Nanocomposites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared by in situ polymerization at low LDHs loadings in this work. The resultants were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). FTIR showed that the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites were prepared successfully by in situ polymerization and XRD spectra showed that the crystal structure did not change greatly in the presence of LDHS. DSC results confirmed that LDHs could act as nucleating agents. UV-vis spectra showed that LDHs had stronger absorbance peak than LDH. Moreover, the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites had strong anti-ultraviolet effect by introduction of LDHs into polymer matrix.

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites made using a chemical co-precipitation technique with various reducing agents (e.g., NaOH and NH4OH) and reduced graphene oxide at 0.5, 1, and 1.5 percent by weight. UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, a particle size analyzer, and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the composite materials. The formation of the NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposite with crystallite sizes in the range of 10–40 nm was inferred by X-ray diffraction patterns of materials, which suggested interlayers of Ni(OH)2 and Mg(OH)2. The interactions between the molecules were detected using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, while optical properties were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy. A uniform average particle size distribution in the range of 1–100 nm was confirmed by the particle size analyzer. Using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements in a 6 M KOH solution, the electrochemical execution of NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites was investigated. At a 1 A/g current density, the NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites prepared with NH4OH as a reducing agent had a higher specific capacitance of 1977 F/g. The electrochemical studies confirmed that combining rGO with NiMgOH increased conductivity.

In this work, we report preparation and characterization of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) doped tetraaniline via micelles assisted method using ammonium per sulphate (APS) as an oxidant. Here, DBSA act as dopant as well as template for tetraaniline nanostructures. The synthesized DBSA doped tetraaniline have been well characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetry. The morphologies of tetraaniline were found to be dependent on molar ratios of N-phenyl-1, 4-phenylenediamine to DBSA. The spectroscopic data indicated that DBSA doped tetraaniline. Thermogravimetry studies revealed that the DBSA doping improved the thermal stability of tetraaniline.

Abstract. The present work focuses on the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) on erbium trioxide nanoparticles (Er2O3 NPs). In this study, Er2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized and fully characterized via various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, UV–visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The results revealed that the photocatalytic activity of the prepared Er2O3 NPs was manifested in MO photodegradation. The optimum efficiency obtained was 16 %.

Lead in our body is toxic and hazardous. Here leadfree Cobalt ferrite and Barium Titanate inks have been prepared and fabricated. The prepared inks remained stable without agglomeration or condensation during preservation. Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks have been characterized using X-ray diffraction method and UV Visible Spectroscopy. By the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), the resultant inks were confirmed to be of pure Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate powders with cubic structure and tetragonal structure respectively. Lattice parameters and grain size have been determined by X-ray diffraction method. UV Visible Spectroscopy analysis has been done to obtain the band gap energy of the prepared inks. The preparation and characterization of Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks are comprehensively demonstrated in this paper.

Abstract A novel type of phthalocyanine polymer, 1,4-diazophenylene-bridged Cuphthalocyanine, was prepared from the diazonium salt of diaminobenzene and Cu(II) 1,8,15,22-tetraaminophthalocyanine. The polymer is partially soluble in tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and dimethylformamide. Characterization of the polymer was performed by IR and UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, ash analysis, viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The molecular weight of the soluble part of the polymer was determined by ebullioscopy. Electrical conductivity of the polymer and its doped samples were determined by the 4-probe technique. It was found that the electrical conductivity increased up to 10-4 S/cm after doping. The redox behaviour of the polymer was investigated utilizing cyclic voltammetry.

The synthesis of four rhodium(II) paddlewheel complexes bearing axial aromatic amines and coumarin ligands, with formula [Rh2(OAc)4(L)2] (L = NH2Mesityl (1), NH2Dip (2), NH2Couma (3), coumarin (4)), prompted by microwave irradiation, was carried out successfully. All of the complexes were characterized by the melting point, elemental analysis, NMR, IR, and UV/Visible spectroscopy. Additionally, the structure of complexes 1-2 and 4 was corroborated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry, ESI-MS, and tandem MS analyses were carried out in compound 1 for gaining further insight into its stability. Finally, a DFT study shows that complexes 1–4 are the thermodynamic products, having as intermediates complexes 1′–4′ which, under our experimental conditions, cannot be isolated.

This research was carried out based on the significance of protecting the environment by preventing the contamination of water caused from effluents discharge from dyeing industries, effective nanocomposite were prepared to solve this problem. The poly(azomethine), ZnO, and poly(azomethine)/ZnO nanocomposites were prepared and characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV)–visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), scanning electron Microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Methylene blue (MB), Malachite green (MG), and Bismarck brown (BB) were degraded from water using poly(azomethine) (PAZ), zinc oxide (ZnO), PAZ/ZnO (PNZ) nanocomposites as photocatalyst in the presence of natural sunlight. The degradation efficiency and reaction kinetics were calculated, and the outcome of the photocatalytic experiments proved that the PAZ/ZnO nanocomposites reveals excellent photocatalytic activity and effective for decolorization of dye containing waste water than PAZ and ZnO in the presence of natural sunlight. The maximum degradation efficiency 97%, 96%, and 95% was obtained for PNZ nanocomposites at optimum dosage of catalyst as 500 mg and 50 ppm of MB, MG, and BB dye concentration, respectively. The maximum degradation time was 5 h. After photocatalytic study, the samples were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and UV–visible spectroscopy.
