ABSTRACTIn the recent time spinel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles have been largely studied owing to various applications of these materials in the information storage, ferro-fluid technology, magnetocaloric effect, refrigeration and medical diagnostics. In this category cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles specifically gained huge research attention and prepared by various chemical methods. However, further investigations are still needed on the substituted CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanoparticles to explore their various characteristics. In this paper we present our results on Mn and Zn substituted cobalt ferrite (Co0.6Zn0.4Mn0.3Fe1.7O4 ) nanoparticles prepared by chemical co precipitation method. The x ray diffraction pattern of as prepared Co0.6Zn0.4Mn0.3Fe1.7O4 (CZFMO) nanoparticles indicated their average particle size =20 nm. Magnetic properties of these nanoparticles before and after thermal annealing have been compared. Magnetization (M) vs. field (H) loop measurements at T = 293 K on as prepared and thermally annealed CZFMO nano powders revealed an unusual feature contrary to CFO nanoparticles prepared under same conditions. The saturation magnetization (Ms) decreases after the thermal annealing unlike the usual increase in Ms observed for CFO nanoparticles. These nano sized CZFMO powder samples are further characterized by low temperature magnetic measurements; Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

In this study, the effect of reaction temperature on the properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that synthesized nanoparticles are cobalt ferrite. Particle sizes and shapes were determined by a transmission electron microscope, and magnetic measurements were done using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The average particle size varies in the range of 5.7 - 10.7 nm as the temperature is raised from 30 to 80°C. With that, there is a transition from ferrimagnetic to superparamagnetic behaviors at 40°C. The critical size of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles for the superparamagnetic limit with zero coercivity is found to be around 6 nm, and its saturation magnetization value is 25.4 emu/g. This value is impressive higher compared to that in the other studies with similar preparation conditions.

In this paper, we report results on the fabrication and magnetic properties of spinel ferrite Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The effects of substituting Zn for Mn on the magnetic properties and particles size were focused. It was found that the phase-formation temperature is 90OC and the average particle size decreases from 40 nm to 10 nm when increased Zn concentration from zero to 0.8. The Curie temperature TC strongly decreases from 585 K (x = 0) to 320 K (x = 0.8) concomitantly with a decrease of the saturation magnetization MS. With a TC of 320 K and MS of 17 emu/g, the x=0.8 sample could be a promising candidate for some biomedical applications.

Nanostructured iron and cobalt ferrite particles were prepared from iron chloride and cobalt chloride, respectively, using the sonochemical method. The particles were compared with those synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The properties of the particles were characterized using various techniques, such as XRD, TEM, VSM and a SQUID magnetometer. The iron ferrite particles had an average particle size of about 15 nm and a magnetization value of 83 emu/g at a magnetic field of 50 kOe, while the particle size of cobalt ferrite was about 5 nm and its magnetization value was 33 emu/g at the same magnetic field.

The recent development of the using the magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatments emphasizes the needed of smart materials to become a safety for heat therapy. Self-regulate magnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 may be proper for thermal treatments. Structure and magnetic properties of the synthesis Mn1-xZnx Fe2O4 with x=0- 0.5 by step 0.1were studied. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 were prepared by co-precipitation method, followed that heat treatment in the autoclave reactor. XRD results showed that is difficult to prepare MnZnFe2O4 directly using the co-precipitation method. Preparation method yield nanoparticles with spherical shape and there is a slight change in the particle size distribution, also observed shrinkage occurs in the particle size after heat treatments, the average particle size was estimated about 20nm as confirmed by FESEM images. FTIR spectra of samples showed two distinct absorption peaks in the range ~ 617 – 426 (cm-1) related to stretching vibrations of the (Fe-O) in the tetrahedral and octahedral side respectively. Magnetic measurements were carried out using (VSM), M-H curves indicate typical soft magnetic materials and particles so small to be identical superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Heating ability of water based colloidal dispersions of samples were studied under magnetic field strength 6.5kA/m and the frequency 190 kHz, and the results showed when increasing Zn2+ to x=0.3 or more the samples not heated up. Depending on the heating curve susceptibility, effective relaxation time and Néel relaxation time , were determined.

Many researchers have currently interested in using Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) impregnated onto agricultural wastes for removal of heavy metal ions in wastewater treatment process. In this work, the MNPs-pomelo peel powder (MNPs-PP) composites were developed and their adsorption capacities of heavy metal ions were studied as well. The MNPs-PP samples were synthesized by co-precipitation method in different ratios; 2:1, 2:2, 2:4, 2:5, and 2:6 (by weight). The results showed that the as-synthesized MNPs were mainly spherical shape with an average particle size of approximately 12.7 ± 0.6 nm. Then, the MNPs, PP and MNPs-PP in different ratios were used as adsorbents for adsorption of 25 ppm Cu2+ in aqueous solution. The pH and temperature of solution were kept constant at 5 and 30 °C, respectively. From the experiment, it was found that the adsorption capacities decreased in the following order: PP > MNPs-PP (2:6) > MNPs-PP (2:5) > MNPs-PP (2:4) > MNPs-PP (2:2) > MNPs-PP (2:1) > MNPs. It indicated that the adsorption capacity of as-synthesized MNPs-PP is significantly higher than that of sole MNPs. Furthermore, the adsorption capacities of MNPs-PP increased with increasing the weight ratio of PP. The MNPs-PP developed herein has demonstrated not only high adsorption efficiency but also have shown additional benefits such as ease to synthesis, cost-effectiveness, environmental-friendliness, and ease to separate from treated water by an external magnet.

