Background: Nanoemulsions are submicron-sized suspensions that are being studied extensively as pharmacological vehicles for enhancing the outcomes of drug delivery. Nanoemulsions are isotropic thermodynamic systems in which two immiscible liquids (water and oil) are combined to form a single phase using pertinent surfactants. Nano-emulsions are resilient to sedimentation or creaming due to their nano-droplet siz Read More

Green synthesis of nanoparticles is an emerging topic with many significant applications in environmental and biomedical fields. The main aim of green synthesis is the development of ecofriendly nanoparticles using biological materials, like plants and microbes and thus, reducing the practice of utilizing toxic substances. Different plant-derived materials are regularly utilized to synthesise sustainable nanoparticles with almost c Read More

This review describes the basic and application aspects of the optical properties of nanoparticles (NPs), which determine the dynamics and results of optical (laser) radiation interaction with NPs and their surroundings through NP light absorption and heat generation. In addition to the importance of primary optical processes, the thermal application of the light–NP interaction has attracted significant interest from vario Read More

Introduction: A chemical formula of nanocomposite 0.1 Bi2/3Cu3Ti4O12 -0.9 Bi3LaTi3O12 (BCLT-19) was prepared by semi wet route using metal nitrate and solid TiO2. The phase formation of Bi2/3Cu3Ti4O12 (BCT) and Bi3LaTi3O12 (BLT) was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) study. Methods: Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis showed a nanoparticle of size 14 ± 5 nm on average for BCLT-19 composites Read More

Background: Letrozole (LTZ) is an aromatase inhibitor used to treat hormonally positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Letrozole is categorized as a BCS class I drug. It has poor water solubility, rapid metabolism and a range of side effects. Objective: Nanosuspension is a technique that enhances the drug's solubility and bioavailability, resulting in a faster start of the effect. The present study aimed to form Read More

Background: When halide salts and hydrogen bond donors are combined, they produce deep eutectic solvents, which have a lower freezing/melting point than the individual components. At room temperature, they have emerged as viable alternatives to ionic liquids. The wonderful features of deep eutectic solvents, such as humidity tolerance, high-temperature stability, low cost, nonhazardous, reusable, and recyclable nature, Read More

Background: Biogenic fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles has been gaining interest over conventional methods. Biological methods make use of plant materials and microbial agents as reducing as well as capping agents. The present work reports the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs from agricultural wastes produced in every household. Objectives: A significant portion of municipal solid organic waste (MSOW) consists of a Read More
