Various nanocomposite materials play a number of important roles in modern science and technology including pharmaceutical science. Among these materials, mesoporous materials cover a large number of applications in drug delivery system. The quantitative incorporation and high dispersion of selenium nanoparticles into MCM-41 have been made possible by the coordination between Se(IV) ion and ami...

As a part of our programme to develop nanobioconjugates for the treatment of cancer, we first synthesized extracellular, protein-capped, highly stable and well-dispersed gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles by using thermophilic fungus Humicola sp. The biodistribution of the nanoparticles in rats was checked by radiolabelling with Tc-99m. Finally, these nanoparticles were bioconjugated with t...

Being different from common sensing molecules existing as monomer in solution, the gelators as sensing molecules self-assembled together in gels. Therefore, the interaction strength between gelators is believed as an important factor for gels to recognize selectively anions. In this paper, we choose two gelators, presenting similar binding sites for anions, but different strengths in intermolec...

zno and zno:mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. the size, band gap, urbach energy, optical constants and penetration depth of nanocrystals were calculated by uv-vis spectroscopy data. the surface morphology was studied with the use of scanning electron microscope (sem). moreover the samples exposed to gama ray source of 60co and their thermoluminescence properties were also ...

Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS), coupled with fiber optic probes, has been shown to be a quick and reliable analytical tool for quality assurance and quality control in the pharmaceutical industry, both for verifications of raw materials and quantification of the active ingredients in final products. In this paper, a typical pharmaceutical product, hydrocortisone sodium succinate,...

UV–VIS spectroscopy is applied to study the structural and especially morphological particularities of silver nanoclusters-phosphate glass composites from the dispersed phase perspective. The electronic absorption measurements performed on several types of phosphate glasses with different Ag2O content indicate the existence of both silver nanoparticles of various dimensions and shapes, and Ag i...

Analytical methods based on spectroscopic techniques were developed and validated for the determination of diethyl phthalate (DEP) and polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), which may occur in unrecorded alcohol. Analysis for PHMG was based on UV-VIS spectrophotometry after derivatization with Eosin Y and (1)H NMR spectroscopy of the DMSO extract. Analysis of DEP was performed with direct UV-VIS a...

The interaction between perazine dimaleate (PDM) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by voltammetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy, molecular docking and viscometric methods. The study was carried out in acetate buffer solution of pH 7.2, which was prepared by using 0.1 M sodium acetate and adjusting pH using 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. The voltammetric study of PDM sh...

Stable and isolable alkanethiolate-stabilized Pt nanoparticles (PtNP) were synthesized using the two-phase thiosulfate method with sodium S-alkylthiosulfate as ligand precursor. The mechanistic formation of octanethiolate-capped PtNP (Pt-SC8) from both sodium S-octylthiosulfate and 1-octanethiol ligands was investigated by using 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies, which revealed the formation of ...

Composite films derived from the water-soluble Keplerate-type polyoxometalate (NH4)42[Mo132O372(CH3COO)30(H2O)72]·ca. 300H2O·ca. 10CH3COONH4 (denoted (NH4)42{Mo132}) and chloroform-soluble tetraphenylporphyrin perchlorate [H2TPP](ClO4)2 are successfully fabricated by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method and characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The st...
