Biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using culture filtrates of Aspergillus niger: Antimicrobial textiles and dye degradation studies

V.N. Kalpana, Bala Anoop Sirish Kataru, N. Sravani et al. · 1 Jan 2018

The main goal of undertaking the current investigation was to evaluate the extracellular synthesis of ZnO NPs using culture filtrates of Aspergillus niger. The obtained UV–Visible spectrum of the culture filtrate showed an absorption peak at 320 nm. The FTIR band showed the appearance of carboxylic acid and strong aromatic ring that could be responsible…

Scale-up polymeric-based nanoparticles drug delivery systems: Development and challenges

Yedi Herdiana, Nasrul Wathoni, Shaharum Shamsuddin et al. · 28 May 2022

The development of nanotechnology as a crucial technology in recent years has resulted in new and creative nanomedicine applications. The characteristics of nanomedicine are determined by size, surface, drug loading, targeting potential and combination with diagnostic agents for therapeutic applications to form nano multifunctional devices. Nanomedicine provides a new healthcare paradigm and is capable of…

Recent trends and methodologies in gold nanoparticle synthesis – A prospective review on drug delivery aspect

Manimegalai Sengani, Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu, V. Devi Rajeswari · 1 Jan 2017

The prominent challenges in manufacturing carrier systems for chemical, biological and medical applications are to produce stable, nontoxic and uniform dimension particles by using various macromolecules. In this respect, the emerging field of nanotechnology enables various approaches towards optimizing synthesis protocols and methodologies. Depending on the application of the particles, various methodologies for nanoparticle synthesis…

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles from white rot fungi: Their characterization and antibacterial studies

Gudikandula Krishna, Vadapally Pranitha, M. A. Singara Charya · 1 Jan 2017

The advanced research and development of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is vast due to their incredible applications today. In this work, research was focused on the production, characterization and antibacterial studies of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). We used an environmentally friendly extracellular biosynthetic method for the production of the AgNPs. The reducing agents used to produce the…

Synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles using tuber extract of anchote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.) Cong.) for antimicrobial and antioxidant activity assessment

Tura Safawo, B. V. Sandeep, Sudhakar Pola et al. · 1 Jan 2018

Coccinia abyssinica (C. abyssinica) tuber extract assisted biosynthesized Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO Nps) were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Blue shift of absorptional peak to 365 nm indicated formation of ZnO Nps. X-ray diffraction showed well defined…

OpenNano template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the OpenNano format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the OpenNano template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does OpenNano use?
OpenNano uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, OpenNano 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to OpenNano?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready OpenNano document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the OpenNano template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the OpenNano format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes OpenNano?
OpenNano is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's OpenNano template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready OpenNano PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official OpenNano template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the OpenNano template cost?
You can start writing in the OpenNano template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready OpenNano PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
