AbstractGreen synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has received much attention due to biocompatibility and being facile and eco-friendly.Caesalpinia sappanLinn. (CS) is a plant found in Southeast Asia and is commonly known as sappan wood. In this research, we are the first to successfully use CS extract as reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of gold NPs (AuNPs). Colloidal solutions of AuNPs after reduction show natural red-wine and dark purple color depending on the size of AuNPs, without the interference of the orange/reddish-orange color from the CS extract. The concentration of CS was investigated for the formation and stabilization of AuNPs in colloidal solution (i.e. morphology, size and zeta potential). It was found that the optimized concentration of the reducing agent for the green synthesis of AuNPs was in the range of 0.004–0.04 wt% of CS. As the concentration of CS was increased, the sizes of AuNPs decreased due to the adsorption and stabilizing effect of CS. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed differences in size and shape of the NPs with earthworm and quasi-spherical characteristics. The zeta potential of AuNPs synthesized in the presence of CS was approximately in the range of −10 mV to −20 mV, indicating the stability of AuNPs synthesized by CS.

In reaction sintered SiC (∽ 5um average grain size), about 15% of the grains were found to have long-period structures, which were identifiable by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the stability of the long-period polytypes at high temperature, crystal structures as well as microstructural changes in the long-period polytypes were analyzed as a function of time in isothermal annealing.Each polytype was analyzed by two methods: (1) Electron diffraction, and (2) Electron micrograph analysis. Fig. 1 shows microdensitometer traces of ED patterns (continuous curves) and calculated intensities (vertical lines) along 10.l row for 6H and 84R (Ramsdell notation). Intensity distributions were calculated based on the Zhdanov notation of (33) for 6H and [ (33)3 (32)2 ]3 for 84R. Because of the dynamical effect in electron diffraction, the observed intensities do not exactly coincide with those intensities obtained by structure factor calculations. Fig. 2 shows the high resolution TEM micrographs, where the striped patterns correspond to direct resolution of the structural lattice periodicities of 6H and 84R structures and the spacings shown in the figures are as expected for those structures.

One primary drawback of enzyme catalysis at industrial scale is the short-term service life of the enzymes, they lose their activity due to oxidation or other processes which results in less stability and a shorter lifetime thereby rendering them less efficient. An effective way to increase the stability of the enzymes is to attach them to nanoparticles. In this work, the polymer Eudragit® L 100-55 sensitive to pH was used to prepare laccase polymeric nanoparticles by the double-emulsion solvent evaporation approach. The size and morphology of the nanoparticles obtained were evaluated—as well as the encapsulation efficiency and zeta potential. pH effect on activity and stability was compared between free and immobilized laccase. Their stability was also determined in a sequential assay involving acidic pHs up to alkaline ones. The nanoparticles had a spherical shape with a mean size of 147 nm, zeta potential of −22.7 mV at pH 7.0 and load efficiency of 87%. The optimum pH of both free and immobilized laccases was 3.0, being the nanoparticles more stable at acidic pHs. Thus, this would be the first report of obtaining laccase nanoparticles with potential application in animal feed due to the stability conferred to enzymatic activity at pHs similar to those present in the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits, which would allow their potential use in animal feed.

Green synthesis aims to minimize the use of unsafe reactants and maximize the efficiency of synthesis process. These could be achieved by using environmentally compassionate polymers and nontoxic chemicals. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), an ecofriendly polymer, was used as both reducing and stabilizing agents in the synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles, while silver nitrate was used as a precursor and water as a solvent. The formation of silver nanoparticles was assessed by monitoring UV-vis spectra of the silver colloidal solution. The size of the nanoparticles was measured using transmission electron microscope (TEM). Reaction kinetics was followed by measuring the absorbance of silver colloidal solution at different time intervals. Optimum reaction conditions revealed that the highest absorbance was obtained using HEC : AgNO3 of 1.5 : 0.17 (g/100 cm3) at 70°C for 120 min at pH 12. The Ag0 nanoparticles colloidal solution so obtained (1000 ppm) were found stable in aqueous solution over a period of six months at room temperature (°C). The sizes of these nanoparticles were found in the range of 11–60 nm after six months of storing. FTIR spectra confirmed the interaction of both the aldehyde and OH groups in the synthesis and stabilization of silver nanoparticles.

Multifunctional nanoparticles have been attracting growing attention in recent years because of their capability to integrate materials with different features in one entity, which leads them to be considered as the next generation of nanomedicine. In this work, we have taken advantage of the interesting properties of conjugated polyelectrolytes to develop multicolor fluorescent nanoparticles with integrating imaging and therapeutic functionalities. With this end, thermosensitive liposomes were coated with three recently synthesized polyfluorenes: copoly-((9,9-bis(6′-N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-(fluorene)-alt-1,4-(phenylene)) bromide (HTMA-PFP), copoly-((9,9-bis(6′-N,N,N-trimethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-(fluorene)-alt-4,7-(2- (phenyl)benzo(d) (1,2,3) triazole)) bromide (HTMA-PFBT) and copoly-((9,9-bis(6′-N,N,N- trimethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-(fluorene)-alt-1,4-(naphtho(2,3c)-1,2,5-thiadiazole)) bromide (HTMA-PFNT), in order to obtain blue, green and red fluorescent drug carriers, respectively. The stability, size and morphology of the nanoparticles, as well as their thermotropic behavior and photophysical properties, have been characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Zeta Potential, transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, the suitability of the nanostructures to carry and release their contents when triggered by hyperthermia has been explored by using carboxyfluorescein as a hydrophilic drug model. Finally, preliminary experiments with mammalian cells demonstrate the capability of the nanoparticles to mark and visualize cells with different colors, evidencing their potential use for imaging and therapeutic applications.

Mesoporous material SBA-15 was synthesized using P123 and TEMOS as the templates. Lithium in the form of LiOH was loaded over a previously prepared SBA-15. The basic strength of the prepared samples of SBA-15 was found to increase but the mesoporous structure was severely destroyed. The mesoporous structure of the prepared SBA-15 was retained after coating it with 30 wt. % magnesium prior to LiOH loading. The stability of mesoporous structure was strongly influenced by the extent of magnesium coating. It was also noted that this structure was also affected by LiOH loading and significantly destroyed structure when magnesium coating value exceeded 20 %. These samples were thoroughly characterized for their surface area, pore volume, pore size, basic strength, SAXRD patterns and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analysis.
