The spherical hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP) were synthesized by hydro-thermal method, and calcium nitrate, terbium oxide, diammonium hydrogen phosphate were used as raw materials with the help of surfactant L-Asparagine. Meanwhile, different amount of Tb was added to investigate the effect of different terbium dropping amount on the properties of HAP. The structure, morphology and luminescent of the obtained HAP that was characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fluorescence spectrometer (PL) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results showed that spherical HAP which in average of 30 nm with good dispersion showed remarkable fluorescent properties and their maximum emission were observed at 543 nm, which could be also excited at uv light region of 377 nm.The optimum mole fraction of Tb was 3%. Therefore terbium-doped spherical HAP of prepared sample would be tracked by flourescence.

Cadmium sulfide nanorods with a length of 69 nm have been prepared by using Cd(OAc)2.2H2O and S8 at 125 °C in the presence of triethylenetetramine as the template agent and coordination agent and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, photoluminescence, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopic techniques. Photocopolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and sodium acrylate (SA) was carried out using CdS nanorods as a photocatalyst under UV light exposure at 400 nm in the presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). To optimization of the effective parameters on the synthesis of copolymer nanocomposite, the amounts of initiator, monomers, and β-CD, duration of pre-deoxygenation, and light wavelength were evaluated. Ring opening of poly(GMA-co-SA)/CdS nanocomposite with NaN3 afforded poly(HAzPMA-co-SA)/CdS nanocomposite and subsequent mixing with RDX in DMF led to the formation of poly(HAzPMA-co-SA)/RDX/CdS nanocomposite as a polymer bonded explosive. All of the copolymer nanocomposites were characterized using various tools of instrumental analysis.

Because of the low refractive indices, plate-like cerium phosphates (CePs) are expected to be used as one of active ingredients in personal suncare cosmetics. Plate-like Ce2(PO4)2HPO4・H2O particles were synthesized via solvothermal reactions of Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6 or Ce(SO4)2・4H2O in phosphoric acid with or without nitric acid and sulfuric acid solutions. The variation of morphology of Ce2(PO4)2HPO4・H2O particles significantly depended on the variety of cerium salt, isothermal temperature and time, although all reaction products consisted of plate-like particles. This plate-like compound showed excellent UV light absorption and transparency in the visible light region. Consequently, it is suggested that the plate-like Ce2(PO4)2HPO4・H2O particles might be used as suncare products to give an ideal optical effect of both UV-shielding ability and transparency in the visible light region, as well as a good feeling on the skin.

ABSTRACTCdS host nanocrystals with 4.2-5.5 nm in diameter have been synthesized from air stable precursors via a synthetic chemical route and doped with rare earth (RE) terbium (Tb3+) and ytterbium (Yb3+) ions. RE3+-doped CdS cores were shelled by ZnS layers of different thicknesses. The resulting core/shell nanocrystals show a complete broadband absorption below 400-460 nm to the deep UV region depending on the size of the cores. RE3+-doped CdS nanocrystals showed a red shift in the emission as observed under irradiation of 302 nm UV light and was confirmed by room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The nanocrystals were further characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. The results show that these RE3+-doped nanocrystals can be used as solar spectral matching downconversion material to enhance photovoltaic efficiency of existing solar cells.

We developed a novel method for the synthesis of Au nanoclusters (NCs) silica fluorescent composite nanospheres by mixing the as-prepared bovine serum albumin (BSA) protected Au NCs with amino-modified silica spheres in acetate buffer solution. The products were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fluorescent microscope imaging (FLMI), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The proposed method was simple, efficient, and inexpensive. In addition, the composite nanospheres exhibited favorable water-dispersible, stable, and fluorescent properties, potentially leading to further applications in chemical and biological sensors. A reasonable mechanism was also proposed for the formation of composite nanospheres.

ABSTRACT A latent virus-like agent, which we designated zooxanthella filamentous virus 1 (ZFV1), was isolated from Symbiodinium sp. strain CCMP 2465 and characterized. Transmission electron microscopy and analytical flow cytometry revealed the presence of a new group of distinctive filamentous virus-like particles after exposure of the zooxanthellae to UV light. Examination of thin sections of the zooxanthellae revealed the formation and proliferation of filamentous virus-like particles in the UV-induced cells. Assessment of Symbiodinium sp. cultures was used here as a model to show the effects of UV irradiance and induction of potential latent viruses. The unique host-virus system described here provides insight into the role of latent infections in zooxanthellae through environmentally regulated viral induction mechanisms.

In this paper, employing Cu(AC)2•H2O, SnCl2•2H2O and thiourea as raw materials, the composites of graphene/Cu2SnS3 quantum dots (QDs) were prepared simply and quickly using the hydrothermal method. Meanwhile, the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs were also synthesized in the same way. The as-obtained Cu2SnS3 QDs and composites’ phase structures were analyzed and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the results indicated that the size of the Cu2SnS3 QDs in the composites were less than that of the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs. At the same time, their morphologies were also observed and cross-confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the measurements manifested that Cu2SnS3 QDs were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the graphene, while the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs have obvious glomeration. In addition to this, elemental analysis was also made to verify the existence of Cu2SnS3 on the surface of graphene.

Pr-CeO2 nano-size powders with the average crystallites size of 12 nm and particle size of 18 nm were prepared by a co-precipitation-hydrothermal method using Ce(NO3)3·6H2O, Pr6O11 as raw materials and ammonia as the precipitation agent. The influence of hydrothermal treatment time, hydrothermal treatment temperature on the average crystallites size, color of powders and the solubility of praseodymium were investigated. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and color measurements. Results showed that after calcining at 800°C for 4 hours, the color of the as-prepared powder changes from light red to red brown, the solubility of praseodymium and the crystallites size of the Pr-CeO2 powder both increase.

Characterization of dolomite samples from Bone Bolango, Gorontalo Province have been performed with the objective to find out their mineralogical and chemical compositions. Observation and mineral analyses were carried out by means of microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods respectively; whereas chemical composition was determined by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Result of XRD analysis shows that samples contain dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2], calcite [CaCO3] and [SiO2]. The proportion of dolomite is about 60.4% in average and its presence is as replacement of calcite in bioclast components and matrices in the rock. Dolomite crystals are characterized by mosaic texture with euhedral – subhedral in shapes. Spacially, dolomite content increase from west to the east of study area. The XRF analysis reveals that dolomite samples contain MgO ranging between 8.07 and 20.78% while CaO ranges between 30.04 and 56.13%. The SiO2 concentration ranges from 3.50 – 7.55%; whereas Al2O3 ranges from 1.07 – 1.84%. The average MgO content of dolomite about 12.89% can be categorized as calcium dolomite. Dolomite within the study area can be used directly in agriculture sector, but it less suitable as raw materials in glass, ceramic and refractory industries because the average content of MgO is less than 17%. However, it can be increased of their MgO with the application of selective mining or beneficiation process.
