In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via precipitation method and calcinated at 500, 600, 700 and 800 ºC, respectively. TG/DTA curves expose the thermal stability of the prepared/asprepared product. The XRD results revealed that NiO nanoparticles have cubic structure. Crystallite sizes increase with increasing calcination temperatures by using two different methods via Scherer′s method and W-H method. The SEM and TEM images confirmed that the NiO nanoparticles have a spherical morphology with high agglomeration. The photoluminescence (PL) and FT-IR spectra give details of the crystal defects and functional groups present in the prepared samples. The energy bandgap of the prepared products was observed to be decreasing (3.59 to 3.01 eV), respectively. The VSM study confirms the occurrence of weak ferromagnetic behaviour. The highest specific capacitance of 555.62 F g-1 at 10 mV/s was obtained for NiO (800 ºC) nanoparticles.

The electrical properties of tin dioxide (SnO2) nanoparticles induced by low calcination temperature were systematically investigated for gas sensing applications. The precipitation method was used to prepare SnO2 powders, while the sol-gel method was adopted to prepare SnO2 thin films at different calcination temperatures. The characterization was done by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The samples were perfectly matched with the rutile tetragonal structure. The average crystallite sizes of SnO2 powders were 45 ± 2, 50 ± 2, 62 ± 2, and 65 ± 2 nm at calcination temperatures of 300, 350, 400, and 450°C, respectively. SEM images and AFM topographies showed an increase in particle size and roughness with the rise in calcination temperature. The dielectric constant decreased with the increase in the frequency of the applied signals but increased on increasing calcination temperature. By using the UV-Vis spectrum, the direct energy bandgaps of SnO2 thin films were found as 4.85, 4.80, 4.75, and 4.10 eV for 300, 350, 400, and 450°C, respectively. Low calcination temperature as 300°C allows smaller crystallite sizes and lower dielectric constants but increases the surface roughness of SnO2, while lattice strain remains independent. Thus, low calcination temperatures of SnO2 are promising for electronic devices like gas sensors.

Nano sized ZrO2 nanopowder was synthesized by precipitation method. Phase transformation was investigated as a function of calcination temperature by XRD, SEM , and FT-IR. It is indicated that the thermal anneling from 400 to 800 °C resulted in increasing the average crystallite size from 12 to 20 nm. As the calcination temperature increased, the crystallite size and the agglomeration were increased. The increase in the monoclinic content and grain growth are caused by the calcination temperatures even calcination at 800 °C.

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of NiO nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis Spectroscopy and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The influence of sonication time on the physical characteristics of NiO nanoparticles was illustrated. The interactions of NiO nanoparticles with both glucose and lactose have been0 studied using UV-vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Spectroscopy. XRD pattern reveals that NiO nanoparticles exhibit a face-centered-cubic lattice structure with a crystallite size of 22.77 nm. The magnetic hysteresis demonstrates the ferromagnetic behavior of NiO nanoparticles at room temperature. The energy band gap increases, from 2.8 eV to 3.1 eV, with increasing sonication time from 5 to 20 minutes. It is found that the interaction of lactose-NiO nanoparticles is stronger than that of glucose-NiO ones. The obtained results can be investigated in future biomedical applications, especially in non-enzymatic biosensors.

Growth of optically transparent single crystals of thiourea succinic acid (TUSA) was grown successfully from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The crystal structure was elucidated using the single crystal XRD. The various functional groups and the modes of vibrations were identified by FT-IR spectroscopic analysis. The optical absorption studies indicate that the optical transparency window is quite wide making its suitable for NLO applications. Thermal stability of the crown crystal carried out by TGA-DTA analysis.

Nickel Oxide (NiO) is an important transition metal oxide with cubic lattice structure. NiO is thermally stable that is suitable for tremendous applications in the field of optic, ceramic,glass, electro-chromic coatings, plastics, textiles, nanowires, nanofibers, electronics,energy technology, bio-medicine, magnetism and so on. In this present study, NiO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by sol-gel technique. Nano-sols were prepared by dissolving Nickel-Chloride [NiCl2.6H2O] in NaOH solvent and were converted into nano structured gel on precipitation. A systematic change in preparation parameters like calcination temperature, time, pH value has been noticed in order to predict the influence on crystallite size. Then the prepared samples were characterized by the X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopic (XRD), UV-VIS Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). From XRD, the average crystalline-size has been calculated by Debye-Scherrer Equation and it was found to be 12.17 nm and the band gap energy of Nickel oxide (NiO) from UV studies reveals around 3.85 eV. Further, EDX and FTIR studies, confirm the presences of NiO nanoparticles. The SEM study exhibits the spherical like morphology of Nickel oxide (NiO). Further from PSA, the mean value of NiO nanoparticles has been determined.

Administration of an antiviral drug, acyclovir via the oral route leads to low and variable bioavailability (15-30%). Therefore, this research work was aimed to enhance bioavailability of acyclovir by nanocrystallization technique. The drug nanocrystals were prepared by anti-solvent precipitation method in which different stabilizers were used. The formed nanocrystals are subjected to biopharmaceutical characterization including solubility, particle size and in-vitro release. SEM studies showed nano-crystals were crystalline nature with sharp peaks. The formulated drug nanocrystals were found to be in the range of 600-900nm and formulations NC7 and NC8 showed marked improvement in dissolution velocity when compared to pure drug, thus providing greater bioavailability. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed the absence of any chemical interaction between drug and polymers used.

The objective of this study was to develop a novel silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers with improved properties for use in bone repair applications. Large-sized whiskers with a mean length of 250μm were obtained by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method at 150°C, 7.5Mpa in high-pressure reactor. Silica modified hydroxyapatite whiskers were prepared by dissolving TEOS in ethanol solution, then sintering with hydroxyapatite. The compositional and morphological properties of prepared whiskers were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the evidence of nanosilicon dioxide particles on the surface of HAP whiskers. The size of nanosilicon dioxide particles depends on dropping and stirring rate. Hence, this new type of silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers is a valuable candidate for biomedical applications.Key words: hydroxyapatite, hydrothermal co-precipitation, surface modified, whiskers

Abstract In this paper, we synthesized a kind of bio-based plasticizer epoxidized linoleic acid cardanol ester(ELCE) from cardanol and linoleic acid. Its chemical structure was characterized with FT-IR and 1H NMR. Polyvinyl chloride(PVC) blends plasticized with ELCE were prepared via thermoplastic blending with torque rheometer. The performance including torque, mechanical property, thermal stability, plasticizing property and migration resistance of plasticized PVC blends were investigated and compared with plasticized PVC blends with commercial plasticizer dioctyl phthalate(DOP). The results showed that ELCE improved thermal stability of PVC blends. ELCE played more excellent plasticizing effect on PVC blends than DOP. The better solvent extraction resistance and volatile resistance of ELCE make it impossible to completely replace DOP in PVC products.
