Cancer is a life-threatening disease that is associated with persistent tissue injury and uncontrolled cell growth. The treatments available to treat cancer include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. These treatments are utilized in combination, while the most preferred treatment is chemotherapy. Because of the non-specificity of anticancer drugs, they kill healthy cells along with cancer cells, which lead to severe sid Read More

Background: Self-cleaning is a potential technique in architecture environmental decontamination. Objective: The fabrication and self-cleaning property enhancement of the TiO2 hybridizing reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and codoping Si and Mo are reported. Methods: The films were deposited by a sol-gel dip-coating process. The self-cleaning properties were characterized by photocatalytic activity, photoinduced supe Read More

Background: Heavy metal contamination of water resources has been identified as one of the most serious environmental issues. Chemical modification of hydrophobic polymer matrices is another approach for changing their surface properties for water treatment. The addition of nanoparticles to polymers alters surface characteristics such as adsorption capacity, adhesion, catalytic ability, and wettability to heavy Read More

Background: In recent years, electronic noses have emerged as a component of nanotechnology- based technologies to meet various demands in the health sciences. Objective: To have a detailed idea regarding the various uses of electronic noses in the early detection of diseases, food spoilage, etc., we need to explore multiple studies. Methods: Electronic noses are the foundation for the development of biosensors, whi Read More

Background: The research of nanocomposites based on ferroelectrics has been recently stimulated by the discovery of a number of their unique properties. These properties are of particular interest from both fundamental and applied points of view. Objective: This paper presents the results of comparative studies of the linear and nonlinear dielectric properties of potassium nitrate embedded from the solution and from the Read More

Introduction: The present work aims to increase the saturation solubility and the bioavailability of Olmesartan medoxomil (OM) via an acid-base neutralization-based nanosuspension technique. Methods: The initial screening studies revealed that changes in the concentration of HPMC E15 (100-200 mg), mechanical stirring speed (SS) (900-1200 rpm) and stirring time (ST) (60-120 min) affected the responses. Effects produc Read More
