Abstract We have successfully produced Tricine Potassium Nitrate (TPN) single crystal synthesis using the solution growth method in this study. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique was used to identify the phases of TPN crystals. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis was performed to examine the functional groups contained in the produced crystals. To measure optical transparency, a UV-VIS-NIR investigation was conducted between 200 and 800nm. TPN crystal's photoluminescence (PL) spectrum was recorded. Vickers' hardness tester was used to investigate the mechanical characteristics of the formed crystal.Thermal gravimetric/differential thermal analysis was used to investigate the thermal behaviors of the produced crystals. The surface morphology of the formed crystal was determined using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Wet etching experiments were used to investigate the TPN crystal's growth feature. The shock damage threshold technique was used to determine the shock strength at which the crystal poses a risk. The Kurtz-Perry technique was used to investigate the effectiveness of the developed crystals' second harmonic generation (SHG). The antibacterial activity of TPN grown crystal against various standard bacterial strains.

A novel semiorganic nonlinear optical crystal bis (L-glutamine) potassium nitrate (BGPN) grown by slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The grown crystal surface has been analyzed by chemical etching and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. Amplitude parameters like area roughness, roughness average, valley height, valley depth, peak height, and peak valley height were measured successfully from AFM studies. Etching studies were carried out by various solvents like water, methanol and ethanol. The etching study indicates the occurrence of different types of etch pit patterns like striations and steplike pattern. The laser damage threshold energy has been measured by irradiating laser beam using a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser (1064 nm). Second harmonic generation (SHG) studies have been performed by famous Kurtz powder technique with reference to standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals (KDP). It is found from this technique that SHG efficiency of BGPN is in comparison to that of standard KDP crystals.

Diphenylphosphinothioic acid (HSP(=O)Ph2) and diphenylphosphinodithioic acid (HSP(=S)Ph2) have been used to synthesise four BiIII complexes: 1 [Bi(SP(=O)Ph2)3], 2 [BiPh(SP(=O)Ph2)2], 3 [BiPh2(SP(=O)Ph2)], and 4 [Bi(SP(=S)Ph2)3], using BiPh3 and [Bi(OtBu)3] as bismuth sources. The complexes have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and singe crystal X-ray crystallography (2–4). Biological studies indicated that despite complexes 2 and 3 reducing mammalian cell viability, their antibacterial activity provides a good degree of selectivity towards both Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains. The minimum inhibitory concentrations for complexes 2 and 3 are in the range of 0.52–5.5µM towards the bacteria tested. Homoleptic complexes 1 and 4 were generally less active towards both bacterial and mammalian cells.

In this paper a series of silver ions-substituted hydroxyapatites (HA) were prepared. The antibacterial activities of these materials on textiles against bacteria have been investigated. Titania (TiO2) was selectively added into the materials to decrease the silver-ions concentration to get the same active antimicrobial effects. The microstructure, the shape and size, concentration of silver, and the groups of the composite materials were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that there was a dose dependent-effect of silver-ions concentration from the disk diffusion test. The higher the silver-ions concentration, the better the antibacterial activity of the composite materials was. Keeping silver-ions concentration constant, the antibacterial activity of the materials for adding Titania was better than that of without Titania. Moreover, the addition of Titania would inhibit the discolouration of the composite materials. The antibacterial activities of the composite materials differentiate to some extent with the bacterial strains.

The formation of biofilm (Biofouling) in different surface is the great concern in types of fields, especially in medical and health system as well as in membrane technology. The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of Al2O3 nanopowders with antibacterial activity which can be a potentially utilized material for biocompatible implants. Nanostructure was synthesized based on sol-gel method and then, crystallite size, and microstructural and morphological characterization of nanostructure were determined by X-ray diffraction, electron-microscopic techniques - scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). According to X-ray diffraction, the value of particle size for Al2O3 nanopowders is 20.85 nm. In the following, the antibacterial activity of Al2O3 nanoparticles was assessed on three gram positive and three gram negative bacteria by radial diffusion assay and measurement of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The toxicity of Al2O3 nanopowders on blood cells was also assessed. The results showed that this nanostructure has potent antibacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The synthesized Al2O3 nanopowders showed the antimicrobial activity against antibiotic resistant bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. Significant antibacterial activity of this nanostructure was seen to have a greatest effect on Bacillus cereus with the MIC value of 9.2 μg/ml; while, among bacterial strains, Salmonellatyphimurium was investigated to be the most resistant one with the MIC of 35.6 μg/ml. Al2O3 nanopowders showed no toxicity on blood cells. according to acquired data in this study, Al2O3 nanopowders may be a good material for inhibition of biofilm formation.

An accurate structure model of sodium-doped potassium titanyl phosphate, (Na0.114K0.886)K(TiO)2(PO4)2, has been determined at 10.5 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition to the low-temperature data, X-ray intensities have been collected at room temperature. When the temperature was decreased from room temperature to 10.5 K, both potassium cations moved 0.033 (2) Å along the c-axis, i.e. in the polar direction within the rigid Ti—O—P network. This alkaline metal ion displacement can be related to the Abrahams–Jamieson–Kurtz T C criteria for oxygen framework ferroelectrics. Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) is a well known material for second harmonic generation (SHG), and the influence of sodium dopant on the TiO6 octahedral geometry and SHG is discussed. The material studied crystallizes in the space group Pna21 with Z = 4, a = 12.7919 (5), b = 6.3798 (4), c = 10.5880 (7) Å, V = 864.08 (9) Å3, T = 10.5 (3) K and R = 0.023.

Abstract The development of biocompatible, cost effective and more efficient materials to control or inhibit the growth of microorganisms in necessary to fight against resistant microbes. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of nickel oxide-incorporated polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol (PANI/PVA/NiOx) composite material by single-step polymerization and its application as antibacterial agent. The composite films were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). UV-Vis spectra revealed the enhancement in absorption properties of PANI/PVA/NiOx with optimum 5% incorporation of NiOx. TGA results indicated slightly enhanced thermal stability of the PANI/PVA/NiOx composite film as compared to PANI/PVA. FTIR spectra for composites revealed the existence of NiOx in polymers. However the crystallinity of PANI/PVA was not much affected. The antibacterial activity of the prepared composites was examined against four different gram negative bacteria, Salmonella, Shigella, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The composite exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella and Shigella while pseudomonas showed some resistance. Based on the results, PANI/PVA/ NiOx (5%) composite showed the highest activity against the tested bacterial strains, thus showing its potential to be used as an effective antibacterial agent.
