Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represent a unique class of nanomaterials with remarkable properties with a wide variety of applications in diverse scientific and technical domains. However, one of the many challenges still requiring improvement is undoubted...

The optoelectronic properties of one-dimensional nanomaterials play an important role in electronic devices. In the present work, pristine and doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and WS2 nanotubes (WS2NT) are investigated by using absorption, Raman, and TH...

In this work, silver nanostars were synthesized using silver nitrate, ascorbic acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), where the concentration of PVP varied from 0.1 to 10 mM. The morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy where it was obser...

Y-shaped polymer brushes contain two homopolymer branches attached at single grafting points. So far, monodisperse systems have mostly been studied in theory and through simulation. Introducing polydispersity can reveal new options to control the sur...

This study focuses on the design, production, and characterization of lipid-based nanosystems for the delivery of manganese-based compounds in diagnostic multimodal imaging techniques. Anionic liposomes, obtained by the direct hydration method and ex...

Peroxidase was produced by Aspergillus flavus KIGC on the 11th day of fermentation when grown on banana peel as the sole carbon source. It was purified 8.86-fold with a percentage of recovery of 49.72%. The purified peroxidase was immobilized on magn...

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), with diameters less than 2 nanometers, have particular fluorescent properties. These nanoclusters can be prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis using BSA (bovine serum albumin) as a template [1]. During the synthesis, Au(...

We have performed full-stack research of Pd1−xFex and Pd1-xCox (x = 0.01–0.1) alloys. At the first stage, the occurrence of impurity ferromagnetism in the considered alloys was studied employing the density functional theory (DFT). At the...

The toxic effects of nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) in their 92-day oral administration to male Wistar rats at doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg body weight were evaluated. An increase in glycemia, triglyceride, LDL, total protein, and its globulin fraction...

In recent years, significant attention was given to the quantum or nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots coupled to plasmonic nanostructures. A phenomenon that was studied is the modification of the resonance fluorescence spectru...
