Biocompatible and cell traceable Graphene Quantum Dots (GQD) are used for targeted drug delivery of DNA intercalating drug Doxorubicin (DOX). Graphene Quantum Dots are highly dispersible and water soluble. Synthesized by acid oxidation and exfoliation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). GQD loaded with DOX were covalently linked to tumor targeting module Biotin (BTN). … [Read more...]
Waste Water Treatment by Naturally Prepared Nanoparticles
Wastewater is a by-product of domestic, industrial, commercial or agricultural activities. Eutrophication is a result of the discharge of nitrate or phosphate-containing detergents, fertilizers, or sewage into an aquatic system. when a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients that induce excessive growth of plants and algae may result in oxygen … [Read more...]
Nanobionics and Bioinspired Nanotechnology
Bionics is the study and design of engineering system including electronic ones and these systems are based on the biological system. Bionics is also termed as biomimicry and it is similar to biologically inspired design. The word bionic was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958. Nanobionics is the nanoscale electronic interactions in biological systems. Bioinspired nanotechnology … [Read more...]
