Oligomer-stabilized silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial coatings for plastics

The development of composite materials consisting of metal nanoparticles embedded in macromolecular compounds, obtained via in-situ reduction process has attracted research interest. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized by a one-step …

Single step synthesis of a polyhydroxy ether and its optimization to adsorption of a textile dye

An ion exchange resin was designed by combining different ratios of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) and imidazole (IM). The aim of the research was to obtain in a single step a resin with permanent positive charges. The strategy was to use …

Targeted anti-inflammatory peptide delivery in injured endothelial cells using dermatan sulfate/chitosan nanomaterials

This work describes a novel delivery system for targeting egg-derived anti-inflammatory tripeptide Ile-Arg-Trp (IRW) to endothelial cells. The nanomedicine is synthesized by a simple and reproducible ionotropic gelification method that results in the …

The chemistry and applications of Gem-Diols

Geminal diols or gem-diols are the product of the addition of water to a carbonyl group of either an aldehyde or a ketone. These compounds are rarely stable and seldom found in the liquid or solid state since the moisture balance is largely dependent …

3-Hydroxykynurenic acid: Physicochemical properties and fluorescence labeling

Quinoline is one of the most important heterocyclic systems in life sciences. Some derivatives are normal metabolites, and others are used as antibacterial, antimalarial, and anticancer agents. In this work, we describe the synthesis, physicochemical …

Characterization of the copper transporters from lotus spp. and their involvement under flooding conditions

Forage legumes are an important livestock nutritional resource, which includes essential metals, such as copper. Particularly, the high prevalence of hypocuprosis causes important economic losses to Argentinian cattle agrosystems. Copper deficiency …

Fingerprint imaging using N-doped carbon dots

Carbon Dots (CDs) were obtained using a hydrothermal method and used for the detection of fingerprints through fluorescent imaging. Synthesized CDs exhibited a brightness emission at 495 nm, which was related to their structural and chemical …

Interaction of carbohydrate coated cerium-oxide nanoparticles with wheat and pea: Stress induction potential and effect on development

Reports about the influence of cerium-oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) on plants are contradictory due to their positive and negative effects on plants. Surface modification may affect the interaction of nCeO2 with the environment, and hence its …

Kinetic and equilibrium adsorption of two post-harvest fungicides onto copper-exchanged montmorillonite: synergic and antagonistic effects of both fungicides’ presence

The simultaneous adsorption of both imazalil (IMZ) and thiabendazole (TBZ) fungicides in a Cu 2+ -exchanged Mt was studied in this work. Kinetic studies were used to determine the rate law which describes the adsorption of individual fungicides onto …

Linear polyethylenimine-decorated gold nanoparticles: One-step electrodeposition and studies of interaction with viral and animal proteins

Polyethylenimine (PEI)-decorated gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were electrodeposited on conductive surfaces in one-step procedure. Solution-state NMR evidenced that chloride from PEI.HCl was partially exchanged by AuCl 4 − prior to AuNP formation. XPS …
