Results show that the solution chemistry affected the colloidal stability and aggregation kinetics of CeO₂ NPs. The pH point of zero charge (pH_PZC) of CeO₂ NPs was measured at pH 10.2 with diameter of CeO₂ NPs aggregates of ∼1,700 nm. The effects of Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ and HA and FA on the magnitudes and rates of aggregation were pH-dependent. In addition, when salts were present in the aqueous systems, although the CeO₂ NPs were stable at pH < pH_PZC (expect for 1 mM of NaCl/CaCl₂) and pH > pH_PZC (except for 0.5 mM CaCl₂), the aggregation was enhanced at pH = pH_PZC, with the diameter of CeO₂ NPs in the ∼1,300–3,600 nm range. HA also stabilized CeO₂ NPs under pH > pH_PZC with an enhanced aggregation of pH = pH_PZC with the diameter of CeO₂ NPs in the ∼1,500–1,900 nm range, and in the presence of 0 and 1 mM of NaCl/CaCl₂ at pH < pH_PZC. At three pH levels (8.2, 10.2, and 12.2) and under all different electrolyte concentrations (0–1 mM of NaCl or CaCl₂), FA (0.14 mg/L) exhibited a greater degree of efficiency in stabilizing CeO₂ NPs than HA (5 mg/L), with CeO₂ NPs aggregates growing at low rates and resulting in diameter of ∼95–115 nm.","PeriodicalId":16442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139584283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides their use as antifungal and antimicrobial agents, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the most widespread nanomaterials and are found in a capacious range of agrocommercial products. This study was designed to investigate the responses of morphophysiological characteristics in barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> L.) to biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles. Spherical shapes with 8–20 nm size AgNPs at different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L) were applied to barley plants in a hydroponic system. Following 7 days of sowing, the growth performance, chlorophyll contents, oxidative damage, and the activity level of antioxidant enzymes were quantified in different parts of the plant. The results indicated a remarkable boost in the growth performance and chlorophyll contents of barley plants up to a concentration of 150 mg/L. Interestingly, the levels of proline, lipid peroxidation, enzymes; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), (APX), and (GR) activities were enhanced significantly in response to all AgNPs treatments. In general, the application of AgNPs substantially improved the growth and related morphophysiological attributes in barley.

Biocompatible metallic nanoparticle-loaded wound dressing offers a novel opportunity for effectively overcoming the inherent drawbacks of traditional wound dressing materials, particularly in overcoming nonhealing chronic wounds due to their clinical complexity, for example, wound infections, chronic irritation, and trauma, persistence of foreign body or bacterial proteins, and ischemia.

Owing to the risk of agglomeration and complications during the manufacturing of solid dosage forms, the problems associated with the solidification of nanosuspensions need to be addressed. Herein, the nanocrystallized suspension of fenofibrate (Feno) was prepared using the wet-milling technique, and then two solidification methods, mixing (liquid mixing) and granulation (dry powder blending and wet massing) methods, were investigated. The solidification process involved the adsorption of Feno as a very thin layer on the high-surface-area Florite® to prevent drug accumulation. The critical quality attributes, particle size and dissolution rate, were performed. Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy were also used to monitor the existence and physical state of drug molecules in the carrier. The final solidified powders and tablets containing Feno nanocrystals improved the dissolution profile (&gt;90% in 15 min), in which the physical properties of Feno were maintained during solidification and tableting. In general, the granulation method is more advantageous than the mixing method in terms of maintaining amorphous proportion and dissolution rate.

The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) <i>S. aureus</i> strains has become a pressing concern for healthcare systems, driving researchers to explore novel therapeutic strategies for managing infections associated with this pathogen. In this pursuit, niosomal-based platforms have emerged as promising candidates to effectively target <i>S. aureus</i> and fight conventional antimicrobial resistance. Niosomes comprise a bilayer membrane formed by nonionic surfactants, which can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. These nanoparticles are known as vesicular delivery systems and have many advantages, such as low cost, less toxicity, and more flexibility and stability. Moreover, niosomes, being an effective drug delivery system, can directly interact with the bacterial cell envelope, thereby enhancing the pharmacokinetic activities of drugs at infected sites. A niosome-based delivery system can effectively treat <i>S. aureus</i> infections by destroying the biofilm community, increasing intracellular targeting, and enhancing the antibacterial activity. The main mechanisms of action of niosomes against resistant <i>S. aureus</i> strains involve the ability to resist enzymatic degradation, controlled release profile, and targeted drug delivery, which can provide an effective dosage of antimicrobial agents at the site of actions. In addition, niosomes have the potential to transfer wide-spectrum materials from different classes of antibiotics to nonantibiotic antimicrobial agents, such as natural compounds, antimicrobial peptides, and metallic nanoparticles. The combination of polymeric materials in the structure of a niosomal formulation could improve their bioavailability, loading capacity, and therapeutic efficacy for different applications. Furthermore, niosomes could find application in photodynamic therapy, offering a promising alternative to conventional treatments for eradicating drug-resistant <i>S. aureus</i> isolates. Finally, niosomal nanocarriers can be developed for delivering the drugs to desired sites by different routes of administration and could be considered a powerful strategy for overcoming the therapeutic obstacles caused by MDR <i>S. aureus</i>.","PeriodicalId":16442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138581751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, one of the remained issues in the drift–diffusion modeled-based works is the difficulty to reach the IB carrier continuity through the self-consistent manner. In most of the previous reports the constraints were relaxed or just partially satisfied; which render the unreliable performance results and misguide the device design strategy. In this work, in order to solve this issue and to validate our results, we performed extensive simulations to fully disclose the significant effect of the IB continuity constraints by taking InAs/GaAs quantum dot-based IBSC as a model device using the semiconductor modules in COMSOL Multiphysics combined with the Fortran codes. We found that under rigorous satisfaction of IB continuity constraint, the band potential profiles for the IBSC with either doped or nondoped IB under various light illumination conditions are nearly identical to those under the dark conditions. Moreover, from the simulated current–voltage curve dependence on the light concentration ratio, we found the device performance based on drift–diffusion under rigorous IB continuity constraint showed similar tendency to the features simulated based on detailed balance principle except the much-lowered power conversion efficiency. Our work demonstrated here, serves as an accurate and reliable IBSC device design approach toward better IB material screening, efficiency improvement, optical management, and extended application in the emerging field such as the perovskite material-based IBSC.","PeriodicalId":16442,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nanomaterials","volume":"193 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
