AbstractPolypyrrole (PPy) dispersion was prepared using FeCl3·6H2O as oxidant in the presence of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as surfactant. The formation of the micelles and the electrostatic interaction between PPy and SDBS were considered the driving forces for the formation and stability of the dispersion. UV/Vis/NIR, FTIR spectra and SEM images were studied to confirm the structure and morphology of the PPy dispersion, respectively. Polymerization of pyrrole under different preparation conditions including the concentration of the surfactant, the pyrrole monomer and the oxidant and also the addition of acid were carried out in order to investigate their effects on the stability and average particle size of the dispersions. The conductivity of the resulting PPy particles was measured and a comparison between the PPy and polyaniline dispersion formed with SDBS as surfactant was also given.

This research deals with the synthesis of nanosized copper as colloidal solution and its application to cotton fabric. Copper nano colloids were prepared by chemical reduction of copper salt using sodium borohydride as reducing agent in presence of tri-sodium citrate. The size and size distribution of the particles were examined by particle size analyzer and the morphology of the synthesized particles was examined by SEM and AFM techniques. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy detected the presence of copper in the treated fabric. The results of particle size analysis showed that the average particle size varied from 60 nm to 100 nm. The nano copper treated cotton was subjected to soil burial test for the assessment of its resistance towards microbial attack. SEM images of treated fabric indicate copper nano particles are well dispersed on the surface of the specimens. The treatments of nano copper colloidal solution on cotton not only improve its antimicrobial efficiency but also influenced the tensile strength of the fabric sample positively. The treatment was found to enhance the color depth and fastness properties of direct dyed cotton fabric samples.

Mn-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared by using the microwave solvothermal synthesis (MSS) technique. The nanoparticles were produced from a solution of zinc acetate dihydrate and manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate using ethylene glycol as solvent. The content of Mn2+ in Zn1− x Mn x O ranged from 1 to 25 mol %. The following properties of the nanostructures were investigated: skeleton density, specific surface area (SSA), phase purity (XRD), lattice parameters, dopant content, average particle size, crystallite size distribution, morphology. The average particle size of Zn1− x Mn x O was determined using Scherrer’s formula, the Nanopowder XRD Processor Demo web application and by converting the specific surface area results. X-ray diffraction of synthesized samples shows a single-phase wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO without any indication of additional phases. Spherical Zn1− x Mn x O particles were obtained with monocrystalline structure and average particle sizes from 17 to 30 nm depending on the content of dopant. SEM images showed an impact of the dopant concentration on the morphology of the nanoparticles.

The aqueous dispersion of nanochitosan was prepared by polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) method with various mixing ratios of chitosan and polyanions, i.e., chitosan-glucomannan, chitosan-hyaluronic acid, and chitosan-Arabic gum. The formation of nanochitosan was carried out by adding the polyanion solution dropwise into the acid solution of chitosan. The study aimed to determine the best polyanion among the variations tested in this study, concerning the targeted particle size and the stability of the dispersion over time. Particle size distribution was observed by Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). The result indicated that Arabic gum gave the smallest average particle size, i.e. 192.5 nm, at a chitosan/polyanion mass ratio of 3:1 and pH value of 4.

Native corn starch (NS) was activated by treatment with NaOH /Urea /H2O solution at low temperature to improve its chemical reactivity. Effects of the activation on the molecular level structure and morphology of the corn starch were investigated by mean of SEM. It was found that the average particle size of activated corn starch (AS) decreased to nanometer level, smaller than those of NS. The cold water solubility (CWS) has been increased from 0.45% to 96.4%. Effects of the activation on reactivity of the corn starches were investigated by analyzing the influences of the activation on degrees of substitutions (DS) of the esterifications. The DS of AS was higher than that of NS, from 0 to 0.1578, which indicated that NaOH/urea activation enhanced the chemical reaction activity of corn starch.

Dynamic response performance of PEMFC affects its durability and reliability significantly. So improving on dynamic performance of PEMFC has become the key for prolonging PEMFC life in fuel cell vehicles application. In this study, in order to promote the PEMFC dynamic response performance, RuO2·xH2O was prepared by solgel method and then sprayed onto catalyst layers. The RuO2·xH2O prepared was characterized by TEM, which shows the average particle size of RuO2·xH2O was 8 nm and particulates were well distributed. A 10-cell stack using MEAs with and without RuO2·xH2O was assembled and studied under different relative humidity. It was found that added with RuO2·xH2O dramatically improves the dynamic response performance, which revealing that RuO2·xH2O can buffer the voltage undershoot and improve the stability and lifetime of PEMFC stack.

Objective: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be used as targeted drug delivery systems, however, AuNPs have high surface energy and easily aggregate,thus negatively impacting nanoparticle stability. Therefore, it is necessary to add a stabilizing agent to AuNPs. To synthesize AuNPs stabilized bypolyethylene glycol conjugated to folic acid (FA), thus creating a model drug (resveratrol [RSV]) carrier that targets FA receptors on cancer cells.Methods: AuNPs were synthesized using the Turkevich method and stabilized by adding FA conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG). After RSV wasloaded, the conjugate was physically characterized and subjected to stability tests.Results: The RSV-AuNP had an average particle size of 51.97 nm (polydispersity index [PDI] 0.694, zeta potential – 24.6 mV). The RSV-AuNP-PEG-FAconjugate (RSV-AuNP-PEG-FA) had an average particle size of 195.6 nm (PDI=0.233, zeta potential=−21.1 mV). Stability tests showed that RSV-AuNPPEG-FA was more stable than RSV-AuNP. Furthermore, RSV-AuNP-PEG-FA and RSV-AuNP were more stable in buffer pH 7.4 and bovine serum albumin2% than in buffer pH 4, cysteine 1%, and NaCl 0.9% solutions.Conclusion: PEG-FA conjugates can improve the stability of RSV-loaded AuNP.
