CaCO3 has six polymorphs such as vaterite, aragonite, calcite, amorphous, crystalline monohydrate, and hexahydrate CaCO3. CaCO3 is a typical biomineral that is abundant in both organisms and nature and has important industrial applications. Cellulose could be used as feedstocks for producing biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and high value-added bio-based materials. In the past, more attentions have been paid to the synthesis and applications of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites due to its relating properties such as mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, and bioactivity, and potential applications including biomedical, antibacterial, and water pretreatment fields as functional materials. A variety of synthesis methods such as the hydrothermal/solvothermal method, biomimetic mineralization method, microwave-assisted method, (co-) precipitation method, and sonochemistry method, were employed to the preparation of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites. In this chapter, the recent development of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites has been reviewed. The synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites are summarized. The future developments of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites are also suggested.

The interconnection of nanotechnology and medicine could lead to improved materials, offering a better quality of life and new opportunities for biomedical applications, moving from research to clinical applications. Magnetite nanoparticles are interesting magnetic nanomaterials because of the property-depending methods chosen for their synthesis. Magnetite nanoparticles can be coated with various materials, resulting in “core/shell” magnetic structures with tunable properties. To synthesize promising materials with promising implications for biomedical applications, the researchers functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with silica and, thanks to the presence of silanol groups, the functionality, biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity were improved. This review highlights the most important synthesis methods for silica-coated with magnetite nanoparticles. From the presented methods, the most used was the Stöber method; there are also other syntheses presented in the review, such as co-precipitation, sol-gel, thermal decomposition, and the hydrothermal method. The second part of the review presents the main applications of magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures. Magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures have promising biomedical applications in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a contrast agent, hyperthermia, drug delivery systems, and selective cancer therapy but also in developing magnetic micro devices.

Pulsed Mixing

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles and nanorods were synthesized by precipitation from saturated sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate aqueous solutions through co precipitation method. A new rout of synthesis was done by both using pulsed mixing method and controlling the addition of calcium nitrate. The effect of the agitation speed, and the temperature on particle size and morphology were investigated. Particles were characterized using X-ray Microanalysis, X-ray analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that increasing the mixer rotation speed from 3425 to 15900 (rpm) decreases the average particle size to 64±7 nm. A rapid nucleation then aggregation induced by excessive shear force phenomena could explain this observation. Moreover, by increasing the reaction temperature, the products were converted from nanoparticle to nanorods. The maximum attainable aspect ratio was 6.23 at temperature of 75°C and rotation speed of 3425. Generally, temperature raise promoted a significant homoepitaxial growth in one direction toward the formation of calcite nanorods. Overall, this study can open new avenues to control the morphology of the calcium carbonate nanostructures.

This research is about nanoparticles hematite (NPH) synthesized and characterized from natural iron sands using co-precipitation method and its potential applications as extrinsic semiconductor materials type-N. The aims of this study is to determine the process parameters to obtain hematite of high purity degree and to observe its physical characteristics as an extrinsic semiconductor materials type-N. The iron sand was first separated by magnetic technique and then dissolved into HCl solution before conducting the precipitation process. Precipitation was done by dripping ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). Precipitated powder was dried at 80°C for 2 hours, and then calcined at 500°C, 600°C 700°C for 2 hours respectively. The composition of iron sands, purity degree, hematite mineral grain size, and space group were analyzed by XRF, XRD, FTIR and SEM. The XRF analysis result of raw material, showed that dominant element and composition in the sample is Fe with purity degree is 90.51%. The XRD result before and after precipitation showed Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3. Fe3O4 purity degree was obtained 85%, and α-Fe2O3 in NPH500, NPH600, NPH700 were 63%, 83%, and 76%, respectively. FTIR spectral showed crystalline hematite characteristics stong band of 472.07 to 559.62 cm-1. SEM image showed the morphology of agglomeration particulates, when the calcinaton temperature increases, the agglomeration will be seperated due to thermal energy. Based on the charaterization results it was found that the natural iron sand synthesized has the potential to be applied as an N-type extrinsic semiconductor material.

Spherical YAG:Ce3+phosphors were synthesized by three different routes namely sol-gel method, co-precipitation method and solvethermal method. The microstructure, crystallization and luminescent properties of the phosphors were studied in order to find the best processing parameter for spherical shape and good luminescence properties of YAG:Ce3+phosphor. Adding citric acid to the precursor solution resulted in the formation of spherical particles in sol-gel method. YAG:Ce3+phosphor made by co-precipitation method was separated with PEG2000, and its spherical particles of size was around 500nm. The hydro-thermal method could get perfect spherical appearance, but it needed heat treatment improve the luminescence property.

AbstractIon beam processing, including ion implantation and ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD), are established surface modification techniques which have been used successfully to synthesize materials for a wide variety of tribological applications. In spite of the flexibility and promise of the technique, ion beam processing has been considered too expensive for mass production applications. However, an emerging technology, Plasma Source Ion Implantation (PSII), has the potential of overcoming these limitations to become an economically viable tool for mass industrial applications. In PSII, targets are placed directly in a plasma and then pulsed-biased to produce a non-line-of-sight process for intricate target geometries without complicated fixturing. If the bias is a relatively high negative potential (20-100kV) ion implantation will result. At lower voltages (50-1200V), deposition occurs. Potential applications for PSII are in low-value-added products such as tools used in manufacturing, orthopedic devices, and the production of wear coatings for hard disk media. This paper will focus on the technology and materials science associated with PSII.

