A new large – Scale synthesis of magnesium oxide nanowires: Structural and antibacterial properties

Abstract

Highlights► Low temperature microwave hydrothermal method is developed to synthesize MgO nanowires. ► The antibacterial properties of MgO nanowires have been examined. ► This novel method serve a direct route for mass production of MgO nanowires and antibacterial agents.

Novel Nanofluid Based on Water-Loaded Delafossite CuAlO2 Nanowires: Structural and Thermal Properties

“…It was observed that the values of calculated cell parameters ( and ) were slightly greater than that of bulk CuAlO 2 ( = 0.2856 nm and = 1.6943 nm). This phenomenon could occur due to the influence of lattice expansion caused by the increase in oxygen vacancy and Al 3 ions with reduced particle size and increased surface relaxation during the grain growth process [4,12]. Figure 2 displays EDS spectra of CuAlO 2 nanowires.…”

“…Generally, nanofluids possess some remarkable properties, such as less clogging problem, reduced heat transfer system size, higher thermal conductivity, better stability, and lower pressure [10,11]. In recent years, different scientific endeavors have been carried out in the quest of new nanofluid composites with improved parameters [12]. Nanofluids can be synthesized by either one-or two-step methods.…”

Ti-GO-Ag nanocomposite: the effect of content level on the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity

“…21 It has been reported that GO-silver (Ag) shows excellent antibacterial properties against many bacterial species. 22,23 Metal nanoparticles have generated wide interest and focus, and are used in diverse field of research, most importantly, in biological and medical areas, 24 such as titanium dioxide, 25 zinc oxide, 26 magnesium, 27 gold, 28 copper 29 and Ag. 30 Ag, a nonspecific biocidal agent, is of particular interest due to its significant antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of fungus, viruses and bacteria, even antibioticresistant strains.…”

PVA/NaCl/MgO nanocomposites-microstructural analysis by whole pattern fitting method

“…MgO nanoparticles are of specific interest as they exhibit excellent biocompatibility. MgO nanoparticles are used in various applications like photo catalysis, as bactericidal, for waste remediation and drug delivery [5][6][7]. In materials science and technology, the structure -property relationship dictates the functional attributes of the materials which also depend upon the synthesis routes for these materials.…”
