Eco-friendly, Facile and Rapid Way for Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles Production, structural and morphological characterisation

Abstract

A green chemistry approach to synthesize biocompatible selenium nanoparticles is proposed in this work, using hydrogen selenite (NaHSeO3) as selenium precursor and lactose as reducing agent. The formation of nanoparticles was confirmed by dynamic light Scattering, revealing a gaussian size distribution, the maximum percentage being in the range of 20-40 nm. Zeta potential measurement indicates a negative charge -38.2 mV, the stability of selenium colloidal sol being also confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy. TEM and AFM revealed the homogeneous, spherical shape, confirming the size of nanoparticles in the range of 20-40 nm. Structural investigations of powder selenium nanoparticles by FTIR spectroscopy and XRD patterns emphasise the presence of stretching and bending vibrations of Se-O bonds, respectively the amorphous structure of the synthesized selenium. The proposed method is suitable for biological applications such drug release, functional food or nutritional supplements.

10-Year Journey Through Brain Gliomas: Case Report

“…(14) Research in the field of medication delivered through nanoparticles should be followed, which can have important results in the future treatment of this pathology. (15) CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment is far from having curative claims in brain gliomas, even in the case of very early discoveries. Through surgery we aim to obtain a tumour biopsy for histopathological analysis, cytoreduction of tumour mass with reduction of symptoms caused by the presence of tumour.…”

“…The relevance of the new materials is important not just for dental medicine [4][5][6][7], but also for other clinical specializations like orthopedics [8][9][10][11], neurosurgery [12][13][14], abdominal surgery [15][16][17], gynecology [18,19], cardiovascular [20][21][22] and ophthalmology [23].…”

Influence of the Bone Cements Processing on the Mechanical Properties in Cranioplasty

“…In clinical practice, many surgical interventions need the support given by the synthetic biomaterials. Also, the various aspects related to the interface between synthetic biomaterials and human tissue appear to be interesting not just for neurosurgery [1,2], but also for many clinical specializations like orthopedics [3][4][5][6][7], dentistry [8][9][10], abdominal surgery [11][12][13][14], gynecology [15][16][17][18], cardiovascular surger y [19,20], and ophthalmology [21].…”
