Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different doses of Velosef in magnesium silica/chitosan nanocomposite in terms of structural, morphology, optical properties, and bioactivity. Loading Velosef in fine-sized magnesium silica/chitosan is an efficient engineering approach for drug delivery. The sol-gel process was used to prepare magnesium silica fine-sized before being blended into chitosan matrix, which acts as a potential morphogenetic biomaterial. The Velosef/magnesium silica/chitosan nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, FTIR, UV-absorption, and antimicrobial studies. The XRD was characteristic of the crystallinity degree of the MgO-SiO2/chitosan/Velosef nanocomposites with three maximum peaks at 26.37°, 33.34o, 36.9°. FTIR results indicated the structural change occurred with the Velosef sol-gel polymerization process. UV-absorbance reveals that the MgO-SiO2/chitosan nanocomposite appeared a high performance for loading Velosef at two absorption bands at 253 and 347 nm. The MgO-SiO2/Chitosan/Velosef nanocomposites showed considerable antimicrobial activity in opposition to the tested representative microorganisms. The maximum antimicrobial activity was obtained with MgO-SiO2/Chitosan against both Escherichia coli and Candida albicans (37 mm), while the minimum antimicrobial activity (30 mm) was recorded against B. mycoides and E. coli with control.

Lithium tantalite (LiTaO3) thin film material shows good feasibility and potential for the application of high-performance detection system. In this paper, sol-gel process of LiTaO3 thin films on p-type (111) silicon substrates was described. Stable precursor solution with a desired viscosity was obtained using lithium acetate (LiAc) and tantalum ethoxide (Ta(OC2H5)5) as starting materials. Heat treatment process was optimized to fabricate LiTaO3 films of high crystallinity. Higher crystalline quality films were obtained when each spin-coating process was followed by an annealing operation. Microstructures and crystallization properties of LiTaO3 thin films were further studied. Nano-crystalline films were obtained after annealing at 700 °C for 5 min. The experimental results indicated that the crystallinity and mean grain size of LiTaO3 thin films were proportional to the film thickness.
