Photocatalytic Performance of Ag modified and doped TiO2 nanoparticles

Cho C-P, Chang L.-H., National Chi-Nan University, TW

In this work, TBOT was used as the titanium source for preparation of TiO2 nanoparticles, followed by calcination at 500°C for 2 hours to achieve fine TiO2 nanoparticles powder (S1). The obtained S1 powder was [...]

Multifunctional plasmonic nanoparticles for biomedical applications

Sotiriou G.A., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

Plasmonic nanoparticles play an important role in biomedical applications today as they can serve as superior optically-stable bioimaging agents, be employed in biosensor devices for the early diagnosis of diseases, and exhibit promising results for [...]

Au, Ag and Au-Ag nanoparticles: microwave-assisted synthesis in water and applications in ceramic and catalysis

Blosi M., Albonetti S., Gatti F., Dondi M., Migliori A., Ortolani L., Morandi V., Baldi G., Istec-CNR, IT

The research was focused on the synthesis of Au, Ag and Au-Ag core-shell sols, prepared by a patented microwave-assisted green synthesis. The method provides colloidal mono and bimetallic nanoparticles throughout the reduction of precursor’s salts [...]

Cytotoxicity of Nano-materials on Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell

Shin D.C., Jang J.Y., Yang J-Y, Kim C.S., Kim S-H, Choi I.H., Lim Y.W., Kim C.S., Kim S-H, Lee G.T., Yonsei University, KR

This study was undertaken to address the current deficient knowledge of cellular response to nano sized particle exposure.[4] The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro responses of human bronchial epithelial cells [...]
