Study compares calcium phosphate mineralization on polydopamine and zein coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles using quartz crystal microbalance measurements.

Bioorganic coatings are being increasingly used to promote mineralization on inorganic nanoparticles for bone repair, sensing, and environmental technologies. Researchers at Jeonbuk National ...

Experts are raising concerns about titanium dioxide, a commonly used pigment that makes our food prettier. And while the Food and Drug Administration says it's safe, the European Union and ...

Polydopamine-coated nanoparticles accumulated about 37% more mineral mass than zein-coated ones, indicating faster nucleation and sustained crystal growth. The findings show how the surface chemistry ...

Titanium dioxide is commonly found in countless everyday products including food, cosmetics, drugs, paper and toothpaste. Sunscreen can safely contain up to 25% titanium dioxide. Some research, mostly ...

While the European Commission recently banned the use of titanium dioxide (TiO2) in foods in the EU, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has just warned consumers to avoid it, the ...

An international research team led by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has built a perovskite solar cell with an electron transport layer (ETL) based on single-crystalline titanium ...
