Synthesis of YSAG:Yb ceramic powders with different stoichiometry by chemical precipitation method was carried out. It has been established that scandium can replace both dodecahedral and octahedral positions of garnet. It is shown that scandium is embedded in those positions that become available to it when the YAG:Yb composition deviates from stoichiometric. Thus, scandium can compensate for the lack of one of the components of the oxide composition Y2O3, Yb2O3, and Al2O3 during the formation of the garnet phase.

Core/shell type nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20nm were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Firstly, Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solvethermal method. FeSO4ž7H2O and NaBH4 were respectively dissolved in distilled water, then moderated Fe3O4 particles and surfactant(PVP) were ultrasonic dispersed into the FeSO4ž7H2O solution. The resulting solution was stirred 2 h at room temperature. Fe could be deposited on the surface of monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles to form core-shell particles. The particles were characterized by using various experimental techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AGM and DTA. The results suggest that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposites is 100 emu/g. The composition of the samples show monodisperse and the sides of the core/shell nanoparticles are 20-30nm. It is noted that the formation of Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites magnetite nanoparticles possess superparamagnetic property.

Europium-doped hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (3% mol) powders were synthesized by an optimized chemical precipitation method at 25 °C, followed by drying at 120 °C and calcination at 450 °C and 900 °C. The obtained nanosized crystallite samples were investigated by means of a combination of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The Rietveld refinement in the hexagonal P63/m space group showed europium ordered at the Ca2 site at high temperature (900 °C), and at the Ca1 site for lower temperatures (120 °C and 450 °C). FTIR and Raman spectra showed slight band shifts and minor modifications of the (PO4) bands with increasing annealing temperature. PL spectra and decay curves revealed significant luminescence emission for the phase obtained at 900 °C and highlighted the migration of Eu from the Ca1 to Ca2 site as a result of increasing calcinating temperature.

Nanocrystals of ZnS have been synthesized through simple chemical precipitation method using thiourea as sulphur source. The synthesized products were annealed at different temperatures in the range of 200–800∘C. The as-synthesized and annealed samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible absorption (UV-Vis), and room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The morphological features of ZnS annealed at 200 and 500∘C were studied by atomic force microscope (AFM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. The phase transformation of ZnS and formation of ZnO were confirmed by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves.

The amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)/tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO5, C3S) composite powders were synthesized in this paper. The exothermal behavior of C3S determined by isothermal conduction calorimetry indicated that the ACP could be synthesis by chemical precipitation method during the induction period (stage II) of C3S. The composite powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicated that nanosized ACP particles deposited on the surface of C3S particles to form core-shell structure at pH=10.5, and the nCa/nP of ACP could be controlled between 1.0 and 1.5. The core-shell structure is stable after sintered at 500 oC for 3 h to remove the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). As compared with the irregular C3S particles (1~5 μm), the composite powders particles are spherical with a diameter of 40~150 μm. Therefore, to obtain the smaller size of composite powders, it is expected to avoid the aggregate of C3S particles in the aqueous solution by addition of dispersant. As compared with C3S, the composite powders may contribute better injectability, strength and biocompatibility.

In this study, copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were successfully prepared by adding EG (ethylene glycol) and PEG (4000, 8000) (polyethylene glycol) via an in-situ chemical precipitation method. EG and PEG (4000, 8000) were effective for changing the particular size of CuO and we examined the effects of drying type such as freeze drying, muffle and horizontal furnace on the size of CuO nanostructure. The structure, morphology and elemental analysis of CuO nanostructure were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Also, the CuO nanostructures showed excellent electrical conductivity by the changing of PEG’s molecular weight and drying processes.