During the past few decades, hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) based on a magnetic material and gold have attracted interest for applications in catalysis, diagnostics and nanomedicine. In this paper, magnetic CoFe2O4/Au HNPs with an average particle size of 10–20 nm decorated with 2-nm gold clusters were prepared using methionine as a reducer and an anchor between CoFe2O4 and gold. The obtained nanoparticles were studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The TEM images of the HNPs obtained after one, six and ten gold deposition cycles showed that the surface of cobalt ferrite was covered with gold nanoclusters, which slightly increased with an increase in the number of gold deposition cycles (from 2.12 ± 0.15 nm after one cycle to 2.46 ± 0.13 nm after ten cycles) without any change in surface density. The magnetic measurements showed that the obtained HNPs possessed typical ferrimagnetic behaviour, which corresponds to that of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The toxicity evaluation of the synthesised HNPs on Chlorella vulgaris indicated that they can be applied to biomedical applications such as magnetic hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensing.

In this paper, magnetic CoFe2O4/Au HNPs with an average particle size of 20 nm, decorated with 2 nm gold clusters, were prepared using methionine as a reducer and an anchor between CoFe2O4 and gold. The methionine was used to grow the Au clusters to a solid gold shell (up to 10 gold deposition cycles). The obtained nanoparticles (NPs) were studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. The TEM images of the obtained HNPs showed that the surface of cobalt ferrite was covered with gold nanoclusters, the size of which slightly increased with an increase in the number of gold deposition cycles (from 2.12 ± 0.15 nm after 1 cycle to 2.46 ± 0.13 nm after 10 cycles). The density of the Au clusters on the cobalt ferrite surface insignificantly decreased during repeated stages of gold deposition: 21.4 ± 2.7 Au NPs/CoFe2O4 NP after 1 cycle, 19.0 ± 1.2 after 6 cycles and 18.0 ± 1.4 after 10 cycles. The magnetic measurements showed that the obtained HNPs possessed typical ferrimagnetic behavior, which corresponds to that of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. The toxicity evaluation of the synthesized HNPs on Chlorella vulgaris indicated that they can be applied to biomedical applications such as magnetic hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensing.

Using methods of synchronous thermal and X-ray structural analyzes applied to zirconium dioxide powders partially stabilized with yttrium obtained by chemical coprecipitation the processes of dehydration of these powders during annealing in air have been investigated. Using the dilatometry method, the regularities of compaction of powder compacts have been investigated with thermal sintering. It was found that the resulting powders mainly consist of the tetragonal modification zirconium dioxide and are nano-sized. The average particle size was 25 nm. The resulting powders are characterized by a high degree of agglomeration. It is shown that an increase in the thermal annealing temperature from 500 to 700ºС leads to partial baking of individual particles inside the agglomerate, and causes the formation of hard agglomerates, the presence of which complicates the processes of compaction and subsequent sintering. The presence of such agglomerates prevents the production of ceramics with high mechanical characteristics: density and porosity. Thermal annealing temperature increase leads to a decrease in the density of the sintered ceramic and a decrease in its hardness.

AbstractBackground:Piperine helps in the improvement of bioavailability through pharmacokinetic interaction by modulating metabolism when administered with other drugs. Nisoldipine is a substrate for cytochrome P4503A4 enzymes. The study was undertaken to assess the influence of piperine on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nisoldipine nanoparticles in rats.Methods:Optimization studies of nanoparticles were performed using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, and the nanoparticles were formulated by the precipitation method. The influence of piperine and nanoparticles was evaluated by means of in vivo kinetic and dynamic studies by oral administration in rats.Results:The entrapment efficiency, drug loading, ζ potential, and average particle size of optimized nisoldipine-piperine nanoparticles was 89.77±1.06%, 13.6±0.56%, −26.5 mV, and 132±7.21 nm, respectively. The in vitro release in 0.1 n HCl and 6.8 pH phosphate buffer was 96.9±0.48% and 98.3±0.26%, respectively. Pharmacokinetic studies showed a 4.9-fold increase in oral bioavailability and a >28.376±1.32% reduction in systemic blood pressure by using nanoparticles as compared to control (nisoldipine suspension) in Wistar rats.Conclusion:The results revealed that piperine being an inhibitor of cytochrome P4503A4 enzymes enhanced the bioavailability of nisoldipine by 4.9-fold in nanoparticles.

This study was carried out to prepare and characterize domperidone nanoparticles to enhance solubility and the release rate. Domperidone is practically insoluble in water and has low and an erratic bioavailability range from 13%-17%. The domperidone nanoparticles were prepared by solvent/antisolvent precipitation method at different polymer:drug ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 using different polymers and grades of poly vinyl pyrolidone, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizers. The effect of polymer type, ratio of polymer:drug, solvent:antisolvent ratio, stirring rate and stirring time on the particle size, were investigated and found to have a significant (p? 0.05) effect on particle size. The best formula was obtained with lowest average particle size of 84.05. This formula was studied for compatibility by FTIR and DSC, surface morphology by FESEM and crystalline state by XRPD. Then domperidone nanoparticles were formulated into a simple capsule dosage form in order to study of the in vitro release of drug from nanoparticles in comparison raw drug and mixture of polymer:drug ratios of 2:1. The release of domperidone from best formula was highly improved with a significant (p? 0.05) increase.
