Membrane separation is at the forefront of the technologies for desalination and wastewater treatment. However, current membranes have inherent limitations, including permeability/ selectivity trade-off and fouling susceptibility. To overcome these limitations, a new generation of advanced membranes based on nanomaterials has emerged. Among the nanomaterials, Graphene Oxide (GO) is regarded as the most Read More

It is an age of nanomaterials. Nanotechnology has revolutionized the scientific world. Every sphere of technology has benefited significantly by using nanomaterials. A number of physical and chemical methods are being used for the synthesis of nanomaterials. In recent years, much emphasis is placed on green synthesis, particularly by using plant extracts or microorganisms. This is useful for promoting environmenta Read More

Background: Colloidal systems are used in various industrial and medical applications. Nanoparticles have good physio-chemical properties that enhance the performance of the system. Nano-emulsions can be synthesized by ultrasonication. Ultrasonication is the simplest method as compared to other available methods. The purpose of this article is to review the recent advances in ultrasound- assisted nano-emulsion Read More

Ultra-thin graphene has been receiving significance in the diverse sections of material science, owing to its exceptional physicochemical and thermo-mechanical characteristics. Currently, the fabrication of high-grade graphene in an economical target and green procedures area is a massive concern. Among the diverse techniques, chemical-mediated fabrication is believed to be the finest process since it is simple, sc Read More

Nanotechnology is an emerging outlet of nanoscience in which the atoms are encompassed in nanoscale dimensions and become more receptive compared with their distinctive counterparts. Recently, the utilization of synthetic designs and physicochemical approaches has received special attention; nevertheless, the generation of noxious impressions on the eco-system has raised serious concerns of the scientific communit Read More

For the last two decades, extensive research is conducted on metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and their application in the field of medical, cosmetics, catalysts, packaging, photonics, agriculture and electronics. However, these nanoparticles show toxicity to the environmental, human and animal health. The toxicity effects of nanoparticles are mainly due to their size, which can easily pass through physiological barriers Read More

Objective: In the present study, we assessed the adjunct effect of vitamin D3 in combination with Fluconazole (FLZ) against Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) in mice. Methods: Prophylactic effect was assessed by pretreating mice with vitamin D3 before exposure of mice with 2 X 106 CFUs of Candida albicans followed by treatment with FLZ. To determine the combined therapeutic efficacy, C. albicans infected mice were treate Read More

Background: Cancer is a non-communicable disease with increasing incidence and mortality rates worldwide, including Thailand. Its apparent lack of effective treatments is posing challenging public health issues. Introduction: Encouraging research results indicating probable anti-cancer properties of the Delonix regia flower Extract (DRE) have prompted us to evaluate the feasibility of developing a type of product for futu Read More
