Bone hemostatic biomaterials were prepared with different compositions of rice starch (RS) powder and glycerin-base soap. The glycerin soap was composed of liquid glycerol:KOH:stearic acid by aqueous solution method. RS powders (10, 20, 40, and 60 wt %) was added to the purified glycerin soap. The physical properties and degradation of the obtained samples were evaluated. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), degree of swelling (DS), moisture content and degradation. An addition of RS powder increased absorbability property, the smoothness, whiteness and could be smear easily on the surface. The results of optimized condition have shown the samples of 20 wt% RS powder had the highest DS of 0.91 ± 0.25 for 90 minutes, the moisture content of 0.43 ± 0.21 % and the degradability of 69.95± 1.50 % for 48 hours. Our results concluded that the samples were sufficient physical properties for use as substitute, and more degradable than bone wax.

ZnO were rapidly synthesized using different zinc salts (Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2, ZnCl2and ZnSO4) by an aqueous solution method at 90°C. The products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the anions have remarkable effects on the morphologies of ZnO. When Zn(NO3)2, Zn(CH3CO2)2or ZnCl2was used, ZnO was obtained with ellipsoidal, under-developed ellipsoidal and nano-particles morphologies, respectively. In the case of ZnSO4, layered basic zinc sulfate was obtained. The remarkable effects of anions on ZnO can be ascribed to the adsorption of the anions on the surface of ZnO, which hinders the further growth of ZnO nuclei. The effect of SO42-was further investigated by changing the mole ratio of SO42-to NO3-.

A facile and green method was utilized to synthesize core-shelled Zn / ZnO microspheres by boiling Zn microparticles in water for improving the photocatalytic activity of ZnO . The synthesized Zn / ZnO core-shells were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and photoluminescence spectrometer, respectively. The morphology analysis showed that the metallic Zn core was about 6 μm in diameter while the ZnO shell was about 600 nm in thickness. Compared to ZnO nanoparticles, the core-shelled Zn / ZnO microspheres exhibited improved photocatalytic activity in degrading methyl orange in water. Our results suggest that the metal–semiconductor junction formed at the Zn / ZnO interface is responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO .

Nano-hexaferrite SrFe12O19 has been prepared using the aqueous solution method. The structure and magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 have systematically been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermo gravimetric (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), as well as Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The XRD and TEM results showed that the samples are composed of SrFe12O19 nano-particles which are on average 70×50nm in dimensions when treated at 1200°C for 2 hours. The magnetic properties indicated that the saturation magnetization and the intrinsic coercivity were 48 Am2/kg and 506KA/m, respectively. The aqueous solution method is generally applicable to produce the nano-hexaferrite SrFe12O19 and is proved to be a promising method for fast synthesis of nanometer materials using nitrate.

The chitosan (CH) coatings on a Ti13Zr13Nb alloy substrate were obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The EPD yield was investigated under different deposition conditions. The microstructure of the CH coatings obtained by cataphoresis was studied by scanning electron microscopy and the chemical composition was examined using EDAX. The functional groups and formed phases were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. It was found that the CH coating thickness and porosity can be controlled by time and voltage used for the EPD process. It was ascertained that the studied EPD of the natural biopolymer, chitosan, in aqueous solution is applicable for the surface modification of the Ti13Zr13Nb implants to develop novel bioactive coatings.

The aim of this paper was to enhance paper strength in NaOH/thiourea aqueous solution at room temperature. Paper from cotton pulp was saturated with room temperature NaOH/thiourea aqueous solution and placed at a fixed temperature (8, 15, and 20 °C) for a period of time (1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h). The morphology, X-ray diffraction (XRD), mechanical properties, and density of paper were characterized. The results indicated the paper was self-reinforced. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs indicated that the structure of the treated papers was increasingly compact with decreasing temperature. The XRD results showed that the crystallinity degree of the paper decreased from 80.0% to 60.0%. The stress at break of the treated papers increased by more than fivefold. The wet tensile strength of the treated papers increased remarkably.

Phenolic compounds areorganic pollutants that are toxic and carcinogenic.The presence of phenol in the environmentcan be adverse to humanand the environmentalsystem. One methodthat iseffective toreduce thephenolisadsorption. In this study, the adsorption of phenol in aqueous solution using Ca-bentonite/chitosan composite was investigated. Chitosan is the deacetylation product of chitin from shrimp waste. Characterization of Ca-bentonite/chitosan composite was done by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Batch adsorption studies were performed to evaluate the effects of some parameters such as initial concentration of phenol, composite weight, pH and contact time. The results showed that FTIR spectra of Ca-bentonite/chitosan composite presented the characteristic of peak of Ca-bentonite and chitosan that confirmed the successful synthesis of composite. The SEM-EDX characterizationresultsshowedCa-bentonite surfacecoverage by chitosanand the presence ofcarbonandnitrogenelementsinCa-bentonite/chitosancompositeindicated that chitosan had bonded with bentonite. The optimum condition of adsorption of Ca-bentonite/chitosan to phenol was obtained at 125 mg.L-1 of concentration in which the weight of composite was 1.0 g, the pH of solution was 7, the contact time was 30 minutes, and the capacity of adsorption was 12.496 mg.g-1.

ABSTRACTThis work describes the study of synthesis and physical characterization of nanostructured manganite oxides. The La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) nanotubes and fibers have been prepared by electrospinning and pore wetting technique. The samples were characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and magnetization as a function of temperature (M(T)). XRD results of LSM fibers and nanotubes revealed that both samples crystallize in a rhombohedra-distorted perovskite structure. SEM pictures of these samples revealed ultrafine grains assembled in fibers and nanotubes samples. Analysis of these images revealed samples with external diameter ranging from 300 to 1.4 mm, and 7 μm to hundreds of mm in length. The M(T) measurements of samples La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 revealed a paramagnetic/ferromagnetic transition with decreasing temperature. Such transition occurs at temperatures of Tc ≈ 337 K and Tc ≈ 360 K for the nanotubes and fibers, respectively. Furthermore, this variation of the Tc values is also reported in literature for other manganite nanostructures. Such variation can be related to the microstructural characteristics observed for both LSM samples produced in this work. In general, it is believed that both methodologies allowed the production of nanostructures LSM. Also, these results suggest that the dimensionality of the samples seems to interfere in the physical properties of LSM manganite.

AbstractNanosized NiO2 particles with an average diameter of 15 nm are prepared by treating of Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O with an aqueous solution of KClO in the presence of Triton® X-100. This black fine powder of nickel peroxide was characterized by XRD diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The as-prepared NiO2 can be easily transformed to nanosized NiO merely by washing it with acetone. The obtained NiO has an average diameter of 40 nm and was characterized by the same means used for NiO2. The nanoparticles of NiO2 and NiO were obtained in high yields and purities.
