in this research work, we report a simple method called reflux condensation method for synthesizing co3o4 nanoparticles using cheap chemicals such as, cobalt acetate (precursor salt), sodium monododecyl sulphate - sds (surfactant) and n, n - dimethylformamide - dmf (solvent). the prepared materials were heat treated at 200, 400, 600 and 800 oc for each 2 h to get phase pure product. the calcine...

purpose: to compare the optical properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses (iols) containing uv-absorber and to determine their chemical composition. methods: optical properties of different foldable hydrophilic and hydrophobic as well as non-foldable hydrophobic polymethylmetacrylate (pmma) iols were evaluated in three powers of 15, 22 and 25 diopters. optical properties were...

The authors compare the effects of vacuum ultraviolet VUV irradiation on pristine and UV-cured low-k porous organosilicate glass SiCOH . The authors find that during VUV irradiation, more trapped charges are generated in UV-cured SiCOH as compared to pristine SiCOH. VUV is also used as a tool to investigate effects of UV curing. From comparison of VUV spectroscopy and photoinjection current of ...

The synthesis of 8-azido-2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-triphosphate is described. The photoreactive dATP analog was characterized by thin layer chromatography, proton resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy. Its photolysis upon UV irradiation was studied. After incorporation of this dATP analog into DNA containing the tet operator sequence the investigation of the interactions ...

NASA’s Stardust mission flew through the coma of comet Wild 2 in January 2004, capturing dust grains as it did so. The grains were returned safely to Earth in January 2006, and are in the process of being distributed to investigators. As members of the Spectroscopy Preliminary Examination Team, we are preparing to analyse Stardust grains. Our contribution is to measure the spectrum of the grain...

Sn 0.986 Ni 0.014 O nanoparticles have been synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method. Nanoparticles crystallize in lower temperature (350°C) and shorter time (2h) respect to other methods. The sample characterized by various standard techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and UV–Vis spectroscopy. T...

A novel zinc oxide - agar nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using zinc chloride as a precursor. The nanocomposite was prepared using a domestic microwave oven. The prepared nanocomposites have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV- visible spectroscopy. The crystalline properties...
