compressed CO2. The results showed that different morphologies of PANI nanorods and PANI nanoparticles were produced using the conventional polymerization with and without compressed CO2 respectively. Molecular characterization of the produced materials using FTIR and XRD showed that the two prepared Polyaniline forms using the two different techniques are of the emeraldine salt state. It was indicated that PANI nanoparticles structure has an average diameter of 50nm, while PANI nanorods…
“They didn 't understand what they were doing. I 'm afraid that will be on the tombstone of the human race” (Crichton 504). The expansion of science and research is a beneficial aspect of humanity as cures for diseases, food growth, and national/international security, can be discovered, solved, and utilized by furthering technological research. Having nanoids being used to heal serious injuries, curing major diseases instantly, or even having them maintain national security, may seem like…
Nanospheres of gold and organic suppress the development of skin cancer - scientists MOSCOW, July 2 - RIA Novosti. US bioengineers were able to successfully suppress the growth of skin cancer cells using microspheres of gold nanoparticles and spherical molecules of RNA, and published their findings in an article in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Now we can start a fight with a host of diseases. Thanks to the project "Human Genome" and all work in this area over…
enhances as the number of trap levels increases on increasing the time of reaction. This enhances the formation of charge transfer complexes (CTCs) (trap levels) on PVA-Ag nanocomposites and with increasing the time of reaction (The doping of silver nanoparticles forms the trap levels, rich in charge carriers, which enhances the order of current in PVA matrix in the voltage range), where the measured values of the figure are…
some benefits of nanotechnology? A core characteristic of nanotechnology and nanoparticles are their small size. With an increased surface area material can increase their reactivity whilst using fewer materials. Nanotechnology can be used in many different areas, such as, medicine, agriculture and cosmetics. Are there dangers or risks associated with Nanotechnology? Organ dysfunction can occur in animals, nanoparticles can easily enter the bloodstream through inhalation or the skin due to…
medication during the time they wore such patch. This new product is an elastic film that has studded biocompatible microcapsules that are packed with nanoparticles that can be filled with whatever drugs are needed (Di, Yao, Ye, Cui, yu, Ghosh, Zhu, & Gu. (2015). The simplicity of how it works is easy. The medication slowly leaks out of the nanoparticles and are stored in the microcapsules. When the patient’s movements stretch the elastic film, it stretches the microcapsules – enlarging the…
evidence. Cisar said in research he had conducted, nanoparticles had tested positive with a stain for nucleic acids, but when he and his team tried to extract these nucleic acids, none had been found. His positive staining for nucleic acids shows that there is possibly some DNA in nanobacteria and his inability to extract the nucleic acids can be attributed to the meagerness of the current level of technology. The instruments and procedures used in nanoparticle research have yet to be perfected…
Nanotechnology can help diabetic patients monitor and control their blood glucose levels. I choose to write about this topic for the following reasons; I was recently diagnosed with the disease, and there is an alarming number of Americans suffering from this disease today. With the help of Nanotechnology, I believe we are on track to a cure in the near future. Here are few of the statistics. There are two types of diabetes diagnosis which are type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is…
Bacterium Inoculums preparations for the MIC and MBC experiments From the previous isolated and identified MRSA and VRSA S. aureus isolates, four MRSA+VRSA and four MRSA+VSSA isolates were chosen for MIC and MBC experiments. With a sterile loop, a loopfull from each chosen isolate was inoculated from the BHI slant into MH broth then incubated with shaking at 37°C overnight for 24 hours. The concentrations of these suspensions were adjusted to be equal to the 0.5 McFarland standards by adding a…
3a–b. All the catalyst nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the carbon support with a graphitic layer. Although the average particle size of Pt and PtFeS catalysts, obtained from more than 20 nanoparticles in their corresponding TEM images, is 3.12 and 3.37 nm, respectively, a clear difference in the morphology was observed. The TEM image of Pt catalyst shows spherical shaped Pt nanoparticles, in contrast to PtFeS catalyst exhibiting a mixture of spherical…
