Dental care is an essential phenomenon in human health. Oral pathogens can cause severe break which may show the way to serious issues in human disease like blood circulation and coronary disease. In the current study, we demonstrated the synthesis and antimicrobial activity of cadmium sulphide and zinc sulphide nanoparticles against oral pathogens. The process for the synthesis of cadmium sulp...

Zinc sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles have been synthesised by a green approach involving laser irradiation of an aqueous solution of zinc acetate (Znac2) and sodium sulphide (Na2S·9H2O) or thioacetamide (TAA) in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The structural and morphological properties of the prepared samples were analysed using a transmission electron microscope, TEM, a high resolution transmission ...

Zinc Sulphide particle in the nanometer size regime has been synthesized using chemical routes. The particles were capped using 2-mercaptoethanol to achieve the stability and avoid the coalescence. The as-obtained particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–VIS absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The dielectric measurements of t...

Different samples of ZnS nanoparticals were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature using zincsulphate as zinc source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. Structural properties of synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) while optical properties were examined by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. XRD pattern showed the as synth...

This paper describes the equilibrium morphologies of zinc sulfide nanoparticles in the wurtzite phase as a function of size, determined using ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations and a shape-dependent thermodynamic model predicting the Gibbs free energy of a nanoparticle. We investigate the relative stabilities of a variety of nanoparticle shapes based on the wurtzite structure...

In this study, Fe(II) complexes of phenyldithiocarbamate, dimethyldithiocarbamate and imidazolyldithiocarbamate were used as single-source precursors to prepare iron sulphide nanoparticles by thermolysis in oleic acid/octadecylamine (ODA) at 180 °C. The nanoparticles were dispersed into hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) to prepare iron sulphide/HEC nanocomposites. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), Photo...

Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) nanoparticles doped with different concentrations of Mn (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) have been synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a capping agent to control the particle growth. The structural characterizations of as synthesized nanoparticles are determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) which showed cubic zinc blende structures with av...

In this paper we report on ZnS nanoparticles produced by precipitation of zinc acetate and sodium sulphide and stabilized by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous media and deposited on montmorillonite (MMT). For the deposition a new method based on intensive cavitation was used. The montmorillonite carrier was first disintegrated by intense turbulent mixing in an ultrasonic field in...

Diamond-reinforced zinc sulphide composites have increased toughness as compared to that of pure zinc sulphide. While the mechanical properties of the composites are relatively insensitive to green state processing, the optical properties are greatly affected by the processing which governs the quality of diamond dispersion. Improved dispersion and hence good optical transmission have been achi...
