Simultaneous enhancement of natural sunlightand artificial UV-driven photocatalytic activity of a mechanically activated ZnO/SnO2 composite
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2017)
Mechanical milling of commercial ZnO and SnO2 was used to produce a ZnO/SnO2 composite with a high density of surface defects; in particular, zinc interstitials (Zni) and oxygen vacancies (VO). To determine the impact of ...
Hydroxylated fullerene-capped, vinblastine-loaded folic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles for targeted anticancer therapy
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
A novel cancer-targeting drug delivery system is constructed and characterized, based on folic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles with pore-loaded anticancer drug vinblastine and pore-blocking fullerenol ...
Ni(II) complex with bishydrazone ligand: synthesis, characterization, DNA binding studies and pro-apoptotic and pro-differentiation induction in human cancerous cell lines
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
A new Ni(II) complex, [Ni(L)(H2O)] (1), with diethyl 3,3'-(2,2'-(1,1'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl) bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene)) bis(hydrazin-1-yl-2-ylidene)) bis(3-oxopropanoate) ligand (H2L) was synthesized as a potential chemotherapeutic ...
Azo-containing asymmetric bent-core liquid crystals with modulated smectic phases
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
A new series of azo-containing bent-core liquid crystals derived from 3-hydroxybenzoic acid has been synthesized. Their mesomorphic properties have been characterized by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning ...
Quinoline based mono- and bis-(thio) carbohydrazones: synthesis, anticancer activity in 2D and 3D cancer and cancer stem cell models
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
A comparative study of antitumor activity of mono- and bis-quinoline based (thio) carbohydrazones was investigated by a series of tests on two human malignant cell lines: acute monocytic leukemia (THP-1) and pancreatic ...
A GMDH-type neural network with multi-filter feature selection for the prediction of transition temperatures of bent-core liquid crystals
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
A novel strategy for the prediction of the transition temperature of bent-core liquid crystals (LCs) based on the combination of multi filter feature selection and group method of data handling (GMDH) type neural networks ...
High performance alkyd resins synthesized from postconsumer PET bottles
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2015)
The glycolytic recycling of waste PET presents a challenge for the production of secondary value-added products, such as alkyd resins. A way to overcome the unsatisfactory mechanical, drying and chemical resistance properties ...
Determination of anisomycin in tissues and serum by LC-MS/MS: application to pharmacokinetic and distribution studies in rats
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
A selective, sensitive and fast method for extraction, identification and quantification of multifunctional drug anisomycin in various tissues and serum, based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, was developed, ...
One-step synthesis of amino-functionalized up-converting NaYF4:Yb,Er nanoparticles for in vitro cell imaging
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
The emerging up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) offer a wide range of biotechnology applications, from biomarkers and deep tissue imaging, to single molecule tracking and drug delivery. Their successful conjugation to ...
Surfactant-assisted microwave processing of ZnO particles: a simple way for designing the surface-to-bulk defect ratio and improving photo(electro)catalytic properties
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2019)
ZnO nanopowders were produced using microwave processing of a precipitate and applied as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Two different surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the cationic ...
