The biological deterioration of construction materials is one of the most significant problems
in their practical application. Providing these products with antimicrobial properties is also a …

Abstract Sepiolite (Sep) and palygorskite (Pal) are naturally available one-dimensional (1D)
clay minerals. Their special pore structures, affluent surface groups, high specific surface …

In the present work, we studied the role of Fe and Pr addition on the structural, optical and
antibacterial properties of spherical ZnO nanoparticles synthesized via sol gel method. The …

The overuse or abuse of antibacterial drugs has led to serious health problems. At present,
among various antimicrobial materials (natural, organic, inorganic, etc.), inorganic …

Nanomaterial integration in building materials has become a pivotal approach to provide
cementitious composites with dual functionality, namely photocatalytic and antimicrobial …

Nanotechnology provides an innovative approach at the interjection of science and
technology especially in the concrete sector to solve the issues prevailing in the construction …

Coral-like structures of the Y 3–x Pr x Fe 5–y Yb y O 12,(0.00≤ x≤ 0.04, 0.00≤ y≤ 0.02)
compound were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Structural investigation certified the …

Flowers-like ZnO structures were synthesized using Arabic Gum (AGZnO) or Karaya Gum
(KGZnO). The AGZnO and KGZnO were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Fourier …

CuWO 4-Pal nanocomposite formed by copper (II) tungstate nanoparticles with palygorskite
clay mineral (Pal) was synthesized via coprecipitation method followed by microwave …

In this work, two-dimensional hexagonal boron carbonitride nanosheets co-functionalized
with polydopamine (PDA) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550)(abbreviated as Fh …
