NICKEL OXIDE NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIS BY CHEMICAL REDUCTION TECHNIQUE AND IT’S APPLICATION AS ANTIMICROBIAL AND DYE DEGRADING AGENT
Nanoparticles are fascinating materials that find many applications in basic and applied research. The chemical reduction technique is one of the easiest methods for synthesizing Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles (NiO NPs) in low-temperature ranges. Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2.6H2O), Ascorbic acid, NaOH, and NaBH4 were applied as starting reagents to synthesize NiO NPs. Noble metal oxide nanopar...

MICROSPONGES DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Microsponges are novel drug delivery systems made up of cross-linked spongy, polymeric, porous, spherical microspheres particles which vary in size from 5-300 μm. This delivery system as the advantage of producing controlled release formulations of poorly soluble drugs. It increases drug stability, reduces side effects and modifies drug release profiles making it a versatile drug delivery vehicle...
