Hydroxyapatite Formation

A new melted bioactive system containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared exploiting a post-synthesis thermal treatment that allows one to modify crystal phases and nature, shape and distribution of the gold species in the glass-ceramic matrix as evidenced by UV–visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. In human MG-63 osteoblasts the presence of Au n + species caused an increase of lactate dehydrogenase leakage and malonyldialdehyde production, whereas Hench's Bioglass HAu-600-17 containing only AuNPs did not cause any effect. In addition, HAu-600-17 caused in vitro hydroxyapatite formation and an increase of specific surface area with a controlled release of gold species; this material is then suitable to be used as a model system for the controlled delivery of nanoparticles.

Aluminum (0.5 at.%)-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD) in oxygen ambient of 10[Formula: see text] Torr. The deposited thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and uv–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Next, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by Hummers method and was characterized by XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thereafter, GO solution was drop-casted on AZO thin films. These films were then characterized by Raman Spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy and PL. Attempt is being made to comprehend the modifications in properties brought about by integration.

A polyaniline supported titanium dioxide photocatalyst was prepared by an impregnation-hydrothermal process and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. It was found that the TiO2 nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surface of the polyaniline and the photocatalyst has a stronger absorption compared with that of pure TiO2 over the whole of the visible spectrum. The photocatalyst exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than pure TiO2 for the photodegradation of solutions of the anthraquinone dye, reactive brilliant blue KN-R, under visible light irradiation.

AbstractThe current work described the preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the plant extract of Impatiens balsamina followed by evaluating their wound-healing potential. The formed NPs were studied by performing UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Further, both the thermal and excision wound models were used to understand the wound-healing ability of AuNPs. It is exhibited that at a concentration of 20 mg, the AuNPs exhibited substantial decrease in excision wound within 8 days. The obtained wound-healing results indicated that the AuNPs prepared from the leaf extract of I. balsamina exhibited active wound-healing potential when related to traditional drugs; hence, AuNPs could have future applications in the development of dressing materials in nursing care for wound healing after surgery.

In recent years, green nanotechnology-based approaches using plant materials have been accepted as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach with various biomedical applications. In the current study, AgNPs were synthesized using the seed extract of the Eugenia uniflora L. (E.uniflora). Characterization was done using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses. The formation of AgNPs has confirmed through UV-Visible spectroscopy (at 466 nm) by the change of color owing to surface Plasmon resonance. Based on the XRD pattern, the crystalline property of AgNPs was established. The functional group existing in seed of E.uniflora extract accountable for the reduction of Ag+ ion and the stabilization of AgNPs was investigated. The morphological structures and elemental composition was determined by SEM and EDX analysis. With the growing application of AgNPs in biomedical perspectives, the biosynthesized AgNPs were evaluated for their antibacterial and along with their antidiabetic potential. The results showed that AgNPs are extremely effective with potent antidiabetic potential at a very low concentration. It also exhibited potential antibacterial activity against the three tested human pathogenic bacteria. Overall, the results highlight the effectiveness and potential applications of AgNPs in biomedical fields such as in the treatment of acute illnesses as well as in drug formulation for treating various diseases such as cancer and diabetes. It could be concluded that E. uniflora seed extract AgNPs can be used efficiently for in vitro evaluation of their antibacterial and antidiabetic effects with potent biomedical applications.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases

This paper presents the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles from the bacteria, Serratia marcescens.The intra-and extra-cellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles is shown to occur over a range of pH and incubation times in cell-free exracts and biomass ofserratia marcescensthat were reacted with 2.5mM Tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4). The formation of gold nanoparticles was identified initially via color changes from yellow auro-chloride to shades of red or purple in gold nanoparticle solutions. UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) were also used to characterize gold nanoparticles produced within a range of pH conditions. The results show clearly that the production of gold nanoparticles from cell-free extracts require shorter times than the production of gold nanoparticles from the biomass.

A new compound, namely, [Zn(L)2]n (1) was obtained by the reaction of 2-methyl-4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) benzoic acid (HL) with ZnSO4·7H2O, and the compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermogravimetric analysis. The linear HL ligands were deprotonated to be L− anions and act as two-connectors to link Zn2+ to form a two-dimensional (2D) lay structure with (4, 4) topology. The large vacancy of 2D framework allows another layer structure to interpenetrate, resulting in the formation of 2D + 2D → 2D parallel interpenetration in 1. The weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions, connect the adjacent 2D layers into a three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer. The solid-state UV-visible spectroscopy and luminescent property have also been studied.
