Novel extracellular synthesized silver nanoparticles using thermophilic and and their evaluation as nanodrugs.

In this investigation, two new thermophilic bacteria were isolated. The new isolates were characterized by 16S rRNA, biochemical, morphological, and physiological analyzes and the isolates were identified as strain Gecek20 and thermophilic strain Gecek19. Various biological activities of extracellular Ag-NPs synthesized from thermophilic strain Gecek20 and thermophilic strain Gecek19 were evaluated.

Fluorinated Phthalocyanine/Silver Nanoconjugates for Multifunctional Biological Applications.

In this study, a new phthalonitrile derivative namely 4-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethynyl]phthalonitrile (1) and its metal phthalocyanines (2 and 3) were synthesized. The resultant compounds were conjugated to silver nanoparticles and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The biological properties of compounds (1-3), their nanoconjugates (4-6), and silver nanoparticles (7) were examined for the first time in this study.

A comparative study of iron nanoflower and nanocube in terms of antibacterial properties.

Unlabelled: It is known that heavy metal containing nanomaterials can easily prevent the formation of microbial cultures. The emergence of new generation epidemic diseases in the last 2 years has increased the importance of both personal and environmental hygiene. For this reason, in addition to preventing the spread of diseases, studies on alternative disinfectant substances are also carried out.

Antifouling and antibacterial performance evaluation of polyethersulfone membranes modified with AZ63 alloy.

Antibacterial membranes have attracted researchers' interest in recent years as a possible approach for dealing with biofouling on the membrane surface. This research aims to see if blending AZ63 Mg alloy into a polyethersulphone (PES) membrane can improve antifouling and separation properties. The composite membranes' pure water flux continued to increase from pristine PES to PES/AZ63 2.

Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for enhanced tumor penetration.

The intrinsic pathological characteristics of tumor microenvironments restrict the deep penetration of nanomedicines by passive diffusion. Magnetophoresis is a promising strategy to improve the tumor penetration of nanomedicines aided by the external magnetic propulsive force. However, the research thus far has been focused on large nanoparticles, while ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (FeO) nanoparticles (<∼20 nm) exhibit better performance in many applications such as cancer diagnosis and treatment.
