Proteinoid nanoparticles composed of l-lysine and l-phenylalanine were prepared and showed enantioselective adsorption of l-amino acids at various pH values, emphasizing the chiral nature of the particles. The adsorption was examined using circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry and ζ-potential measurements.…
Anthocyanins as one of the main natural groups of food colorants undergo quick color fading, which can be diminished through protein association. The stabilization of cyanidin-3-glucoside (CYG) through binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated at pH 3.0 using…
Nanoparticles play an important role in controlling the mobility of pollutants such as arsenic (As) in the environment. In natural waters, aggregates of nanoparticles can be constituted of organic matter (OM) associated with iron (Fe). However, little is known about…
Carbon nanoparticles are very useful in solar thermal applications as they absorb much of the solar spectrum, are cheap and have excellent optical properties. Carbon nanoparticles-thermal oil-based nanofluid was prepared by a two-step method with diphenyl sulfone as the surfactant…
We present here a perspective detailing the current state-of-the-art technologies for the characterisation of nanoparticles (NPs) in liquid suspension. We detail the technologies involved and assess their applications in the determination of NP size and concentration. (233 characters)
