Microwave/ultrasonic powered in-liquid plasma-assisted synthesis of 3D-hierarchical nanoporous network wheat-straw lignin/thiadiazole amide-modified cellulose sponge composite for oil-in-water emulsion separation and microbiological disinfection.

Innovative super-hydrophilic/superoleophobic eco-friendly sponge composite is fabricated by integrating chemically-modified cellulose with lignin derived from bio-waste wheat-straw. Such combination is implemented by modifying cellulose with thiadiazole-amide and integrating it with lignin using microwave/ultrasonic-powered in-liquid plasma. Physicochemical characteristics of sponge-composite (WL-TDAC) are studied using FTIR, N-physisorption, DLS, SEM, chemical-computational analysis, and surface wettability.

Superb bio-effectiveness of Cobalt (II) phthalocyanine and Ag NPs adorned Sm-doped ZnO nanorods/cuttlefish bone to annihilate Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae and adult worms: In-vitro evaluation.

Herein, innovative biocides are designed for the treatment of Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae (ML) and adult worms. Samarium-doped ZnO nanorods (Sm-doped ZnO) are stabilized onto the laminar structure of cuttlefish bone (CB) matrix and adorned by either Ag NPs or cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) species. Physicochemical characteristics of such nanocomposites are scrutinised.

Microwave-assisted hydrothermal fabrication of hierarchical-stacked mesoporous decavanadate-intercalated ZnAl nanolayered double hydroxide to exterminate different developmental stages of and .

Hierarchically stacked mesoporous zinc-aluminium nanolayered-double-hydroxide intercalated with decavanadate (ZnAl-LDH-VO) is constructed using anion-exchange process via microwave-hydrothermal treatment. Physicochemical properties of ZnAl-LDH-VO are characterized in detail. Decavanadate anions are intimately interacted with ZnAl-LDH nanosheets, generating highly ordered architecture of well-dimensioned stacking blocks of brucite-like nanolayers (∼8 nm).

Destructive effect of iron overload in brain tissue of albino rats: Ameliorative role of silver immobilized organo-modified casein nanocomposite as co-treating agent with Deferasirox.

Background: Iron (Fe) is one of the most essential trace elements in the body that play crucial role in organisms' survival, however, excess deposition of it puts patients at higher risk of iron overload and tissue injury through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), elevation of oxidative stress, development of endocrine disorders among which hypogonadism, and increased incidence of cells damage in vital organs. As deferasirox (DFX) is an approved Fe chelator drug, its inability to cross blood brain barrier (BBB) remains a definite obstacle against its use as Fe chelator in the brain. Lately, attention to nanoparticles usage in researches has been widely grown since their role in improving drug therapeutic effects and scavenging free radicals make them good candidates as chelating and antioxidant agents.

Photoactivated water-disinfecting, and biological properties of Ag NPs@Sm-doped ZnO nanorods/cuttlefish bone composite: In-vitro bactericidal, cercaricidal and schistosomicidal studies.

Herein, eco-friendly composite was synthesized by embedding silver (Ag) nanospheres onto aragonitic cuttlefish bone (CB)-stabilized samarium doped zinc oxide (Sm-doped ZnO) nanorods. The operating interaction profile and the photoactive behavior of this nanocomposite were assessed via XRD, FTIR, Raman, TEM, FE-SEM, DLS, DRS and PL techniques. Locality of Sm-doped ZnO and its attaching modes to the cuttlefish bone lamella were highly dominated by embedding Ag NPs that encouraged Zn Lewis acid sites to electrostatically interact with aragonite carbonates in the channeled porous CB system.

Ceria-containing uncoated and coated hydroxyapatite-based galantamine nanocomposites for formidable treatment of Alzheimer's disease in ovariectomized albino-rat model.

This paper upraises delivery and therapeutic actions of galantamine drug (GAL) against Alzheimer's disease (AD) in rat brain through attaching GAL to ceria-containing hydroxyapatite (GAL@Ce-HAp) as well ceria-containing carboxymethyl chitosan-coated hydroxyapatite (GAL@Ce-HAp/CMC) nanocomposites. Physicochemical features of such nanocomposites were analyzed by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometer, N2-BET, DLS, zeta-potential measurements, SEM, and HR-TEM. Limited interactions were observed in GAL@Ce-HAp with prevailed existence of dispersed negatively charged rod-like particles conjugated with ceria nanodots.

Exfoliated Egyptian kaolin immobilized heteropolyoxotungstate nanocomposite as an innovative antischistosomal agent: In vivo and in vitro bioactive studies.

This study aims to manipulate an antischistosomal nanocomposite based on exfoliated clay immobilized heteropolyoxotungstate. The nanocomposite's physicochemical characteristics were examined using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, DLS, SEM, HR-TEM and AFM. Nano-sized spheroidal negatively charged Keggin-type heteropolyoxotungstate particles were developed along and between the exfoliated clay layers.
