Zhizhong Li, Madjid Hadioui and Kevin J. Wilkinson Nanomaterials 2023, 13, 2049 https://doi.org/10.3390/nano13142049 Abstract The increased use of silica and silicon-containing nanoparticles (Si-NP) in agricultural applications has stimulated interest in determining their potential migration in the environment and their uptake by living organisms. Understanding the fate and behavior of Si-NPs will require their accurate analysis […] Lire la suite
