Coating of different lithotypes. Nanoparticles are increasingly exploited in many research fields, one which is the conservation of deteriorated stones.
3.8 Toxicology of Nanoparticles. Studies specifically dealing with the toxicity of nanoparticles have only appeared recently and, although now emerging in the literature, are still rare. Data concerning the behaviour and toxicity of particles mainly comes from studies on inhaled nanoparticles (reviewed by Oberdörster G 1996, Oberdörster G et al 2005, Donaldson and Stone 2003, Borm 2002 ...
The stone powder and the silica nanoparticles were weighed using a precision digital scale (EC-301 SL; GAMA), and distilled water was measured using a 10 mL glass pipette (Satelit) as recommended by the stones' manufacturers and according to the test groups for the silica nanoparticles. The stones were mechanically spatulated under a vacuum ...
Disclosed herein is a method of coating nanoparticles with a metal oxide. The method includes substituting surfaces of hydrophobic nanoparticles with an organic substance having a hydrophilic group effective to render the nanoparticles hydrophilic; and injecting the hydrophilic nanoparticles and a precursor of the metal oxide into an organic solvent including an amphiphilic surfactant to coat ...
Self-cleaning and de-polluting stone surfaces: TiO 2 nanoparticles for limestone
Selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol is a "two birds, one stone" technology to mitigate the greenhouse effect and solve the energy demand–supply deficit. Cu-based catalysts can effectively catalyze this reaction but suffer from low catalytic stability caused by the sintering of Cu species. Here, we report a series of zeolite-fixed catalysts Cu/ZnOx(Y)@Na-ZSM-5 (Y is the mass ratios ...
Modified novel dental plaster reinforced by 10 wt.% aluminum oxide nanoparticle fillers could be used alternatively to the conventional improved stone (type IV) to be utilized as final cast and die materials with the highest surface microhardness and compressive strength and lowest setting expansion than that of the improved stone.

Manmade nanoparticles range from the well-established multi-ton production of carbon black and fumed silica for applications in plastic fillers and car tyres to microgram quantities of fluorescent quantum dots used as markers in biological imaging. As nano-sciences are experiencing massive investment worldwide, there will be a further rise in consumer products relying on nanotechnology.
Nanoparticles, which have been observed in geological samples, have also been isolated from biological specimens, including kidney stones. These nanoparticles have certain properties that are consistent with a novel life form, including in vitro self-replication, and contain lipids, DNA and proteins.
The LPS plus nanoparticle groups received LPS (2.5 mg/kg) combined with nanoparticles (4 mg/kg) in vehicle. The surface areas of 14-nm nanoparticles and 56-nm nanoparticles are 300 m 2 /g and 45 m 2 /g, respectively (disclosed by Degussa). Nanoparticles were autoclaved at 250°C for 2 hr before use.

As researches have shown, nanoparticles have a major role in the case of polymer molecules adsorption on stones. In a classification, one can attribute this dependence to the following: (a) Polymer viscosity, (b) Nanoparticles' concentration, (c) Stone characteristics, (d) Reaction temperature, (e) Durability against stone and solution salinity.
Nanoparticles (NPs) of metal oxides, sometimes referred to as engineered nanoparticles have been used to protect building surfaces against biofilm formation for many years, but their history in the Cultural Heritage world is rather short. Their first reported use was in 2010. Thereafter, a wealth of reports can be found in the literature, with Ti, Ag and Zn oxides being the major protagonists.
Iron nanoparticles were produced using the extract of mortiño berry ( Vaccinium floribundum ) (vZVI) as reducing and stabilizer agent. Fresh nanoparticles were characterized using TEM, XRD, and FTIR techniques, while laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) from water and soil after treatment with synthesized nanoscale iron particles.

Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver of between 1 nm and 100 nm in size. While frequently described as being 'silver' some are composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Numerous shapes of nanoparticles can be constructed depending on the application at hand.
