X-ray Powder Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimeter were used to study the effect of the manual grinding in an agate mortar of the diclofenac acid polymorphs HD1 and HD2. In particular, we have tried to highlight how the HD2 form is more sensitive than the HD1 to the grinding process to achieve a nanometric crystal size. HD1 shows no change, while in the case of the HD2, changes in the molecular conformation and the formation of a new metastable form of the polymorph are observed after grinding.

Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles

AbstractZinc sulfide nanoparticles, prepared employing a non-equilibrium route, are investigated for surface related effects. Water has been shown to induce a structural transformation in nanoparticles prepared this way, which is not related to their particle size. Employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and x-ray powder diffraction, we show here the importance of S-H interaction in the buildup to the final ZnS structure of these nanoparticles. These particles hold promise as water sensors.

CaCO3 polymorphs are intensively studied due to their importance in the nature and the widespread use in the industry as well. This work is dealing with the crystallization of aragonite from vaterite dispersion during the refluxation at 100°C. The characterization of CaCO3 polymorphs during vaterite transformation was performed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The influence of the different refluxing times on the aragonite crystallization was discussed. The purest aragonite, 70.7(2) wt.%, was synthetized in the sample refluxed for 60 minutes. Prolonged refluxation strongly affected aragonite crystals with gradual transformation into calcite.

In this paper, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) induced crystallization behavior of PASS was found and studied. To study NMP induced crystallization of PASS, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were employed. The results showed that the crystal induced by NMP was consistent with precipitates obtained in solution, and was the eutectic of PASS and NMP. With the induction time increased, crystalline region continued to improve and the crystal size became bigger.

Fraksi diterpen lakton dari Andrographis paniculata Nees (sambiloto) (FDTLS) memiliki kandungan utama andrografolid. andrografolid diketahui memiliki bioavailabilitas buruk, bersifat sangat lipofilik, dan memiliki kelarutan yang rendah di dalam air. Penjebakan bahan sukar larut ke dalam polimer hidrofilik seperti kitosan dapat memperbaiki disolusi yang selanjutnya akan meningkatkan bioavailabilitas dan efektivitasnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan disolusi serta mengetahui pengaruh jumlah kitosan terhadap karakteristik fisik, efisiensi penjebakan dan pelepasan FDTLS dari nanopartikel FDTLS-kitosan. Nanopartikel dibuat dengan metode gelasi ionik-semprot kering menggunakan tripolifosfat sebagai penyambung silang. Nanopartikel dibuat dengan rasio FDTLS-kitosan yang berbeda, yaitu 1:2 (FK1), 1:2,5 (FK2) dan 1:3 (FK3). Evaluasi yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi, pemeriksaan differential thermal analysis (DTA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), efisiensi penjebakan, dan uji pelepasan. Nanopartikel yang dihasilkan berbentuk sferis dan FK2 mempunyai permukaan paling halus dengan entalpi paling tinggi. Difraktogram nanopartikel FDTLS-kitosan menunjukkan perubahan kristalinitas menjadi lebih amorf. Efisiensi penjerapan FDTLS dalam nanopartikel kitosan sebesar 29,01-32,69%. Hasil uji pelepasan nanopartikel menunjukkan peningkatan kecepatan FDTLS terlarut sebesar 1,6 kali dibandingkan dengan substansi FDTLS. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembentukan nanopartikel dengan polimer kitosan dengan metode gelasi ionik-semprot kering dapat meningkatkan jumlah FDTLS terlarut.

The Status

A two-sided wooden icon from a monastery in Transylvania was submitted for multidisciplinary investigations involving X-Ray Fluorescence, Radiographic Photographyand Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The most important part of the icon is St. Nicholas wooden icon, painted over forty years ago. The spectroscopic methods used revealed the painting materials composition, the status of the wooden stage, and the presence of resins as varnish (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). On one side, the St Nicholasicon was painted over an old icon, St. Arch. Michael, which was evidenced by X-Ray Photography. The obtained data can serve for the preservation and the restoration of these wooden icons.

Flexible sensors and wearable electronics have become important in recent years. A good conductive and flexible textile is needed to develop a commercial wearable device. Conductive polymers have generally been used with limitation in reducing the surface resistance to a certain amount. In this research, a method for fabricating a stretchable highly conductive cotton/lycra knitted fabric is introduced by treating the fabric with polypyrrole (PPy), silver nanoparticles (SNPs) composites, and post-treating with poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). Polypyrrole and SNPs were in situ fabricated on the cotton/lycra fabric by consecutive redox reaction of silver nitrate and pyrrole and finally covered by PEDOT:PSS solution through dip-coating. The coated textile was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray mapping, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed PPy-SNPs (P-S) composites on the fabric surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results, X-ray mapping, EDAX, and XRD analysis also confirmed the P-S composites and PEDOT:PSS polymeric layer on the fabric. Morphological observation showed a layer of PEDOT:PSS on the P-S caused the higher connection of coating on textiles which resulted in the higher electrical conductivity (43 s/m). Also morphological observations showed penetration of the silver particles inside fibers which represented improving in attachment and stability of the coating on the fibers. Further, the electrical conductivity of PPy-SNPs-PEDOT:PSS coated textile increased under the tension. Hence, the stretchable and highly conductive knitted cotton/lycra fabric has potentiality to be used for fabricating the flexible sensors or wearable electronics.

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.
