Synthesis and characterization of a fatty acid self-assembled monolayer on CeO2 nanoparticles: to explore solution-state property of a SAM
Decanoic acid self-assembled monolayer (SAM) in the quasi-crystalline state was prepared on the surface of the cubic ceria nanoparticles (6.5 ± 1.1 nm) by hydrothermal synthesis. The purification method to obtain quasi-crystalline SAM without residual (free) decanoic acid was developed. The SAM was carefully washed (purified) and characterized carefully by FT-IR, TG, DSC, and NMR. [...]
Nanocrystalline ceria: Synthesis, structure-sensitive properties, and promising applications
Directed search for further manifestations of size-dependent effects in the functional properties of nanomaterials constitutes a key line of nanotechnologies research. The major size-dependent effects were analyzed for nanocrystalline ceria. The practically significant techniques for preparation of ceria nanopowders with controllable micromorphology were analyzed. Selected promising applications of this material were described.

Nanoceria as Antioxidant: Synthesis and Biomedical Applications
The therapeutic application of nanomaterials has been a focus of numerous studies in the past decade. Due to its unique redox properties, cerium oxide (ceria) is finding widespread use in the treatment of medical disorders caused by the reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI). The radical-scavenging role of ceria nanoparticles (nanoceria) have been established, as well as [...]
Protection from radiation-induced pneumonitis using cerium oxide nanoparticles
In an effort to combat the harmful effects of radiation exposure, we propose that rare-earth cerium oxide nanoparticles (free-radical scavengers) protect normal tissue from radiation-induced damage. Preliminary studies suggest that these nanoparticles may be a therapeutic regenerative nanomedicine that will scavenge reactive oxygen species, which are responsible for radiation induced cell damage. The effectiveness of [...]
