Gaining critical mass: A dose metric conversion study using silver nanoparticles

Kennedy A.J., Hull M.S., Diamond S., Chappell M., Bednar A., Bednar A.J., Bednar A., Bednar A.J., Steevens J.A., US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, US

Mass is still the standard dose metric applied in the nano(eco)toxicology literature. Greater particle surface area or number may be more relevant dose metrics than mass to represent particle interactions with biological surfaces. This investigation [...]

Boehmite nanometric with high surface area synthesized from a microwaves hydrothermal method

Quirino M.R., Oliveira M.J.C., Keyson D., Gama L., Bosco J., Federal University of Paraíba, BR

As the crystallization kinetics is enhanced by the introduction of the microwave hydrothermal method, the arm of this work was to produce and characterize boehmite by microwave-assisted hydrothermal. Boehmite nanostructure were synthesized by a hydrothermal [...]

Controlling the Size and Morphology of Silver Nanoparticles: Role of Chemical Routes

Ahmad T., Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University), IN

The preparation of nanoparticles with well defined size and morphology is an important challenge for various industrial applications. Silver nanoparticles with controlled size and morphology have been prepared successfully through various chemical routes (Inverse microemulsions, [...]
