Effect of thermal annealing on a bilayer polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid electrospun hydrogel nanofibres loaded with doxorubicin and clarithromycin for a synergism effect against osteosarcoma cells
(Elsevier, 2021-08-02)
Polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA) bilayer hydrogel nanofibres were successfully fabricated by
electrospinning and physically crosslinked via heat treatment. The effects of the thermal annealing
process on the ...
Mechanism of formation, characterization and cytotoxicity of green synthesized zinc nanoparticles obtained from Ilex paraguariensis leaves extract
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was produced using Ilex paraguariensis (mate) leaves extract using a green synthesis process. The influence of ethanolic and aqueous plant extract and zinc source on the green synthesis ...
