Synthesis and Characterisation of Nano-Sized Triphenylphosphine Capped bis(4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato) zinc(ll)

Kalia S.B., Sharma M., Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, IN

Present study involves the synthesis of and studies on a nanosized coordinate complex of 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate (4-MPipzcdt) ligand with zinc(II), i.e. Zn(4-MPipzcdt)2, using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) as capping agent. TEM study revealed nanosized particles with size range [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Multifunctional SiO2 nanoparticles

Aslan A., Bozkurt A., Soydan A.M., Ata A., Gebze technical university, TR

In the present work, azole functional silica nanoparticles synthesized and characterized. For the preparation of azole functional SiO2, a two-step method based on hydrolyzed of TEOS was used in this study. The epoxy functional SiO2 [...]

Sustained-release liquisolid compacts of lumenfantrine-artemether as alternate-dayregimen for malaria treatment to improve patient compliance

Nnamani P.O., Ugwu A.A., Ibezim E.C., Kenechukwu F.C., Ogbonna J.D.N., Obitte N.C., Chime S.A., Attama A.A., University of Nigeria, Nsukka, NG

Lumenfantrine-SLN (LUM, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1%w/w)formulated with Precirol-Transcutol (PT) and Tallow fat-Transcutol (TT) at 3:1 contained surfactants (Poloxamer 188, Polysorbate 80 and Solutol HS). PS, ZP, PDI,morphology, EE, interaction study and in vitro drug [...]

Core-shell Silica-coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia

Iqbal Y., Bae H., Hong S., Rhee I., Kyungpook National University, KR

We report the synthesis and characterization of silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles with a core-shell structure for magnetic hyperthermia. The nanoparticles of silica-coated iron oxide were synthesized using the reverse micelle method. The coating of the [...]

Epoxy/Silica Nanocomposite: Effect of Silica Nanoparticles, Thermal Stability, and Modeling of the Curing Kinetics

Rahim Vaseghi M., Arabli V., Aghili A., Islamic Azad University, IR

A nanocomposite was synthesized using silica nanoparticles (SN) and Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin (VE671). Nanoparticles were dispersed in the mixture by ultrasonic equipment to prevent the agglomeration. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to investigate [...]

Characterization of Metal-Based Nanoparticles by Single Particle-ICP-MS in Various Matrices

Stephan C., Hinemaan A., PerkinElmer, CA

The use of nanoparticles in consumer products is showing a tremendous increase over time. The National Institute of Standards and Technologies reported that nanotechnology-based consumer products are currently entering the market at a rate of [...]

Properties of xYSZ nanoparticles and pellets with x varying from 1 to 15%

Suciu C., Dorolti E., Hoffmann A.C., University of Bergen, NO

Nanoparticles of oxides are used, among other things, for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), where the use of yttria-stabilized zirconina nanoparticles in the inner region of the anode will increase the extent of the "triple-phase [...]

Synthesis of Nanostructured Calcium Silicate Hydrates

Kumar A., Scrivener K., Bowen P., LTP, EPFL, Switzerland, CH

Cementitious material contribute to about 5-8% of total world Carbon emission per year. Calcium Silicate Hydrates (C-S-H) is the main product of hydrated Portland cements. A better understanding of its kinetics, growth mechanism and atomic [...]

Morphology and Size Control of Mesoporous ORMOSIL Particles

Jung G.I., Kim J-S, Koo S.M., Hanyang University, KR

Mesoporous ORMOSIL particles with tailored morphology and/or controlled size were prepared by a simple two-step process. The first step, synthesis of monodisperse ORMOSIL particles with multi-layered structure, involved a one-pot process in an aqueous solution [...]

Synthesis of Coaxial CoFe2O4 – (K0.5Na0.5 )NbO3 Nanotubes by Sol-gel Technique Using Inexpensive Templates

Chitra Lekha C.S., Rasi M., Aravind P.B., Anantharaman M.R., Nair S.S., Central University of kerala, IN

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, one of the most intriguing aspects of multiferroics, may arise directly between two or more ferroic orders as in single phase multiferroics or indirectly via strain. Strain intermediate ME coupling requires intimate [...]
