| Abstract | In the semiconductor industry, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries are used in large quantities for the planarization of wafers and the release of CMP nanoparticles (NPs) into the natural environment may pose a threat to human health. In this study, the aggregation behavior of four model CMP NPs, namely, colloidal SiO2, fumed SiO2, CeO2, and Al2O3 NPs, was investigated through dynamic light scattering in the presence and absence of phosphate at pH 7.4. The colloidal and fumed SiO2 NPs were observed to have remarkable stability under neutral pH conditions both in the presence and absence of phosphate. Phosphate adsorption enhanced the negative surface charge of CeO2 NPs and reversed the charge of Al2O3 NPs, resulting in an increase in the stability of both NPs. In order to evaluate the propensity for the CMP NPs to attach to and disrupt cell membranes, the interactions of these NPs with supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) and lipid vesicles composed of zwitterionic 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) were examined using a quartz crystal microbalance. The attachment efficiencies of both SiO2 NPs on SLBs increased to 1 when the NaCl concentration was raised to 100 mM in the presence of phosphate. In contrast, favorable attachment of CeO2 and Al2O3 NPs to SLBs was not achieved in the presence of phosphate even at elevated NaCl concentrations, likely due to the enhancement of nanoparticle surface charge resulting from phosphate adsorption. When the supported vesicles were exposed to the SiO2 NPs, no disruption of vesicles was detected despite favorable conditions for nanoparticle–membrane association. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
