The silica-based mesoporous materials were synthesized under normal atmospheric with Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) as surfactant, TEOS as silica source and hydrochloric acid as activator. The pore sizes distribution of mesoporous materials were adjusted by organic assistant reagent TMB(1,3,5-three toluol).The materials after and before TMB addition were characterized through XRD and IR. The results showed that the materials have regular hexagonal mesoporous structure. The structure is more regular and pore size is more bigger after TMB added.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is considered to form major component of bones and teeth. Synthesis of hydroxyapatite (Calcium phosphate, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) was carried out to produce nano powders. The size and shape of nano particles was controlled during synthesis by using templates of Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB). A cationic surfactant, CTAB creates micellar structures which would act as nano reactors for the synthesis of nano scale HA. Yield of the final product has also been examined by varying the surfactant concentration. X-ray diffraction data revealed characteristic peaks of HA, where a predominantly hexagonal lattice structure could be deduced. FTIR was used to observe the various chemical groups present in the product. Scanning electron microscope was used for the characterization of nano particles.

A simple technique of seed-mediated growth has successfully been performed to grow gold nanoplates onto solid substrates. The growth of gold nanoplates have been carried out attemperature of 28-30°C in the presence of a binary surfactant mixture: CTAB (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide) and PVP (poly-vinylpyrrolidone) with their various concentrations. Characterizations of the samples have been carried out by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM.UV-Vis spectra showed that the gold particles have grown with a various geometrical forms, such as spherical and others. XRD results informed that the presence of two peaks at 2θ: 38.195oand 44.393oindicated the gold nanoplates, with their crystal orientation of (111) and (200). FESEM images showed the edge-length size of nanoplates was dominated in the range of 11nm to 50 nm, with various morphologies of nanoplates, such as hexagonal,truncated hexagonal, triangular, square and spherical shapes.

In the present study, a new low-cost bioceramic nanocomposite based on porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant was successfully obtained by a simple chemical co-precipitation. The composition and structure of the HAp-CTAB were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometer, and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis. The capacity of HAp-CTAB nanocomposites to remove the lead ions from aqueous solutions was studied by adsorption batch experiments and proved by Langmuir and Freundlich models. The Pb2+ removal efficiency of HAp-CTAB biocomposite was also confirmed by non-destructive ultrasound studies. The cytotoxicity assays showed that the HAp-CTAB nanocomposites did not induce any significant morphological changes of HeLa cells after 24 h of incubation or other toxic effects. Taken together, our results suggests that the obtained porous HAp-CTAB powder could be used for the decontamination of water polluted with heavy metals, such as Pb2+.

The influences of dispersant type, supersonic time and concentration on the dispersion property of the nano-aluminium powders in glycol water were systematically studied by using Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS),cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium hexa metah posphate(SHMP)as dispersants. During the first stage of the experiments, influences of dispersant type and ultrasonic time with these dispersants were evaluated. The next stage of the study was focused on SHMP concentration. The influence of SHMP concentration was assessed. The results show that with the increasing of ultrasonic time, the dispersion property of nano-aluminum powders first increases and then decreases, and SHMP is the best one. The excellent dispersing condition on the dispersion property of nano-aluminium is: 5g/L SHMP and 50 min ultrasonic vibration.

Objective: The present study highlights the development of a method to synthesize copper nanoparticles (CuNPs).Methods: CuNPs were developed using 0.01 M copper penta sulfate and 0.11 M of ascorbic acid (AA) and 0.03 M of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide solution. The synthesized CuNPs were differentiated through filtration and washed by water (deionized). CuNPs were kept in dialysis bag 70 KD in a 250 mL glass beaker along with distilled water. The assembly was kept on a magnetic stirrer for 24 h at 500 rpm. Then, the dialysis bag containing CuNPs solution was filtered by a filter assembly with 0.2 μm nylon filter. The filtered CuNPs were spray dried with the help of spray drier.Results: The prepared CuNPs were found to be 440 nm with zeta potential of −10 mV and polydispersity index 0.314.Conclusion: The investigation deciphers the promising and material technique to synthesis of CuNPs by methods for synthetic reduction utilizing strategy using AA (0.2 M) and sodium hydroxide (1 M), and Syloid 244FP.
