Composite membranes were prepared by incorporating inorganic silica nanoparticles into blends of polysulfone/polyimide (PSF/PI) membranes via sol-gel route. Morphological structures of the developed membranes were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Spectroscopic analysis of the hybrid membranes were done by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased from 209oC to 238oC in the hybrid membranes followed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that showed significant improvement in thermal stability of the developed membranes.

Development of an ecofriendly, reliable, and rapid process for synthesis of nanoparticles using biological system is an important bulge in nanotechnology. Antioxidant potential and medicinal value of Adiantum philippense L. fascinated us to utilize it for biosynthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs). The current paper reports utility of aqueous extract of A. philippense L. fronds for the green synthesis of AuNPs and AgNPs. Effect of various parameters on synthesis of nanoparticles was monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry. Optimum conditions for AuNPs synthesis were 1 : 1 proportion of original extract at pH 11 and 5 mM tetrachloroauric acid, whereas optimum conditions for AgNPs synthesis were 1 : 1 proportion of original extract at pH 12 and 9 mM silver nitrate. Characterization of nanoparticles was done by TEM, SAED, XRD, EDS, FTIR, and DLS analyses. The results revealed that AuNPs and AgNPs were anisotropic. Monocrystalline AuNPs and polycrystalline AgNPs measured 10 to 18 nm in size. EDS and XRD analyses confirmed the presence of elemental gold and silver. FTIR analysis revealed a possible binding of extract to AuNPs through –NH2 group and to AgNPs through C=C group. These nanoparticles stabilized by a biological capping agent could further be utilized for biomedical applications.

Tempeh is a local Indonesian food that is liked by the community, both locally and internationally. The high protein content is the reason for choosing tempeh as a complementary food. In its production, tempeh is made by two important processes, including treatment and fermentation. During this process, the protein can be damaged, resulting in a decrease in the protein content of tempeh. Based on these problems, this study aims to analyze the reduction of tempeh protein content during the production process. The analysis used two spectroscopic methods, including FTIR and UV-Visible. FTIR spectroscopy was used to observe the reduction in total protein content, while UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to observe the reduction in dissolved protein content. The results of the study for FTIR analysis showed that at the pretreatment and fermentation stages, both caused a decrease in the total protein content of tempeh. This was observed with a decrease in the intensity of IR absorption at a wavenumber of 1745 cm-1 which is identical to the C=O group and 1543 cm-1 which is identical to the N-H group. Based on the results of the UV-Visible study, it shows that the fermentation time affects the amount of dissolved protein. This situation is supported by the increasing pH of tempeh and decreasing water content during fermentation.

The device formation in current technology demands effective magnetic materials. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized by the co–precipitations method using the precursor materials (Fe(No3)3 9H2O) and (Co(NO3)2 6H2O). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and UV–Visible absorption spectral studies were used to analyze the structural, chemical/functional groups with possible stretching and optical bandgap properties of the CoFe2O4 powder. XRD results designate that the resultant particles are crystalline, pure single-phase spinel structure. From the FTIR analysis reveals that C-C, C=O stretching, and the shift is leaked indicating that the presence CoFe2O4. The absorption and the optical band gaps values are increased trend with temperatures also evidence that is enhancing magnetic behavior.

This study presents wet chemical reaction synthesis of nano Hydroxyapatite (HA) powder from seashells and the use of HA powder for the preparation of a composite coating with polysulfone (PSU), a biocompatible polymer which is electrospun on to Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The XRD/EDX patterns obtained for the synthesized powder showed phase pure hydoxyapatite and the HR-SEM analysis revealed that the HA particles have rod-shaped morphology. The HA powder was reinforced with Polysulfone (PSU) under different concentrations and coated by electro spinning over 2 mm thick sheets of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The coated titanium sheets were also characterized by HR-SEM.

The polymer-laced Cu-ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by one-pot non-aqueous nanoemulsion method with the use of PEO-PPO-PEO as the surfactant, C14H29CH(OH)CH2OH as the reducing agent, octyl ether as the solvent, Zn (acac)2 and Cu (acac)2 as precursors. The Morphology and structure of nanoparticles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). UV-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and photoluminescence spectrometry (PL) were employed to valuate the optical properties of the nanoparticles. The Cu-ZnO nanoparticles with well defined optical properties are promising for optical, catalytic and biomedical applications.

As part of our studies on the synthesis and the characterization of oxalate-bridged compoundsM–ox–M(ox = oxalate dianion andM= transition metal ion), we report the crystal structure of a new oxalate-bridged MnIIphase, {(CH6N3)[Mn(C2O4)Cl(H2O)]·H2O}n. In the compound, a succession of MnIIions (situated on inversion centers) adopting a distorted octahedral coordination and bridged by oxalate ligands forms parallel zigzag chains running along thecaxis. These chains are interconnected through O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions to form anionic layers parallel to (010). Individual layers are held togetherviastrong hydrogen bonds involving the guanidinium cations (N—H...O and N—H...Cl) and the disordered non-coordinating water molecule (O—H...O and O—H...Cl), as well as by guanidinium π–π stacking. The structural data were confirmed by IR and UV–Visible spectroscopic analysis.

There is a growing need for new biomaterials that can gain predictable and controlled tissue response, this is, that as bone graft substitutes should initiate new bone formation, after which they should get reabsorbed and replaced by bone tissue. This combination aims to improve the mechanical properties, degradation rates and absorption rates of biocompatibility and biodegradability. The aim of this study was to propose a synthetic route in which the HA was obtained by reaction of precipitation directly on evaluating the influence of chitosan biopolymer in the middle of precipitation in the characteristics of hydroxyapatite obtained. XRD analysis revealed the presence of HA phase with low crystallinity. In the FTIR analysis identified the characteristic bands of hydroxyapatite, as well as bands that characterize an interaction between chitosan and hydroxyapatite, as the band around 1050cm-1. SEM analysis of the biocomposites chitosan/HA, showed a dispersion of HA particles in chitosan, revealing a homogenous material and microporous.

Hydrothermal Carbonization an emerging technology for the conversion of biomass into carbon rich materials called as hydrochar. In this study, the paper board mill ETP sludge has been used for the production of hydrochar. The characterization of point of zero charge, Heavy metals, proximate and ultimate constituents, structural morphology (SEM), and molecular surface functionalities (FTIR) were also analysed. The results of Hydrochar showed slightly acidic pH (6.40), EC (1.33), and the pHPZC (point of zero charge) of 7.8 and the heavy metals content were found to be below detectable limit. FTIR analysis revealed that, the produced hydrochar have oxygen containing functional groups (-OH, C-O-C, -C=O). SEM analysis has the morphological features such as spongy, fuzzy and fluffy porous network on surfaces. These results of hydrochar can be act as an active adsorbent with further activation.

For the first time, we describe the production of nanocrystalline CuO particles using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). The effects of CSNL dosage, reaction duration, and concentrations on copper reduction and nanoparticle formation were studied. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized using TEM, XRD and FTIR analysis. The syntheses of nano-sized CuO NPs were confirmed via TEM and XRD and show the presence of well-dispersed CuO NPs ranging from 15 to 20 nm. The results confirm that CuO nanocrystals have high antibacterial efficacy and hence have great potential in the preparation of drugs against bacteria.
