zinc oxide (zno) nanopowders were synthesized by the sol–gel method from an ethanol solution of zinc sulfate heptahydrate in the presence of diethylene glycol surfactant. detailed structural and microstructural investigations were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem), fourier tra...

Cd1-xMnxS (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) nanoparticles, prepared by co-precipitation method under ultrasonic irradiation, were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR and UV-Vis  spectroscopy measurements. The average particle size of nanoparticles from the scanning electron microscopy image is about 20-30 nm. Results show that partial substitution of Cd by Mn leads to a re...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

This article contains original experimental data, figures and methods to the preparation of non-isocyanate poly(hydroxyurethanes) by an environmentally friendly method without the use of toxic phosgene and isocyanates from bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)ether dicarbonate and various diamines (Tryznowski et al., Submitted for publication) [1]. Bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)ether dicarbonate was obtained from...

In this paper, we report a new method to prepare the polymer/inorganic nanoparticle composites using electron irradiation-induced polymerization. The mixture of nanoparticles and MMA solution were co-irradiated by 1.6 MeV electron beam to a dose of 10, 20 and 30 kGy at a dose-rate of 60 kGy/h in air at room temperature. The products after irradiation were extracted using a soxhlet extractor wit...

A lignocellulose/montmorillonite (LMT) nanocomposite was prepared as a reusable adsorbent for cobalt(II) ions, and characterized by nitrogen (N₂) adsorption/desorption isotherm, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). LMT exhibited efficient adsorption of cobalt ions (Co(II)), and th...

The spread of contagious diseases and the increase in the drug resistance amongst pathogens has enforced the researchers to synthesize biologically active nanoparticles. Development of eco-friendly practice for the synthesis of nanoparticles is growing bit by bit in the field of nano-biotechnology. The present investigation outlines the development of a method to biosynthesize copper nanopartic...

We demonstrated a facile and environmental-friendly approach to form gold nanoparticles through the reduction of HAuCl4 by aspartame. The single-crystalline structure was illustrated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results indicated that aspartame played a pivotal role in ...

In the present study, silver nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesized using broth of red algae Hypnea musciformis as reductant by a simple and eco-friendly route. The synthesized SNPs have been well characterized by using various analytical techniques, Zeta potential, Transmission Electron microscopic (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR and further confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS)....
