Article Synopsis
- Colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are typically synthesized using heated or boiling water with HAuCl and sodium citrate, but high temperatures can lead to particle aggregation.
- This study introduces a new method for creating ultra-stable AuNPs using citric acid, dihydrolipoic acid, and dihydrolipoic acid-alanine, which allows for rapid synthesis under UV light at room temperature.
- The research examines how various factors like reaction time, temperature, and pH influence AuNP formation and stability, and demonstrates the AuNPs' ability to efficiently catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.
Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in synthesizing organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs) have led to significant improvements in enzyme activity and stability.
- These hNFs, which were discovered accidentally, outperform free and traditionally immobilized enzymes in catalytic performance.
- The review focuses on the application of hNFs as innovative sensors for various detection methods, such as electrochemical, colorimetric, and immunoassays in analytical settings.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how biogenic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) made through green synthesis affect the bond strength of three universal adhesives and their ability to combat the bacteria Streptococcus mutans.
- Three universal adhesives were used, and Ag NPs were added at a concentration of 0.05%. Various tests, including bond strength measurements and antibacterial tests, were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these nanoparticles.
- Results showed that all adhesive groups containing Ag NPs exhibited significantly greater antibacterial properties than those without, suggesting the potential benefits of incorporating Ag NPs in dental adhesives.
The ethylenediaminetetradiacetic acid (EDTA) is one of the most commonly used irrigation solutions. Although EDTA has a very low antimicrobial property, it is used to remove inorganic part of smear layer in areas of root canal system. Herein, we developed EDTA-incorporated nanoflowers (EDTA NFs), for the first time, as novel and effective irrigation solution with quite high antimicrobial property to provide complete disinfection in root canal system.
