Colorimetric Detection of Mercury Ions in Water with Capped Silver Nanoprisms
Tanvir, Fouzia; Yaqub, Atif; Tanvir, Shazia; An, Ran; Anderson, William A. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-05-10)The emission of mercury (II) from coal combustion and other industrial processes may have impacts on water resources, and the detection with sensitive but rapid testing methods is desirable for environmental screening. ... -
Poly-L-arginine Coated Silver Nanoprisms and Their Anti-Bacterial Properties
Tanvir, Fouzia; Yaqub, Atif; Tanvir, Shazia; Anderson, William A. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017-09-27)The aim of this study was to test the effect of two different morphologies of silver nanoparticles, spheres, and prisms, on their antibacterial properties when coated with poly-L-arginine (poly-Arg) to enhance the interactions ... -
Solar light active silver/iron oxide/zinc oxide heterostructure for photodegradation of ciprofloxacin, transformation products and antibacterial activity
Kaur, Amandeep; Anderson, William A.; Tanvir, Shazia; Kumar Kansal, Sushil (Elsevier, 2019-12-01)This paper reports on the multitasking potential of a silver/iron oxide/zinc oxide (Ag/Fe2O3/ZnO) heterostructure, which was used for the photocatalytic decomposition of ciprofloxacin (CPX) and bacterial disinfection. The ... -
Toxicity associated with the photo catalytic and photo stable forms of titanium dioxide nanoparticles used in sunscreen
Pulvin, Sylviane; Tanvir, Shazia; Anderson, William A. (MedCrave, 2015-12-06)The increasing number of applications using titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) highlights the need to continuously and systematically investigate its toxicity. Particle size, surface area and dose are the classical ...
