Effects of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles on Devitrification Crystallization in Cryoprotectant Solutions

To study the effects of Hydroxyapatite(HA) nanoparticles on devitrification in cryoprotectant solutions,the crystallization of glycerol(60%,w/w) and PEG-600(50%,w/w) solutions with HA nanoparticles of different sizes(20 nm、 40 nm、60 nm)and different concentrations(0.1%、 0.5%)during warming were investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) combined with cryomicroscopy.Experimental results showed that the presence of nanoparticles does not change the glass transition temperatures and melting temperatures of quenched solutions,but affects the behavior of devitrification and recrystallization upon warming.The morphologies of glycerol and PEG-600 solutions are dendritic and spheric respectively,and the structures are not changed by adding nanoparticles.The ice fraction of glycerol solution containing 0.1%60nm HA nanoparticles diminished significantly when comparing to the control solution.The ice fractions of PEG-600 solutions increased dramatically between-64℃ and-54℃.The findings have significant implications for biomaterial cryopreservation.

Electrochemical synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with controlled size

We present a novel and facile method enabling synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles, which are composed mainly of maghemite according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer spectroscopy studies. The proposed process is realized by anodic iron polarization in deaerated LiCl solutions containing both water and ethanol. Water seems to play an important role in the synthesis. Morphology of the product was studied by means of transmission electron microscopy and XRD. In the solution containing almost 100% of water a black suspension of round shaped maghemite nanoparticles of 20–40 nm size is obtained. Regulating water concentration allows to control nanoparticle size, which is reduced to 4–6 nm for 5% of water with a possibility to reach intermediate sizes. For 3% or lower water concentration nanoparticles are of a needle-like shape and form a reddish suspension. In this case phase determination is problematic due to a small particle size with the thickness of roughly 3 nm. However, XRD studies indicate the presence of ferrihydrite. Coercivities of the materials are similar to those reported for nanoparticle magnetite powders, whereas the saturation magnetization values are considerably smaller.     

Sonochemical preparation of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles stabilized by glycosaminoglycans

Stable hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles system was synthesized from Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) aqueous solution and saturated Ca(OH)(2) aqueous solution by an improved precipitation method. This method was reformed through using ultrasound irradiation as assistant technology due to its unique chemical reaction effects and adding glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as regulation additive due to its strong interaction with HAP. The products were characterized by Malvern Zetasizer 3000HS Analysis system, TEM and ED. The size distribution and zeta potential of HAP nanoparticles were influenced by the concentration of GAGs. With the GAGs concentration of 0.35g/L, the better excellent HAP nanoparticle system could be obtained with the number-averaged particle size of 22.2nm in 84.5% area and 54.6nm in 15.5% area between 18.1nm and 117.4nm and the zeta potential of -60.9mV. In the presence of GAGs, the particle size and size distribution are little sensitive to the ultrasound irradiation (UI) time. With the increasing of UI time from 0.5h to 3h and 5h, the particle size increased a little and the crystallinity was improved. GAGs inhibited HAP crystal growth and stabilized HAP nanoparticles. Based on the TEM observation and size distribution determination of HAP nanoparticles, the possible formation mechanism of HAP nanoparticles stabilized by GAGs under UI was discussed.     

The effect of liquid environment on size and aggregation of gold nanoparticles prepared by pulsed laser ablation

The effects of liquid environment on nucleation, growth and aggregation of gold nanoparticles were studied. Gold nanoparticles were prepared by pulsed laser ablation in deionised water with various concentrations of ethanol and also in pure ethanol. UV/visible extinction and TEM observations were employed for characterization of optical properties and particle sizes respectively. Preparation in water results in smaller size, shorter wavelength of maximum extinction and stable solution with an average size of 6 nm. Nanoparticles in solution with low concentration ethanol up to 20 vol% are very similar to those prepared in water. In the mixture of deionised water and 40 up to 80 vol% ethanol, wavelength of maximum extinction shows a red shift and mean size of nanoparticles was increased to 8.2 nm. Meanwhile, in this case, nanoparticles cross-linked each other and formed string type structures. In ethanol, TEM experiments show a mean size of 18 nm and strong aggregation of nanoparticles. The data were discussed qualitatively by considering effects of polarity of surrounding molecules on growth mechanism and aggregation. This study provided a technique to control size, cross-linking and aggregation of gold nanoparticles via changing the nature of liquid carrier medium.     

Modifier effects on chemical reduction synthesis of nanostructured copper

Size-controlled chemical reduction synthesis of nanostructured Cu was studied in the presence of a single modifier such as polyethylene glycols, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate or a mixture of two different types of modifiers. The Cu nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The average particle size and particle size distribution of the nanostructured Cu depend upon the type of modifiers and the modifier effect follows the order: PEG-2000 > SDBS > PEG-600 > SDS > PEG-6000. The experimental results indicate that due to the existence of a synergistic action, a mixture of two types of modifiers has a significant effect on the particle size and the size distribution of Cu nanoparticles.     

Synthesis of nanocrystalline SnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> in supercritical water

Nanocrystalline SnO₂ was synthesized in supercritical water at 385–415°C and 30 MPa (38–106 s residence time) in a tubular flow reactor from an aqueous solution of 0.1–0.4 M SnCl₄. The conversion rate was between 53 and 81%, but increased to 97.8% when 0.1 M NaOH was added. Nanoparticles were analyzed by a series of independent analytical techniques, including TEM, Raman, XRD, SEM, EDX and FT-IR. The initial size of the particles was about 3.7 nm. After calcination at 450°C for 2 h, the particle size increased to 4 nm. The particles were of low crystallinity, as indicated by the weak Raman and XRD signals. All particles were composed of Sn and O, as verified by the EDX spectra. The crystals were tetragonal, as confirmed by the weak XRD spectrum. After calcination at 600°C for 10 h, the particle size increased to 9 nm, while high crystallinity was confirmed by Raman and XRD analyses. All the crystals had the same structure, as indicated by TEM electron diffraction patterns. Using this one-step supercritical water process, nanoparticles of SnO₂ can be conveniently produced continuously in a flow reactor in less than 2 min.     

Photochemical preparation of ZnO nanoparticles

Preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles from aqueous solutions containing zinc nitrate or formate using UV irradiation was investigated. Analysis of solid phase formed during irradiation confirmed the presence of zinc oxide or zinc peroxide nanoparticles ranging in size from 1 to 70 nm, depending on initial precursors. Annealing at temperatures 650–1000 °C results in forming of rice-like zinc oxide particles, up to hundreds of nm in size. Photochemical method yields material with high chemical purity and uniform particle size distribution. In addition, photo-induced doping of zinc oxide with lanthanum was studied. Presence of lanthanum in zinc oxide crystal lattice and post-preparation treatment in reduction atmosphere significantly increase the UV excitonic luminescence at 395 nm in radioluminescence spectra.     

Electrochemical method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles

The article deals with a novel electrochemical method of preparing long-lived silver nanoparticles suspended in aqueous solution as well as silver powders. The method does not involve the use of any chemical stabilising agents. The morphology of the silver nanoparticles obtained was studied using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements. Silver nanoparticles suspended in water solution that were produced by the present technique are nearly spherical and their size distribution lies in the range of 2 to 20 nm, the average size being about 7 nm. Silver nanoparticles synthesised by the proposed method were sufficiently stable for more than 7 years even under ambient conditions. Silver crystal growth on the surface of the cathode in the electrochemical process used was shown to result in micron-sized structures consisting of agglomerated silver nanoparticles with the sizes below 40 nm.
