conducted to study the effect of Y addition on the …

Importance of nano-carriers, surfactant system, and their loading mechanism to improve the absorption and bio-availability of drugs: a review

Importance of nano-carriers, surfactant system, and their loading mechanism to improve the absorption and bio-availability of drugs: a review

Improving the apparent solubility of poorly soluble therapeutic molecules with poor absorption into the circulatory system is a significant research question in drug discovery. This enhancement is achieved by delivering drugs through nano-carriers that…
