Spheroid hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were successfully prepared by titrating Ca(NO3)2•4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 aqueous solution in the reverse microemulsion, which consists of mixed OP-10(surfactant), cyclohexane(oil phase), and isobutanol (cosurfactant).The structure and morphology of the prepared powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The optimum composition was investigated via the analysis of the aqueous solution conductivity, and the mechanism of aqueous reaction. The effect of the pH value and the amount of surfactant on the particle size were studied. The results indicate that the best conditions are which the concentration of OP-10 and isobutanol both are 0.2 M, when the water content is between 130 ml-250 ml,it results in pure nano-hydroxyapatite spheroid-like powders, and the water content is about 200 ml, whose diameters are 50 nm-80 nm, and good particle diameter distribution, the particle microstructure is homogeneous, good crystal structure and higher crystallinity.

The photoacoustic (PA) signal amplitude measured in gold nanosphere suspensions has been shown to increase nonlinearly with the incident excitation fluence. In this work, this effect is exploited to recover the spatial distribution of gold nanoparticles in tomographic 3D photoacoustic (PA) images against the background contrast provided by absorbers that exhibit a linear relationship between the PA signal amplitude and the fluence. Serial tomographic PA images of a tissue phantom containing gold nanospheres and a tissue-mimicking absorber were acquired. By assessing the linearity of the PA intensity voxel by voxel, the spatial distribution of the gold nanosphere suspension was recovered. The method is shown to enable the robust detection of gold nanoparticles.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were obtained directly, avoiding the calcination step, by precipitation at 70°C in bicontinuous microemulsions stabilized with a mixture of surfactants sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate/sodium dodecyl sulfate (2/1, wt./wt.) containing 0.7 M zinc nitrate aqueous solution. Two concentrations of aqueous solution of precipitating agent sodium hydroxide were used under different dosing times on microemulsion. Characterization by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy allowed us to identify particles with an acicular rod-like morphology and a hexagonalwurtzitecrystal structure as small as 8.5 and 30 nm in average diameter and length, respectively. Productivities much higher than those typical in the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles via reverse microemulsions were obtained. Particle size was the same at the two studied sodium hydroxide concentrations, while it increases as dosing time of the precipitant agent increases. It is believed that the surfactant film on the microemulsion channels restricts the particle diameter growth.
