Article Abstract
The aggregation kinetics and colloidal stability of CeO-NPs in the presence of monovalent or divalent electrolytes, as well as inorganic (kaolin and goethite) and organic (humic acid, HA) colloids were evaluated using time-resolved dynamic light scattering, advanced spectroscopic tools, and theoretical calculations. Critical coagulation concentrations for CeO-NPs were generally lower in CaCl than that in NaCl electrolyte. The negatively charged kaolin accelerated CeO-NPs aggregation due to electrostatic attraction, whilst opposite phenomenon was observed for the positively charged goethite in NaCl solution. In CaCl solution, goethite destabilized CeO-NPs because of its well-crystal structure and specific adsorption of Ca. The presence of 0.1 mg C/L HA decreased the surface charge of CeO-NPs, resulting in lower critical coagulation concentrations. Increasing the HA concentration from 0.1 to 1 mg C/L improved CeO-NPs stability, mainly via electrostatic and steric repulsion. The Ca-bridging and complexation contributed significantly to CeO-NPs aggregation. Additional aggregation experiments in seven natural waters revealed that CeO-NPs remained stable in water types with high contents of organic colloids and low levels of salts, thus having higher transport potential. These findings provided new insights into the interactive influence of naturally occurring colloids and ions on the heteroaggregation behavior and fate of CeO-NPs.

In the ongoing search for practical uses of rare-earth metal nanoparticles, cerium dioxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have received special attention. The purpose of this research was to study the biomedical effects of nanocrystalline forms of cerium oxide obtained by different synthesis schemes and to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of nanoceria (from 10 to 10 M) on cells involved in the regeneration of skin cell structures such as fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and keratinocytes. Two different methods of nanoceria preparation were investigated: (1) CeO-NPs-1 by precipitation from aqueous solutions of cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate and citric acid and (2) CeO-NPs-2 by hydrolysis of ammonium hexanitratocerate (IV) under conditions of thermal autoclaving.

Abstract: The effects of a new edible sodium alginate (SA) coating incorporating cinnamon essential oil nanocapsules (CEO-NPs) and nisin were investigated with beef slices in refrigerated storage for 15 days. All beef samples were analyzed for physicochemical properties (pH, weight loss, and total volatile base nitrogen) and antimicrobial activity against total bacteria. Changes in color parameters and sensory attributes of all beef samples also were evaluated.

Background: In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves new medicines that general practitioners (GPs) may prescribe. Medicines listed under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) have undergone a rigorous independent evaluation in relation to comparative efficacy, safety and effectiveness against medicines already on the market. However, GPs need to appraise the medicines they prescribe for individual patients, taking a number of factors into consideration.

Antioxidant activity (AOA) assays using nanotechnology are recently developed utilizing nanoparticles of transition metal oxides, especially nanoceria that can switch between trivalent and tetravalent oxidation states of cerium. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO-NPs) may act as both an oxidant and an antioxidant, depending on the preparation method and particle size. A novel colorimetric sensor for AOA assay is proposed with the use of poly(acrylic acid) sodium salt (PAANa)-coated CeO-NPs.
