Ni Nanoparticles on the Reduced Graphene Oxide Surface Synthesized in Supercritical Isopropanol.

Nanocomposites based on ferromagnetic nickel nanoparticles and graphene-related materials are actively used in various practical applications such as catalysis, sensors, sorption, etc. Therefore, maintaining their dispersity and homogeneity during deposition onto the reduced graphene oxide substrate surface is of crucial importance to provide the required product characteristics. This paper demonstrates a new, reproducible method for preparing a tailored composite based on nickel nanoparticles on the reduced graphene oxide surface using supercritical isopropanol treatment.

Enhanced Antioxidant Activity and Reduced Cytotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles Stabilized by Different Humic Materials.

The current article describes the biological activity of new biomaterials combining the "green" properties of humic substances (HSs) and silver nanoparticles. The aim is to investigate the antioxidant activity (AOA) of HS matrices (macroligands) and AgNPs stabilized with humic macroligands (HS-AgNPs). The unique chemical feature of HSs makes them very promising ligands (matrices) for AgNP stabilization.

Green and Sustainable Ultrasound-Assisted Anodic Electrochemical Preparation of Graphene Oxide Dispersions and Their Antioxidant Properties.

A fast method for preparing aqueous graphene oxide (GO) dispersions by electrochemical oxidation of a graphite anode without preliminary intercalation with oxidizing agents is proposed. Ultrasonic probing was used in the modulation mode of ultrasonic waves (work/rest) for more efficient graphite oxidation-exfoliation. It is shown that the 4/2 s mode of ultrasonic modulation is the most effective due to the probe material's low corrosion while maintaining the optimum synthesis temperature not exceeding 30-35 °C and achieving the best characteristics of the resulting product.

We sought publications on the research topic in PubMed, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, Crossref and eLibrary databases from the moment they were created until December 31, 2021.

Humidity Effect on Low-Temperature NH Sensing Behavior of InO/rGO Composites under UV Activation.

The nature of the constituent components of composite materials can significantly affect the character of their interaction with the gas phase. In this work, nanocrystalline InO was synthesized by the chemical precipitation method and was modified using reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The obtained composites were characterized by several analysis techniques-XRD, TEM, SEM, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, XPS, TGA, and DRIFTS.

Characteristics of Composite Deprivation Indices Used in Public Health: A Scoping Review Protocol.

A deprivation index has become a more popular tool to rank levels of deprivation within different geographic areas. It is extensively used for monitoring health inequalities, evaluating health care services, developing and modifying health policies and programs, and allocating health resources equitably. Our objectives are (1) to explore the relevant literature to describe features of composite deprivation measures; (2) create a list and classification of original deprivation indices.

Classification of Deprivation Indices That Applied to Detect Health Inequality: A Scoping Review.

Introduction: Many studies around the world are undertaken to establish the association between deprivation and public health indicators. Both separate indicators (e.g.

Insufficient knowledge of the relationship between VE and CVD RF, quality of life, and lifestyle was the rationale for this study. (2) Methods: We examined 301 Muscovite men 41-44 years of age.

Binding of chloroaurate to polytyrosine-PEG micelles leads to an anti-Turkevich pattern of reduction.

Here we report formation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in micelles of polytyrosine-PEG copolymers that combine the properties of a reducer and a stabilizer. The size and properties of the GNPs were tailored by the excess chloroaurate over the copolymer. The latter quickly formed non-covalent complexes with HAuCl4 and then slowly reduced it to form GNPs.
