Purpose: In this study, a novel D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles were developed for delivery of Anastrozole (ANZ) which is optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD). This TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs are evaluated for their physicochemical and drug release characteristics. Methods: TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs were prepared by desolvation thermal gelation method andthe effects of critical process parameter (CPP)which are BSA amount, TPGS concentration and stirring speed on the critical quality attributes (CQA) such as % drug loading (%DL) and particle size were studied using BBD. TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques including UV-Visible and FTIR is used to confirm the entrapment of ANZ in BSA. DSC and PXRD revealed the amorphization of ANZ in the TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs after freeze drying. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed for the surface morphologyanalysesNPs. In vitro release studies were performed at pH 5.5 and pH 7.4 for 48h to mimic tumour microenvironment. Results: The BBD optimized batch showed 107 nm particle size with % DL of 8.5± 0.5 of TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs. The spectroscopic and thermal characterizations revealed the successful encapsulation of ANZ inside the nanoparticles.The TPGS-ANZ-BSA NPs were found to exhibit burst release at pH 5.5 and sustained release at pH 7.4. The short-term stability of drug-loaded nanoparticles displayed no significant changes in physicochemical properties at room temperature for period of one month. Conclusion: The BBD optimized TPGS-ANZ-BSA nanoparticles showed enhanced physiochemical properties for ANZ and potential candidate for anticancer agent drugs delivery.

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles and nanorods were synthesized by precipitation from saturated sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate aqueous solutions through co precipitation method. A new rout of synthesis was done by both using pulsed mixing method and controlling the addition of calcium nitrate. The effect of the agitation speed, and the temperature on particle size and morphology were investigated. Particles were characterized using X-ray Microanalysis, X-ray analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that increasing the mixer rotation speed from 3425 to 15900 (rpm) decreases the average particle size to 64±7 nm. A rapid nucleation then aggregation induced by excessive shear force phenomena could explain this observation. Moreover, by increasing the reaction temperature, the products were converted from nanoparticle to nanorods. The maximum attainable aspect ratio was 6.23 at temperature of 75°C and rotation speed of 3425. Generally, temperature raise promoted a significant homoepitaxial growth in one direction toward the formation of calcite nanorods. Overall, this study can open new avenues to control the morphology of the calcium carbonate nanostructures.

AbstractYb:YAG transparent ceramic nano-powder was prepared by chemical co-precipitation method, with ammonium bicarbonate as the precipitant and polyethylene glycol as surfactant. The addition of polyethylene glycol can reduce the agglomeration and particle size of the prepared Yb:YAG powder. The morphology, thermal stability and phase structure of Yb:YAG nano-powder were charactered by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that well-crystallized nano-powder was obtained by calcining the precursors at 900 °C for 3 h. The average particle size of Yb:YAG powder is about 100–200 nm. When the volume amount of polyethylene glycol is 2.0%, well-dispersed Yb:YAG powder with spherical particles of 100 nm diameter was obtained.

In this work, PrFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by modified co-precipitation method and annealed at different temperatures up to 850?C. The annealed PrFeO3 nanoparticles have single phase orthorhombic structure and the average particle size of 25-30 nm. Due to the very small particle size the prepared PrFeO3 nanoparticles are capable of being used as photocatalyst materials thanks to their strong adsorption bands at 230-400 nm and 400-800 nm observed from the UV-Vis spectra. Additionally, the PrFeO3 nanoparticles are paramagnetic materials with Hc ~ 10Oe and Mr ~ 0. These findings demonstrate their potential use not only as photocatalysts, but also as magnetic materials.

The recent development of the using the magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia treatments emphasizes the needed of smart materials to become a safety for heat therapy. Self-regulate magnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 may be proper for thermal treatments. Structure and magnetic properties of the synthesis Mn1-xZnx Fe2O4 with x=0- 0.5 by step 0.1were studied. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles of MnZnFe2O4 were prepared by co-precipitation method, followed that heat treatment in the autoclave reactor. XRD results showed that is difficult to prepare MnZnFe2O4 directly using the co-precipitation method. Preparation method yield nanoparticles with spherical shape and there is a slight change in the particle size distribution, also observed shrinkage occurs in the particle size after heat treatments, the average particle size was estimated about 20nm as confirmed by FESEM images. FTIR spectra of samples showed two distinct absorption peaks in the range ~ 617 – 426 (cm-1) related to stretching vibrations of the (Fe-O) in the tetrahedral and octahedral side respectively. Magnetic measurements were carried out using (VSM), M-H curves indicate typical soft magnetic materials and particles so small to be identical superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Heating ability of water based colloidal dispersions of samples were studied under magnetic field strength 6.5kA/m and the frequency 190 kHz, and the results showed when increasing Zn2+ to x=0.3 or more the samples not heated up. Depending on the heating curve susceptibility, effective relaxation time and Néel relaxation time , were determined.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, extensive studies have been performed on magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and their applications, which have shown the current project to be one of the major applications by laboratory results.METHODS: The nanoparticles synthesized in this project were deposited by the co-precipitation method, which structure was identified by analyzers such as SEM, FT-IR, and EDX. The aim of this project is the adsorption and fixation of biomolecule (BSA (bovine serum albumin) protein on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles.RESULTS: The adsorption results by electrophoresis and spectrophotometric analyzers showed an absorption rate above 55% ie; 55% of the protein is fixed on the MNPs nanoparticles. This absorption is due to the high level of functionality of magnetic nanoparticles for adsorption of protein. The results of the EDX analysis also show the possible electrostatic bonding between the nanoparticles and the protein, this is derived from –OH with –NH2 groups of the nanobiocompound (MNPs /protein). After bonding, the two are easily separated.CONCLUSION: In this project, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles was synthesized and identified by SEM, FT-IR, and EDX analyzers and finally reacted with the BSA protein (for the absorption of protein on MNPs) under experimental conditions at a standard temperature of 25° C. The results showed that about 55% of the protein was fixed on magnetic nanoparticles.

CdS is an important wide bandgap chalcogenides most popularly studied for various optoelectronics and biosensing applications. In this study, CdS Nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared successfully by chemical co-precipitation method, using cadmium acetate and sodium sulphide as precursors. A comparative study of average particle size calculated by Scherrer Plot, Uniform Deformation Model (UDM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis and Brus Model has been done here. The structural and optical behaviour of synthesized samples were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), DLS and UV–Visible Spectroscopy. The XRD spectra of the prepared CdS NPs revealed the crystalline phase having cubic structure. The average particles size has been studied via Debye Scherrer equation and Scherrer Plot. For the theoretical calculations of particle size along with the induced lattice strain, considering the broadening effect of lattice strain, Williamson-Hall analysis was employed. Assuming the lattice strain to be isotropic in nature, UDM was applied for calculation. The particles size distribution profile in terms of volume as well as intensity was recorded using DLS analysis in ethanol medium at room temperature. Besides this, the energy bandgap was obtained by applying Tauc model in the recorded absorption spectra. The obtained value of bandgap was used in Brus model for estimating the average particle size. The obtained comparative results show that the average particle size of the prepared CdS NPs estimated from Scherrer equation, Scherrer plot, UDM plot and Brus model are almost similar and lies in the range of 2-5 nm whereas the results of DLS showed wide variation in the range of 40-600 nm.
