Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicology of Nanomaterials on ZebrafishJimmy De León, María del C. Cotto, Francisco MárquezIncreases in the use and the progressive manufacture of new Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) lead to inquire about their impact on the environment. Due to the small size, high reactivity inside organisms and the unusual physicochemical properties of the ENMs, the predictions of toxicity are very complex. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been granted as a practical alternative to study the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 May 2019 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Dielectric Properties of Polyaniline/Silver/Carbon Nanotubes NanocompositeS. M. Reda, Sheikha M. Al-GhannamCurrent researches had shown that the electrical conductivity of most polymers depend on the method of its preparation and type of fillers. This research therefore aimed at studying the electrical properties of polyaniline carbon nanotubes nanocomposite prepared by hand mixing and decoration methods. The effect of preparation method on electrical properties of polyaniline containing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and silver nanoparticles … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2014 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
