Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp), due to its high biocompatibility, is widely used as biomaterial. Doping with various ions of hydroxyapatite is performed to acquire properties as close as possible to the biological apatite present in bones and teeth. In this research the results of a study performed on thin films of hydroxyapatite co-doped with nitrogen and bromine (NBrHAp) are presented for the first time. The NBrHAp suspension was obtained by performing the adapted co-precipitation method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The thin layers of NBrHAp were obtained by spin-coating. The stability of the NBrHAp suspension was examined by ultrasound measurements. The thin layers obtained by the spin-coating method were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), and metallographic microscopy (MM). The presence of nitrogen and bromine were highlighted by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to highlight the chemical status of nitrogen and bromine. In addition, the powder obtained from the NBrHAp suspension was analyzed by XRD. Moreover, the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the NBrHAp suspensions and coatings was investigated using the reference microbial strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The results highlighted the successful obtainment of N and Br co-doped hydroxyapatite suspension for the first time by an adapted co-precipitation method. The obtained suspension was used to produce pure NBrHAp composite thin films with superior morphological properties. The NBrHAp suspensions and coatings exhibited in vitro antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal strains and revealed their good antimicrobial activity.

Abstract Lanthanum cerium ferrite nanoparticles has been synthesized for the first time via hydrothermal and co-precipitation method. The structural and morphological study of the nanoparticles have been examined by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The electrochemical study of J1 and J2 electrodes have been examined using three electrode system in 6 M KOH electrolyte using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charging-discharging (GCD) and electrochemical impendence spectroscopy (EIS). The highest specific capacitance of 1195 F/g has been obtained at a scan rate of 10 mV/s from hydrothermal synthesis nanomaterial electrode (J2) and long cycling life 92.3% retention after 2000th cycles. Furthermore, the energy density and power density of the J2 electrode at a current density of 5 A/g was 59 Wh/kg and 9234 W/kg respectively. Hence, the fabricated J2 electrode is a favorable candidate for super-capacitor applications.

A mixed ligand Cd(II) complex [Cd(IsoPht)(TEA)H2O]·3H2O was synthesized for the first time by using isophthalic acid (H2IsoPht) and tetradentate triethanolamine (TEA) and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, FT-IR, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). This novel complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with P-1 space group and distorted monocapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The Cd(II) has seven coordinates with bidentate IsoPht, a TEA in the tetradentate mode, and an aqua ligand. The fluorescence properties of the Cd(II) complex and TEA ligand were investigated at room temperature. The present Cd(II) complex was also tested for its antimicrobial activity by in vitro agar diffusion method against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and a fungus.

Nanosized Gd6WO12 phosphors containing various Er3+ concentrations and fixed Yb3+ concentration were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The crystal structure and microscopic morphology of the obtained nanophosphors were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Two-photon processes for both the green and red upconversion (UC) emissions were confirmed by analyzing the dependence of UC intensities on 980 nm laser working current. UC emission intensity changing with temperature displays different trends for the samples with different Er3+ concentrations. The experimental results indicated that thermal quenching behavior of UC luminescence could not be simply explained by crossover mechanism. The enhancement for green UC emission in the sample with higher Er3+ concentration was discussed. Finally, the Er3+ concentration dependence of UC luminescence was experimentally observed, and its mechanisms were analyzed.

The magnetic Fe2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method with FeCl3 and NaOH as starting reagents. The surface of Fe2O3 nanoparticles was modified with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposites were calcined at 600 °C. The nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The PLL-Fe2O3@SiO2 (SMNP) was prepared by modifying with poly-L-lysine on the surface. The SMNP combined with plasmid siRNA by static electrical charges as one of gene carriers was transfected into SD rat neurons. The results of fluorescence microscope and Prussian blue staining show that SMNP can effectively enter cells. Therefore, SMNP are one kind of novel and effective gene carriers, it can transfect the plasmid which carries the siRNA into SD rats neurons in vitro.