Mechanical activation and mechanochemical reactions are the subjects of mechanochemistry, a special branch of chemistry studied intensively since the 19th century. Herein, we comparably describe two synthesis methods used to obtain the following layered double hydroxide doped with cerium, Mg3Al0.75Ce0.25(OH)8(CO3)0.5·2H2O: the mechanochemical route and the co-precipitation method, respectively. The influence of the preparation method on the physico-chemical properties as determined by multiple techniques such as XRD, SEM, EDS, XPS, DRIFT, RAMAN, DR-UV-VIS, basicity, acidity, real/bulk densities, and BET measurements was also analyzed. The obtained samples, abbreviated HTCe-PP (prepared by co-precipitation) and HTCe-MC (prepared by mechanochemical method), and their corresponding mixed oxides, Ce-PP (resulting from HTCe-PP) and Ce-MC (resulting from HTCe-MC), were used as base catalysts in the self-condensation reaction of cyclohexanone and two Claisen–Schmidt condensations, which involve the reaction between an aromatic aldehyde and a ketone, at different molar ratios to synthesize compounds with significant biologic activity from the flavonoid family, namely chalcone (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) and flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1benzoxiran-4-one). The mechanochemical route was shown to have indisputable advantages over the co-precipitation method for both the catalytic activity of the solids and the costs.

In this paper, we report results on the fabrication and magnetic properties of spinel ferrite Mn1-xZnxFe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The effects of substituting Zn for Mn on the magnetic properties and particles size were focused. It was found that the phase-formation temperature is 90OC and the average particle size decreases from 40 nm to 10 nm when increased Zn concentration from zero to 0.8. The Curie temperature TC strongly decreases from 585 K (x = 0) to 320 K (x = 0.8) concomitantly with a decrease of the saturation magnetization MS. With a TC of 320 K and MS of 17 emu/g, the x=0.8 sample could be a promising candidate for some biomedical applications.

The miniaturisation of electronic components required for many devices involves an increase their volumic efficiency. This work focus on the size reduction of capacitors. They are two ways for increasing the capacity of such passive components. One is to find materials with high permittivity, the other is to reduce the thickness of the films used in multilayers ceramics. Barium titanate, BaTiO3 (BT) nanoparticles were sintered using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) because the material presents interesting properties when obtained by SPS [1–3]. In this case, very unusual interesting dielectric properties, a so called “colossal” permittivity value up to several thousands. Moreover, no temperature dependence is observed. However, the values of dielectric losses are too high to consider industrial applications. In order to reduce these dielectric losses, different approaches have been proposed to control the chemistry of grain boundaries. We present here the structural, microstructural and electrical properties of ceramics sintered by SPS from BaTiO3 powders elaborated by co-precipitation method. Different routes tested to improve the dielectric properties of the ceramics are presented and discussed. On the other side, thick films of BT have been prepared. The objective of this work was to develop a BaTiO3 material having an accurate particle size to reduce the thickness of sintered films down to 1 μm. The rheological properties of the slurry have been optimized and, thanks to a suitable tape casting process, homogeneous thin films of 1 μm thickness could be obtained. Some properties of the films are described.

The objective of this study is to prepare biodegradable iron oxide nanoparticles with gelatin (GEL) for paclitaxel (PTX) delivery. In detail, Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared and then coated them with GEL (Fe3O4@GEL) conjugate by co–precipitation method. Furthermore, the formation of Fe3O4@GEL was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) and powder X–ray diffraction (XRD). The superparamagnetic property of Fe3O4@GEL was also showed by hysteresis loop analysis, the saturation magnetization reached 20.36 emu.g–1. In addition, size and morphology of Fe3O4@GEL nanoparticles were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that Fe3O4@GEL nanoparticles were spherical shape with average diameter of 10 nm. Especially, PTX was effectively loaded into the coated magnetic nanoparticles, 86.7 ± 3.2 % for drug loading efficiency and slowly released up to 5 days. These results suggest that the potential applications of Fe3O4@GEL nanoparticles in the development of stable drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.

Cellulose nanomaterials from plant fibre provide various potential applications (i.e., biomedical, automotive, packaging, etc.). The biomedical application of nanocellulose isolated from plant fibre, which is a carbohydrate-based source, is very viable in the 21st century. The essential characteristics of plant fibre-based nanocellulose, which include its molecular, tensile and mechanical properties, as well as its biodegradability potential, have been widely explored for functional materials in the preparation of aerogel. Plant cellulose nano fibre (CNF)-based aerogels are novel functional materials that have attracted remarkable interest. In recent years, CNF aerogel has been extensively used in the biomedical field due to its biocompatibility, renewability and biodegradability. The effective surface area of CNFs influences broad applications in biological and medical studies such as sustainable antibiotic delivery for wound healing, the preparation of scaffolds for tissue cultures, the development of drug delivery systems, biosensing and an antimicrobial film for wound healing. Many researchers have a growing interest in using CNF-based aerogels in the mentioned applications. The application of cellulose-based materials is widely reported in the literature. However, only a few studies discuss the potential of cellulose nanofibre aerogel in detail. The potential applications of CNF aerogel include composites, organic–inorganic hybrids, gels, foams, aerogels/xerogels, coatings and nano-paper, bioactive and wound dressing materials and bioconversion. The potential applications of CNF have rarely been a subject of extensive review. Thus, extensive studies to develop materials with cheaper and better properties, high prospects and effectiveness for many applications are the focus of the present work. The present review focuses on the evolution of aerogels via characterisation studies on the isolation of CNF-based aerogels. The study concludes with a description of the potential and challenges of developing sustainable materials for biomedical applications.
