This study investigates the influence of various nanofillers of different shapes and sizes on the properties of PET nanocomposites. PET was reinforced with 0.3 wt.% of different nanoreinforcements, namely: (i) 1D platelet-like shape of organo-modified layered silicates (montmorillonite) (platelet size approx. 1 x 200 nm) with average agglomerate size of: (a) 30 μm and (b) 8 μm; (ii) 3D spherical shape particles of titanium oxide with an average size of 21 nm and (iii) 3D spherical shape silica with an average particle size of 12 nm. PET nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending in an asymmetric batch minimixer followed by compression moulding process. The effect of nanofillers upon thermal, mechanical and structural properties in comparison to the neat PET are discussed.

AbstractIn this work, the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by two variant chemical coprecipitation methods that involve reflux and aging conditions was investigated. The influence of the synthesis conditions on particle size, morphology, magnetic properties and protein adsorption were studied. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles showed a spherical shape with an average particle size directly influenced by the synthesis technique. Particles of average size 27 nm and 200 nm were obtained. When the coprecipitation method was used without reflux and aging, the smallest particles were obtained. Magnetite nanoparticles obtained from both methods exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior and their saturation magnetization was particle size dependent. Values of 67 and 78 emu g−1 were obtained for the 27 nm and 200 nm magnetite particles, respectively. The nanoparticles were coated with silica, aminosilane, and silica-aminosilane shell. The influence of the coating on protein absorption was studied using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

This study was carried out to prepare and characterize domperidone nanoparticles to enhance solubility and the release rate. Domperidone is practically insoluble in water and has low and an erratic bioavailability range from 13%-17%. The domperidone nanoparticles were prepared by solvent/antisolvent precipitation method at different polymer:drug ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 using different polymers and grades of poly vinyl pyrolidone, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizers. The effect of polymer type, ratio of polymer:drug, solvent:antisolvent ratio, stirring rate and stirring time on the particle size, were investigated and found to have a significant (p? 0.05) effect on particle size. The best formula was obtained with lowest average particle size of 84.05. This formula was studied for compatibility by FTIR and DSC, surface morphology by FESEM and crystalline state by XRPD. Then domperidone nanoparticles were formulated into a simple capsule dosage form in order to study of the in vitro release of drug from nanoparticles in comparison raw drug and mixture of polymer:drug ratios of 2:1. The release of domperidone from best formula was highly improved with a significant (p? 0.05) increase.

The work to be detailed in this paper is our development of 96.5mass%Sn-3.0mass%Ag-0.5mass%Cu fine solder particles with an average particle size of under 3um (D50), using a chemical reduction method. An evaluation was conducted on the properties of the particles. The average size of particles appeared to be under 3um with a higher yield compared to particles using the conventional gas atomization method. The melting temperature of fine solder particles using this method was its eutectic temperature, which is same as using the gas–atomized particles. 120um pitch solder bumps from the solder paste using the above mentioned fine solder particles were created on the substrate. As a result of property evaluation, it was turned out that the solder paste created a superior printing shape and coplanarity compared to the conventional paste with gas-atomized particles. In order to investigate the superior printing property generated by the paste with fine solder particles, the rheology of the paste was evaluated.It was verified that the anisotropic shape of particles has contributed to prevent the printed paste from slumping, which has resulted in the improvement of printed shape. It also shows that the filling characteristic of the paste was improved by the smaller particles and the better coplanarity was observed. The importance of finer solder particles for finer pitch assembly will be presented.

Cerium-doped ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized through hydrothermal method. The nanoparticles were stabilized using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as surfactant in aqueous solution. The average particle size of the prepared samples is about 2 nm. The structure of the as-prepared ZnS nanoparticles is cubic (zinc blende) as demonstrated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis. TEM results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in the HMTA matrix without aggregation. The UV–Vis absorption spectra of the prepared ZnS nanoparticles show a considerable blueshift in the absorption band edge compared to bulk ZnS indicating a strong quantum confinement effect. Formation of HMTA-capped ZnS nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR studies. Photoluminescence studies showed that the relative emission intensity of Ce3+ -doped ZnS nanoparticles is higher than that of undoped ZnS nanoparticles, which is due to the enhancement of radiative recombination in the luminescence process. The PL spectra showed two emission peaks at around 420 nm and 442 nm, which may be attributed to deep-trap emission or defect-related emission of ZnS and presence of various surface states.
