Tio2 Sol

TiO2 sol was prepared by a sol-gel method. Sodium polymethacrylate (PMAA) was added to TiO2 sol, resulting in a stable TiO2-PMAA . The copper(II) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate ( CuPcTs ) was used to sensitize nanocrystalline TiO2 photocatalyst. The hybrid nanoparticles had an average particle size of 35 nm and core-shell type morphology was observed using a TEM. For the preparation of TiO2-CuPcTs , TiO2 was directly complexed with CuPcTs , leading to a particle size of 100 nm by a sonication treatment. The photodegradation of the hybrid type photosensitizer was measured using AO7 as an indicator with He-Ne laser with wavelength 633 nm. The efficiency of singlet oxygen generation was also measured by the reduction ratio of concentration of trans-1-(2′-methoxyvinyl) pyrene (MVP) responding to the change of fluorescene emission at 420 nm, depending on the irradiation time.

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of Y3Fe5O12, Gd3Fe5O12 and Dy3Fe5O12 nanoparticles by sol-gel method using initial salts solution of Y(NO3)3, Gd(NO3)3, Dy(NO3)3, Fe(NO3). The lattice constant, crystallite size and particle morphology of these ferrite garnet nanoparticles were studied by using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the garnet samples prepared by this method were formed at 800oC, which is lower than the sintering temperature for ceramic bulk samples (1400oC). The particle size is in the range 25- 40 nm as observed via TEM image and the average particle size was found to be 37nm using Debye- Scherrer formula.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

The scope of the present work is in enhancing the particle size, and dielectric properties of Mg-substituted Cobalt ferrites nanoparticles prepared by sol–gel auto combustion method. The different ratios of Mg-substituted Co Ferrites (Co[Formula: see text]MgxFe2O4([Formula: see text], 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30)) are calcinated at 850[Formula: see text]C. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, EDX techniques and dielectric behavior. The structural parameters were confirmed from powder XRD and the average particle size is obtained from 39 to 67 nm due to the substitution of Mg[Formula: see text] which was calculated by Debye Scherrer’s formula. FE-SEM showed the surface morphology of the different ratio of the sample. The dielectric loss has measured the frequency range of 50[Formula: see text]Hz–5[Formula: see text]MHz. From electrical modulus, conductivity relaxation and thermal activation of charge carriers has been discussed.

This study was carried out to prepare and characterize domperidone nanoparticles to enhance solubility and the release rate. Domperidone is practically insoluble in water and has low and an erratic bioavailability range from 13%-17%. The domperidone nanoparticles were prepared by solvent/antisolvent precipitation method at different polymer:drug ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 using different polymers and grades of poly vinyl pyrolidone, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizers. The effect of polymer type, ratio of polymer:drug, solvent:antisolvent ratio, stirring rate and stirring time on the particle size, were investigated and found to have a significant (p? 0.05) effect on particle size. The best formula was obtained with lowest average particle size of 84.05. This formula was studied for compatibility by FTIR and DSC, surface morphology by FESEM and crystalline state by XRPD. Then domperidone nanoparticles were formulated into a simple capsule dosage form in order to study of the in vitro release of drug from nanoparticles in comparison raw drug and mixture of polymer:drug ratios of 2:1. The release of domperidone from best formula was highly improved with a significant (p? 0.05) increase.

A series of Fe-Co nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel route at acidic, neutral and basic condition using rice husk as the silica source. The synthesized nanomaterials were designated as Fe-Co3, Fe-Co7 and Fe-Co9 and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and particle size analyzer. The great effect of pH was clearly evidenced from the shifting in the siloxane bond in the FTIR spectrum. TEM investigation confirmed the existence of discrete and almost sphere like nanoparticles. The particle size decreased with an increase in the pH, registering the smallest average particle size at pH 9. In brief, this study promises a fast, rapid and promising method for the conversion of silica rice husk into nanoscale bimetallic materials.

Abstract Synthesis and characterization of the aluminum phosphates modified with ammonium, calcium and molybdenum were conducted. The influence of process parameters (reactive pressure and molar ratios) in the reaction mixture were studied. The contents of the individual components in the products were in the range of: 10.97–17.31 wt% Al, 2.65–13.32 wt% Ca, 0.70–3.11 wt% Mo, 4.36–8.38 wt% NH3, and 35.12–50.54 wt% P2O5. The materials obtained in the experiments were characterized by various physicochemical parameters. The absorption oil number was in the range from 67 to 89 of oil/100 g of product, the surface area was within the range of 4–76 m2/g, whereas the average particle size of products reached 282–370 nm. The Tafel tests revealed comparable anticorrosive properties of aluminum phosphates modified with ammonium, calcium, molybdenum in comparison with commercial phosphate.

In the present work, the characterization of monolithic materials formulated at different weight concentrations was conducted; employing two of the ceramic materials most used in the refractory industry, zircon and alumina. These monolithic materials were fabricated using colloidal techniques, specifically plaster casting mold, in order to obtain pieces with a higher particle consolidation and density, reducing porosity to lower values than the obtained using traditional shaping process of these materials. The monoliths were obtained employing two ceramic powders with different average particle size and morphology to achieve better packing in the green body. This characterization was carried out, firstly, determining the particle size of the raw materials by laser diffraction and the evaluation of particle morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Aqueous suspensions were formulated by containing both ceramic materials, which were dispersed with Tamol 963, and analyzed by rheometric techniques. Subsequently, bars were manufactured having the following dimensions; 4 mm wide, 3 mm thick and 45 mm in length, according to ASTM C1161-02cc, to be characterized microstructural and mechanically, also was observed the fracture habit after the mechanical test. As a final result, the materials formulated at higher alumina content showed higher density values, reaching 94.95% of the theoretical density, also showed a higher thermal expansion coefficient and high rupture modulus, reaching up to 600 MPa and Young modulus of 230 GPa. From the microstructure characterization it was observed that alumina matrix shows a transgranular fracture across the grains and zircon particles exhibited intergranular fracture among the grain boundaries.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.
