	abstract = {<p>Influence of the deposition duration and electrolyte concentration on the structural and morphological features of the ZnO thin films, grown by cathodic electrodeposition on zinc substrate followed by annealing in air at 400 degrees C, have been investigated. The surface morphology of the as-synthesized films shows two distinct features, presence of {\textquoteleft}2-dimensional nanosheets{\textquoteright} on the area near the electrolyte-air interface and {\textquoteleft}granular{\textquoteright} nanostructures, below the interface region. However, upon annealing, the formation of ZnO nanowires, possessing length of several microns and diameter less than 20 nm, on the entire substrate is observed. The X-ray and selected area electron diffraction patterns clearly confirm the polycrystalline nature of the ZnO nanowires. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>CuO nanoparticles were synthesized at a relatively low temperature (80 degrees C) for 2 h using polyethylene glycol-glycerol mixture which acts as a capping agent. A detailed characterization of the synthesized nanomaterials were performed utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), infra-red spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA-DTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) by studying its crystalline phase, vibrational mode, thermal analysis, morphology and photoluminescence properties. The effect of annealing on the as-prepared nanoparticles were studied and compared with their corresponding bulk counterpart. The synthesized nanoparticles have been screened for in vitro cytotoxicity (IC50) studies against the human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa) using MTT assay methods. The as-prepared nanoparticle inhibits the proliferation of this HeLa cell. The standard disc diffusion method has been used to study the antibacterial activity of the samples against the human pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli (MTCC 729), Proteus mirabilis (MTCC 425) and Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae (MTCC 432). The results have been compared with the positive control antibiotic gentamycin. The synthesized nanoparticles would provide a potential alternative to antibiotics for controlling some of the microorganisms causing urolithiasis. (C) 2014 Meitram Niraj Luwang.
