Platinum nanoparticles and nanorods were synthesized by microwave-assisted solvothermal techniques. Changing the reaction conditions controlled particle size and morphology. The effects of the reaction conditions, such as the molar ratio of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) repeating unit to the metal sources, the concentration of metal sources, the reaction temperature, and the presence of distilled water were investigated. Nanoparticles of Pt were approximately 3 nm in size. Produced nanoparticles and nanorods were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Image JTM software was used to calculate the particle size and size distribution.

Well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solvothermal technique using methanol and ethanol. Particle size and morphology were controlled mainly by the reaction temperature. Particle size of Pd nanoparticles was controlled in the range of 2 to 11 nm by manipulating the reaction conditions. The Pd nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy for particle size and shape and UV-Vis spectroscopy for optical properties. UV-Vis spectra showed that synthesized Pd nanoparticles stabilized with PVP had absorption bands at around 280 to 290 nm.

The complex rheology and the phase behavior of thermally sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels have been investigated in both the swollen and collapsed states by using microrheology. To avoid the interactions between the tracer probes and the PNIPAM microgels, such as the adsorption or the depletion effect, the probes of silica (SiO2) particles have been grafted with PNIPAM chains (SiO2-PNIPAM) and characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The successful preparation of SiO2-PNIPAM has also been proved by the investigation of the particle size and morphology with dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) below and beyond the phase transition temperature of PNIPAM. The microrheology of the PNIPAM microgel suspension has been investigated by using the prepared SiO2-PNIPAM particles as microrheological probes, and the results show that the diffusive coefficient of the probes in the swollen state is one-fifth of that in the collapsed state, and the viscosity of the PNIPAM microgel suspension in the swollen state is four times higher than that in the collapsed state, indicating SiO2-PNIPAM is a good probe in the microrheological study of PNIPAM microgel suspensions.

Calcium carbonate(CaCO3) was synthesized from aqueous CaCl2 solution, using the homogeneous precipitation technique, which uses the hydrolysis of urea. The effects of reaction conditions on the morphology of CaCO3 were examined at 50-90°C. Particle size of CaCO3 decreases, as the concentrations of urea and [Ca2+] are increased. Calcite is produced more, as the concentration of [Ca2+] is increased. Method to stir the reaction solution affects significantly the particle size and morphology of CaCO3. Uniform needle-like aragonite particles were obtained, when left at 90°C for 4hours without stirring.

AlN powders were synthesized by carbothermal reduction method using a combustion synthesis precursor derived from aluminum nitrate (oxidizer), glucose (carbon source), and urea (fuel) mixed solution. Effects of carbon source content on the combustion temperature of solutions, the particle size and morphology of the precursors and the synthesized AlN were studied in detail. The results indicated that a regular variation in the particle size and morphology of precursors had been observed with the increasing molar ratio of glucose to aluminum nitrate (C/Al). The products prepared with (C/Al=8–12), calcined at 1500 oC for 2 h, could have completed the nitridation reaction, while the nitridation products prepared with (C/Al=4 and 16) are opposite. The nitridation products prepared with (C/Al=8–12), calcined at 1500 oC for 2 h, are comprised of well-distributed spherical particles of AlN with the average size ranging from 50 to 80 nm.

Ag, Au and Ti metal nanoparticles colloids have been prepared by pulsed laser ablation in various liquids. The particle size and morphology of the obtained nanoparticles colloids were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the average diameter and its distribution were analyzed by Image-ProPlus software. The results showed that the Au nanoparticles were of the best characterization, the average diameter was the smallest (D=8.79 nm), and also, the distribution of particle size was the narrowest (=17.5 nm) and the morphologies were more homogeneous.

This paper discusses the physicochemical properties of powders obtained by spray drying of cloudy beetroot juice, using dehumidified air in variants with or without carriers. The inlet air temperature was 130 °C or 90 °C, and the addition of the carriers was at a ratio of juice to carrier solids of 3:2. In the obtained powders, the following physicochemical properties were determined: water content and water activity, apparent density, loose and tapped density, porosity, flowability, particle size and morphology, and the content and retention of betalains. It was possible to dry cloudy beetroot juice without the use of carriers at low temperatures (90 or 130 °C). The 100% beetroot powders were characterized by satisfactory physicochemical properties, often better than those with carriers (including lower hygroscopicity and higher color saturation and yield). A lower loss of betalains was found for the powders with the addition of carriers. The best process yields were obtained for the powder without carriers at 130 °C and 90 °C.

Calcium tartrate finds various applications. In the present study, calcium tartrate nanoparticles were synthesized by wet chemical method using surfactant mediated approach. The powder XRD pattern revealed the typical broadening of peaks indicating the nanostructured nature. The average crystallite size was calculated by applying the Scherrer's formula to powder XRD pattern and was found in the range of 22.8–23.9 nm. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). FTIR spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of various functional groups. From TGA, it was found that calcium tartrate nanoparticles remained stable up to 120°C and were having two water molecules associated with them. The results are compared with the bulk crystalline materials available in the literature.

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is considered to be an excellent candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. In this study, we propose a hydrothermal method for the preparation of single phase NBT powder at relatively low treatment-temperature. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized powders were examined by SEM. The powders were further pressed into disk and sintered at 1120°C/2h in air, and its properties and microstructure were compared with traditionally prepared samples.
