TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Franz diffusion cell method with intact and damaged human skin to evaluate in vitro skin penetration of silver nanoparticles, and they demonstrated that silver applied as nanoparticles coated with polyvinylpirrolidone is able to permeate the damaged skin in an in vitro diffusion cell system.

TL;DR: The article reviews the literature on the percutaneous absorption of nanoparticles and their effect on skin and concludes there is a need for assessing the health and environmental impacts, the nanoparticles life cycle, the human exposure routes, the behavior of nanoparticle in the body, and the risk for workers.

TL;DR: A decision tree is suggested to evaluate the potential risk for consumers and workers exposed to NPs to suggest that one main difference should be made between metal and non-metal NPs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a water-in-oil micro-emulsion method was used for the formation of Cu nanoparticles in the microemulsion followed by controlled hydrolysis and condensation of tetraisopropyl orthotitanate with the aim of covering the protected metal particles with a surrounding layer of porous titanium oxyhydroxide.

TL;DR: In this article, Tungstate of divalent transition metals was synthesized by reaction of transition metal nitrates with sodium tungstate and precipitates were then calcined at 500°C.
