Radioprotective materials with tungsten nanopowder additives

Electrochemical reduction of tungsten (VI) oxide from a eutectic melt CaCl2-NaCl under potentiostatic conditions

“…2. Volt-ampere characteristics of a platinum electrode in the eutectic melt CaCl2 -NaCl without tungsten oxide (1) and in its presence: 4.7 × 10 -4 mol/cm -3 (2), 9.3 × 10 -4 mol cm -3 (3). The potential scan rate is 0.05 V s -1 , the temperature is 1013 K…”

“…3, d). Tungsten, which does not contain impurity phases, is also formed when electrolysis is carried out at potentials exceeding the standard electrode potential of reaction (1). In this case, metallothermic reduction reactions of tungsten oxide is possible at the cathode:…”

“…Tungsten has unique physical and chemical properties, that is why alloys and composites based on it are widely used in various fields of modern science and technology such as metallurgy, mechanical and instrument engineering, electrical engineering, structural materials, etc. [1][2][3][4][5] Analysis of the scientific and technical literature shows that the demand for tungsten and products made from it is growing, and that the prices for tungsten products are rising accordingly. 6,7 The known methods of producing tungsten by reducing its oxide compounds with hydrogen are characterized by high specific energy consumption and require a complex technological equipment.…”

Radioprotective effect of a novel and green bio‐nanohybrid, chitosan/silver/cobalt complex, based on Ferulago angulate plant

“…They also serve as enhancers for radiotherapy and radiosensitizers. 10,11 Based on previous studies, there are very limited reports concerned with nanocomposite as potential radioprotective agents. Second, the high toxicity of some compounds in this field necessitated synthesis for appropriate agents from natural sources, being less toxic and highly effective at optimized protective doses.…”

“…Silver nanoparticles and chitosan have the potential for anticancer therapeutic strategy due to their antimicrobial activity and intrinsic therapeutic properties. They also serve as enhancers for radiotherapy and radiosensitizers 10,11 . Based on previous studies, there are very limited reports concerned with nanocomposite as potential radioprotective agents.…”
