The current investigation was conducted to create silver oxide NPs decorated by MgO NPs (namely, MgO@AgO/AgO nanocom-posite) using the leaves extract of Purslane () as the reducing and capping agent. The nanopowder was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron mi-croscope, BET surface area, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-vis spectrophotom-eter studies.

The synthesis of a nickel oxide-tin oxide nanocomposite (NiO-SnO NC) via a facile and economically viable approach using a leaf extract from for the photocatalytic degradation of MO. The phase composition, crystallinity, and purity were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFResin composites have been widely used in dental restoration. However, polymerization shrinkage and resultant bacterial microleakage are major limitations that may lead to secondary caries. To overcome this, a new type of antibacterial resin composite containing ciprofloxacin-loaded silver nanoparticles (CIP-AgNPs) were synthesized.

Using doped z nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance the antibacterial properties of resin composites can be an effective approach to prevent this. The present study focused on the effectiveness of Selenium-doped ZnO (Se/ZnO) NPs as an antibacterial nanofiller in resin composites and their impact on their mechanical properties.