Pure ZnO and Ag, Co doped ZnO nano particles [Zn1-xAgxCoyO, where x = 0.00 and 0.05, y = 0.05] were synthesized by chemical co precipitation method without use of surfactant. All the prepared samples calcinated in 1 hour at 500oC, after that the morphology of the samples were evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The X- ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the synthesized co-doped ZnO nano crystals had the pure hexagonal structure without any significant change in the structure affected by Ag and Co substitution. Dopant elements Ag and Co are present in the ZnO host material and conformed by Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray Spectra (EDAX). The incorporation of Ag+ in the place of Zn2+ has made a considerable decrease in the size of nano crystals as compared to pure ZnO nano particles (It is to be noted that Co should be kept constant at 5 mol %). Blue emission was observed by Photo Luminescence (PL) Spectra.

Chitosan-hydroxyapatite composite doped with strontium was synthesised via in situ co-precipitation method. Physicochemical properties of the composite obtained were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Thermogravimetry with differential thermal analysis (DT-TGA). The synthesized composite was subjected to bioactivity studies in simulated body fluid (SBF). The calcium release from the sample in SBF was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The physicochemical properties and bioactivity of the novel composite was compared with that of hydroxyapatite, strontium doped hydroxyapatite and chitosan hydroxyapatite. The in vitro bioactivity studies of the novel composite showed that it has a higher release of Ca2+ in the SBF compared to the other samples. The novel material was also found to induce more Ca2+ deposition after 28 days of immersion in the SBF. Hence, the novel composite material has the potential to be used as biomaterials for clinical application.

In the present work, we have prepared Co doped In2O3 nanoparticles using co-precipitation method. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and dc magnetization hysteresis loop measurements. From the X-ray diffraction analysis it observed that all sample exhibits single phase polycrystalline nature. All the diffraction lines correspond to the bixbyite cubic structure. The full width half maximum (FWHM) calculated from XRD pattern has been found to decrease with increase in the Co contents, indicating that particle size decreases with increase in the Co concentration. FE–SEM micrograph reflects the nanocrystalline behavior of all the samples and shows that doping of Co ions hinders growth of the particles. DC magnetization measurements reveal that Co -DOPED In2O3 samples exhibits room temperature ferromagnetism.

Monoclinic Bi2O3:Ho3+ powder was synthesized using a co-precipitation method, followed by the deposition of Bi2O3:Ho3+ thin films on Si (100) substrates at various substrate temperatures (room temperature–600 °C) and oxygen partial pressures (5–200 mT) using pulsed-laser deposition. X-ray diffraction analysis showed a single α-Bi2O3 phase at temperatures of 400 and 500 °C, while a mixed α- and β-Bi2O3 phase was obtained at 600 °C. The films deposited at the different oxygen partial pressures showed an α-Bi2O3 and non-stoichiometric phase. The influences of different substrate temperatures and oxygen partial pressures on the morphology and the thickness of the films were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. The root mean square roughnesses of the films were determined by using an atomic force microscope. The surface components, oxidation states and oxygen vacancies in all the deposited thin films were identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The optical band gap of the Bi2O3:Ho3+ thin films was calculated using diffused reflectance spectra and was found to vary between 2.89 and 2.18 eV for the deposited films at the different temperatures, whereas the different oxygen partial pressures showed a band gap variation between 2.97 and 2.47 eV. Photoluminescence revealed that Ho3+ was the emitting centre in the isolated thin films with the 5F4/5S2 → 5I8 transition as the most intense emission in the green region.

The purpose of this study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of carvedilol by forming a complex with ?-cyclodextrin. Phase solubility diagrams revealed increase in solubility of the drug upon cyclodextrin addition, showing AN type curve. Complexation of carvedilol was carried out with ?-cyclodextrin by physical mixing, kneading and co-precipitation method. The prepared complexes and physical mixture were characterized by Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffractometry and inclusion efficiency. It was also observed that the complexes exhibit higher dissolution rates than the pure drug and physical mixture. Among all carvedilol-cyclodextrin complexes, inclusion complex (1:5) prepared by co-precipitation method showed better release. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm.
