Abstract The intrinsic semiconducting poly (1-aminoanthraquinone) (PAAQ) was synthesized by simple oxidative polymerization of 1-aminoanthraquinone (1-AAQ) as a starting monomer at 25, 40 and 50 °C in the biphasic system. In this study 70 % of perchloric acid (HClO4) was used to enhance the acidity and 30 % of hydrogen peroxide was acted as an oxidant. The synthesized polymers were undergone studies for their crystalline nature, surface morphology, optical behavior, and electrochemical potential using XRD, SEM, UV-Vis, Fluorescence, FT-IR, DLS, and CV techniques respectively. The average crystalline size were found to be 45.47, 45.88, 45.51 nm and its band gap energies were 3.95, 3.89, 3.70, 3.55 eV at 25, 40 and 50 °C respectively. The SEM images reveal the formation of well-defined nanocubes with sheets and the average particles size was 75 nm. The efficiency in electrochemical properties of synthesized PAAQ polymerare evident from its redox peaks and in impedance curve. The synthesized PAAQ polymer at 25 °C have showed an optimized catalytic conversion of CO2 to CO3 and the stabilized shielding property against X-Ray irradiation during radiation therapy.

Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) encapsulated Bi2S3 Nanoparticles are synthesized from aqueous solutions at room temperature. Synthesized samples are subjected to UV-Visible Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDAX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and FT-IR studies and their results are compared. X-ray diffraction spectrum reveals the crystalline nature of the synthesized samples. Grain size value of PVP/ Bi2S3 nanoparticles show a decrease when compared to Bi2S3 nanoparticles and this ensures the good encapsulant effect of PVP on Bi2S3 nanoparticles. SEM images show that all the particles in the synthesized sample are nearly equal in size. From the TEM image we conclude that the particle size lies between 30nm to 70nm. Finally the samples are subjected to EDAX studies for determining their composition.

This paper explores the effect of prior enzymatic treatment on non-formaldehyde crosslinked cotton fiber and crystalline structure of cotton fibers after enzyme, crosslinking and a combination of enzyme and crosslinking treatments were examined by X-ray diffractometer. Results showed that during crosslinking treatment crystallinity index (%) values were increased with reduced crystallinity size and crosslinked of enzyme treated cotton did not change the crystalline nature of cotton (i.e. it was Cellulose I). In addition, by analysing FT-IR and SEM data it is confirmed that uniform presence of crosslinking agents was visible on cotton fibres.

In this study, composite nanofibers of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (PANI-DBSA) and Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were prepared via an electrospinning process. The surface morphology, thermal properties and crystal structure of PLA/PANI-DBSA nanofibers are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM images showed that the morphology and diameter of the nanofibers were affected by the weight ratio of blend solution.

Three clay samples (E1, E2, and C1) extracted from different parts of Ghana have been purified by sedimentation. The samples were further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and point of zero charge (pHpzc). PXRD and FT-IR data revealed the samples to be predominantly muscovite clay with percentages ranging from 82.71 to 91.33%. The surfaces were mostly cationic with pHpzc ranging from 5.58 to 6.40. Morphological studies by SEM confirmed the crystalline nature of the surfaces which is suitable for adsorption studies. Time-dependent adsorption studies show that C1 is a good candidate for the adsorption of chlorophenols, methyl orange, and Eriochrome Black T.

This paper investigated the antifungal and antibiofilm activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized with Lycopersicon esculentum extracts against Candida species. Lycopersicon esculentum extracts obtained by homogenization were mixed with silver nitrate to synthesize silver nanoparticles. Analysis of the particle characteristics by UV–Vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed that the Lycopersicon esculentum extracts effectively served as reductants and capping agents. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were conducted to confirm antifungal activity against Candida species. In all the tested species, the silver nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Candida. Moreover, the SEM images of Candida species treated with silver nanoparticles synthesized using natural extracts of Lycopersicon esculentum showed that silver nanoparticles adhered to the surface of Candida, which induced pore formation in the membranes and prevented their normal growth. Ultimately, these abnormal forms of Candida were thought to be less able to form biofilms than normal Candida. The antifungal and antibiofilm activities of silver nanoparticles against Candida are expected to be utilized in various fields and contribute in particular to developments in nanomedicine.

A series of Bi4O5Br2 photocatalysts were prepared via an innovation method of synthesis with ionic liquids (ILs). The crystal structures were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) images illustrated the unique structure of prepared photocatalysts. The photocatalysts were also characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis/DRS) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). The role of ILs in synthesis of Bi4O5Br2 on morphology and photocatalytic properties were investigated. Rhodamine B, 5-fluorouracil and chromium (VI) were used as the model micropollutants to evaluated adsorption capacity, photooxidation and photoreduction ability of prepared Bi4O5Br2 under artificial solar light. This work provided a new thought for enhanced photocatalytic activity of bismuth oxybromide photocatalysts.

Polypyrrole/montmorillonite (PPy/MMT) particles were synthesized using an oxidative polymerization method. Then the particles were added into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as additives to prepare PPy/MMT/PMMA composite. The structures and properties of the composite were characterized by FT-IR, TGA, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and four–probe machine. The relationship between content of PPy/MMT and conductivity was analyzed. The result shows that the amount of PPy/MMT is a key factor for improving the conductivity of composite. Furthermore, dynamic mechanical (DM) properties of composite were studied. When the PPy/MMT content reach 0.2% of composite, the storage modulus, loss function modulus, dissipation factor get highest values.

Silver nanoclusters have been formed by thermal decomposition of Ag-oleate complex. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images of the particles showed two-dimensional assembly of particles with diameter of 10.5 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum and X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks of the nanoclusters showed the highly crystalline nature of the silver structures. The decomposition of silver-oleate complex was analyzed by Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and the crystallization process was observed by XRD. The removal of the surfactant surrounding silver nanoclusters was measured by FT-IR and SEM images.

This research mainly aims at implementing green approach for synthesizing multifunctional manganese nanoparticles (MnNPs) using aqueous extract of banana peel (Musa paradiasca) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as the precursor. As synthesized MnNPs were confirmed initially by a color change and later on characterized by UV-visible (UV-vis) Spectrophotometer, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Green approach was carried at various parameters like concentration of precursor solution, reaction time, temperature, etc for optimization. The formation of MnNPs was confirmed by the presence of surface plasmon absorbance band  (450 nm) and band at 6 and 6.5 keV of EDX spectrum. Likewise, so formed MnNPs were crystalline nature depicted from the sharp peak observed at 28.5º and 41° in X-ray diffraction pattern. Various types of biomolecules associated with the banana peel extract acting as natural reducer and stabilizer were analyzed from characteristic absorption bands present in the FT-IR spectrum.
