Background: For centuries, silver has been known for its anti-bacterial effects. It also helps in the prevention and control of various infections. Silver, when synthesized in nano-size, is much more effective, so the trend of using silver nanoparticles in treating mild bacterial diseases to deadly infectious diseases has increased rapidly. Methods: Silver nanoparticles can be synthesized by physical, chemical, and biological method Read More

In the past decades, it has been evident that nano miniaturization technology plays a vital role in innovations, biomedical and industrial applications. Most importantly, the use of Lab on chip (LOC) is revolutionizing and highly replacing the use of conventional technologies due to its advantages that include reliability, biocompatibility, tunability, portability, controllability, cost-effective, low time, and energy consumption with more Read More

Background: A lot of work has been done by many researchers to develop a system that is targeted at a specific site. Nanosponges are one of the systems that serve this purpose and have several advantages over other methods. Objective: The article’s strategy is to provide access to data regarding the nanosponges system, including its preparation, evaluation, and advantages in various fields, such as the transportation of Read More

In the present scenario, various novel delivery systems are available for drug delivery to systemic circulation. So, to accomplish a greater therapeutic effect, the nature of the drug delivery is very important. This delivery is one of the innovative approaches where the drug is targeted to the brain through the nasal cavity. As we know, the human brain is the most crucial part of the body that controls various functions of ou Read More

Introduction: Nilotinib is a BCS class-IV poorly water-soluble kinase inhibitor drug, that was used for this study to prepare the polymeric nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation technique using Eudragit RL-100 and RS-100 as polymers, Killophore P-188 as a surfactant, and PEG 400 used as a non-volatile, and nontoxic solvent for the improvement of the drug solubility and dissolution rate. Methods: The initial process and for Read More

Background: the performance of nano modified cement based materials is substantial in terms of their mechanical durability and other similar properties that are of great importance in the functional life of cement structures. The motivation of this study is to formulate conclusions concerning the anti-corrosive impact of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on the properties of mortar specimens Read More

Introduction: In this study, a simple and facile route was employed to prepare a highly transparent and luminescent ultra-thin gallium doped ZnO film (GZO). Methods: The thin GZO film has been deposited using the simultaneously ultrasonic vibration and sol-gel spin-spray coating technique. The structural and optical properties of pure and doped thin films were investigated by various methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Read More
