Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, physicochemical and neurological study profile.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Clinically approved iron chelators are effective in decreasing significant transfusional iron accumulation. Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO), a novel high molecular weight iron chelator, was produced to increase binding capacity ... -
Heterogeneous growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures and the effects of their morphology on optical and photocatalytic properties
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2017 , Article)Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflowers have huge potential for various applications. However, the growth mechanism of ZnO nanoflowers is still under debate despite various growth mechanisms having been proposed. The aim of this study ... -
Modified zno nanoparticles using iron ions (Fe3+) for photo-catalytic degradation of toxic pollutants under sunlight
( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2019 , Book chapter)The optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified using various dopant concentrations of iron (Fe3+) via a sol-gel method. To investigate of ZnO nanoparticles, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy ... -
