Nano-Cu2O has wide application prospects in the fields of chemical industry and engineering due to its special optical, electrical and catalytic properties. The nano-particles with different morphological structure and particle size have different physical-chemical properties and different application fields. Therefore, this article reviewed the preparation methods of Nano-Cu2O at high/room temperature and the key point of its morphology control.

Metal nanostructured materials, with many excellent and unique physical and mechanical properties compared to macroscopic bulk materials, have been widely used in the fields of electronics, bioimaging, sensing, photonics, biomimetic biology, information, and energy storage. It is worthy of noting that most of these applications require the use of nanostructured metals with specific controlled properties, which are significantly dependent on a series of physical parameters of its characteristic size, geometry, composition, and structure. Therefore, research on low-cost preparation of metal nanostructures and controlling of their characteristic sizes and geometric shapes are the keys to their development in different application fields. The preparation methods, physical and chemical properties, and application progress of metallic nanostructures are reviewed, and the methods for characterizing metal nanostructures are summarized. Finally, the future development of metallic nanostructure materials is explored.

Abstract Three novel soluble copolymers of poly(3-penthylthiophene) [P(3PT)] and poly(3-phosphate diethyl 3-thienylmethyl) [P(3FT)] of different molar ratios of co-mers (3:1, 1:1 and 1:3) have been chemically synthesised. The final copolymers were obtained by functionalisation of poly(3-penthylthiophene-co-3-bromomethylthiophene) [P(3PT-co-3BT)] copolymers, because P(3FT) monomer does not couple in position 2-5′ of the copolymers. The structure and physical-chemical properties of resulting polymer was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), visible and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence and direct current (DC) measurements. By changing the molar ratios of monomers during synthesis we can “tailor” the photoemission of resulting copolymers. The room temperature conductivity distinctly increases after doping by electrons’ acceptor. The polymers studied are good candidates for potential commercial applications.

Abstract In recent years, PLGA micro/nano particle drug delivery systems has been widely used in cancer treatment. According to the unique properties of PLGA, carriers of various structures are designed to keep the function of drugs or bioactive substances, ensure the effective load of molecules and improve the bioavailability of drugs in diseased parts. PLGA is one of the earliest and most commonly used biodegradable materials. It is often used for functional modification with other polymers (such as polyethylene glycol and chitosan) or other molecules (such as aptamers and ligands) to deliver various small molecule drugs (such as DOX and DTX) and bioactive macromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) to improve targeting, controlled release and therapeutic properties. In this paper, the preparation methods, physical and chemical properties and medical applications of PLGA micro/nano particles are discussed. We focused on the recent research progress of the PLGA-based drug carrier system in tumor combination therapy.

Bimetallic nanoparticles of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) were synthesized at room temperature using Curcumin. Reduction process of silver and gold ions with different molar ratios leads to production of different nanostructures including alloys and core-shells. Produced nanoparticles were characterized simultaneously with FTIR, UV/vis. spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX). UV/vis. optical absorption spectra of as synthesized nanoparticles reveals presence of surface palsmon resonance (SPR) of both silver at (425 nm) and gold at (540 nm) with small shift and broadness of gold band after mixing with resucing and capping agent in natural extract which suggest presence of bimetallic nano structure (Au/Ag). FTIR and EDAX data approve the presence of bimetallic nano structure combined with curcumin extract. TEM micrographs shows that silver and gold can be synthesized separately in the form of nano particles using curcumin extract. Synthesis of gold nano particles in presence of silver effectively enhance and control formation of bi-metallic structure.

Abstract The concent rat ions of hexachloroethane (HCE), hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD), pentachlorobenzene (QCB), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and octachlorostyrene (OCS) in large volume water samples show that the major sources of these chemicals to the St. Clair River are Dow Chemical Company effluents and, to a lesser degree, Sarnia’s Township ditch which drains one of Dow’s waste disposal sites. Tributaries entering the river on both sides of the Canada/United States border contain measurable concentrations of these chemicals indicating low level contamination throughout the area. The degree of water/suspended sediment partitioning of the chemicals (Kp) was studied. Kp values for the individual chemicals changed in a manner consistent with changes in their physical-chemical properties.

Crystallization is a significant process employed to produce a wide variety of materials in pharmaceutical and food area. The control of crystal dimension, crystallinity, and shape is very important because they will affect the subsequent filtration, drying and grinding performance as well as the physical and chemical properties of the material. This review summarizes the special features of crystallization technology and the preparation methods of nanocrystals, and discusses analytical technology which is used to control crystal quality and performance. The crystallization technology applications in pharmaceutics and foods are also outlined. These illustrated examples further help us to gain a better understanding of the crystallization technology for pharmaceutics and foods.
