Assessment of the cytotoxicity of silver-graphene oxide nanocomposites on Escherichia coli and glioblastoma cancer cells
In this research, we examined the toxicity of Ag-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites against both the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and Glioblastoma cancer cells (U87MG). Our findings reveal that Ag-GO ...

Transparent and robust omniphobic surface using colloidal polymer layers
Herein, the transparent omniphobic coating on glass slides was fabricated by using three different colloidal dispersions as sacrificial templates for a silica sol to make nano-scale surface roughness. These su...

Influence of preparation methods of microwave, sol–gel, and hydrothermal on structural and optical properties of lanthania nanoparticles
In this work, the nearly pure hexagonal phase of lanthania nanoparticles (NPs) was successfully synthesized using three methods: microwave, sol–gel, and hydrothermal. The samples were characterized using nine ...

Rheological properties of the nanofluids of tungsten oxide nanoparticles in ethylene glycol and glycerol
In this study, nanofluids of tungsten oxide (WO3) nanoparticles (0.5–4 % mass fractions) in ethylene glycol (EG) and glycerol (G) as base fluids were prepared and their rheological properties were measured as fun...

Electrical conductivity of water-based palladium nanofluids
Although the thermal conductivities and viscosities of nanofluids have been widely measured, relatively few studies concerning their electrical conductivity have been reported. Stable nanofluids consisting of ...
