X-ray diffraction studies and phase volume determinations in poly(ethylene glycol)-montmorillonite nanocomposites

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-grafted-graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by a coupling reaction and formed inclusion complexes (ICs) after selective threading of the mPEG segments of the GO-mPEG through the cavities of α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs) units. The polypseudorotaxane structures of the as-obtained hydrogels were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, TGA, DSC, and SEM. The complexation of the mPEG segments with α-CDs and the hydrogen-bond interaction between CDs resulted in the formation of supramolecular hybrid hydrogels with a strong network. The resultant hybrid hydrogels were found to be thermo-responsive, and could be applied as a promising drug delivery system.

The crystallization behaviour of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) samples prepared in large-molecule solvents, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that those samples recovered from large-molecule solvents exhibit higher crystallinity, non-isothermal crystallization temperature and faster crystallization rate than the ones crystallized in a small-molecule solvent. The crystallinity of samples from PLLA/PEG gel is about 73% measured by the DSC. The molar size of the solvent has a large influence on the formation of helical conformations and, thereby on the crystallization rate of PLLA in solution.

Pure CuO nanoparticles and chemically-precipitated Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) used as a capping agent CuO nanocrystal continuum (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 gm) was anatomized for structural and morphological research using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Field - Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM). Their X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis manifested monoclinic crystallinity in pure and PEG-capped CuO nanorods, with an average crystallite size of 21.63nm and 13-16nm respectively. The morphological analysis revealed their structural conformation. The FT-IR spectrum affirmed the presence of Cu-O bonds. The optical property of the aforesaid nanorods was studied by UV-Visible reflectance (UV-Vis DRS). The UV analysis showed that all the capped products show signs of good optical quality in the UV region and also the absorption edge was blue shifted with a band gap of 1.85 eV for 0.4gm PEG capped as results of quantum confinement effect. The antibacterial properties of the as-prepared nanostructures investigated for various human pathogens using disc diffusion method. The result showed the significant antibacterial activity bothgram positiveandgram negativebacteria.

AbstractIn this study we report on the preparation and characterization of biocomposites based on a sodium montmorillonite-ibuprofen (MtIb) hybrid and neat poly(ethylene glycol), neat sodium carboxymethylcellulose or poly(ethylene glycol)-carboxymethylcellulose blend 50/50 biocomposites as drug carriers. Ib, a poorly soluble drug, was first intercalated into sodium Mt and then the resulting hybrid was compounded with the different polymeric matrices. Ib incorporation efficiency in Mt was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. Both X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetric studies revealed that the intercalation of Ib between the clay layers induced amorphization of the drug. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the development of strong interactions between Ib and the polymer matrix. A study of the release of Ib from the synthesized biocomposites in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) was investigated. To better understand the release mechanism of drug molecules from the different carriers, several kinetic models have been applied.

Boron Carbon

The colorful BCNO phosphors comprised of boron, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms have been novelty synthesized by varying the environmental oxygen pressure without changing the compositions of the raw materials such as boric, urea, and poly-ethylene glycol. X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR), and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were employed to characterize the effect of environmental oxygen pressure on the structure and PL properties of the synthesized phosphors. The results of their PL properties indicates that the emission color of these BCNO phosphors has been easily tailored for a large-range from violet to near-red regions through variations of the environmental oxygen pressure as prepared under the excitation of 365 nm. This provides a new approach to tailor the emitting colors.
