ABSTRACTStable sols of 60 nm colloidal zirconia have been prepared by thermolysis of zirconium acetate. The surface complexing acetate groups have been replaced by phosphoric acid groups. Phosphate grafting has been characterized by dynamic light scattering, infrared spectroscopy, 31P nuclear magnetic resonance and impedance spectroscopy measurements. These systems give acid and proton conductive particles (4.10-5 S.cm-1 at 70 % relative humidity).H3PO4/ZrO2/PVDF-co-HFP composite membranes have been synthesized. Impedance spectroscopy measurements allow discrimination between proton conduction at the surface of the phosphated particles and within free H3PO4 in the polymer. For the highest H3PO4/ZrO2 ratios, the latter phenomenon prevails, giving a proton conductivity of 6.10-4 S.cm-1 at 70 % R.H.

Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are used in a variety of applications including drug formulations, paint, sensors and biomedical devices due to their unique physicochemical properties. One of the major problems with their widespread implementation is their uncontrolled agglomeration. One approach to reduce agglomeration is to alter their surface chemistry with a proper functionality in an environmentally friendly way. In this study, the influence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment on the dispersion of ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) agglomerates as a function of temperature is studied. The H2O2 treatment of the MONPs increases the density of hydroxyl (–OH) groups on the NP surface, as verified with FTIR spectroscopy. The influence of heating on the dispersion of H2O2-treated ZnO and TiO2 NPs is investigated using dynamic light scattering. The untreated and H2O2-treated ZnO and TiO2 NP suspensions were heated from 30 °C to 90 °C at 5 °C intervals to monitor the breakdown of large aggregates into smaller aggregates and individual nanoparticles. It was shown that the combined effect of hydroxylation and heating enhances the dispersion of ZnO and TiO2 NPs in water.

ABSTRACTHighly homogeneous nanoparticles-polymer composite materials are being developed to meet high demands of photonic materials covering a broad range of the refractive index. Refractive index engineering can be achieved by controlling loading level of metal-oxide nanoparticles within an organic host material. The uniformity and small size of nanoparticles are critical to maintain a low level of light scattering, particularly in the visible to infrared regions. First observations of index variation for these nanoparticle-polymer composites to our knowledge are presented.

Abstract Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have attracted the particular interest of scientists from various disciplines since their obtaining to the present day. The physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of SPIONs-containing magnetic nanofluids, and their applicability in biomedicine, largely depend on the stability of the colloidal system, particle size, size distribution, net magnetic moment, phase composition, and type and properties of stabilizers. Also, in some cases, when using magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical purposes, it is necessary that the stabilizing ligands of nanoparticles should not significantly change the magnetic properties. From this point of view, the preparation of stable colloidal systems containing bare iron oxide nanoparticles (BIONs) in water at physiological pH attracts particular attention and becomes increasingly popular in scientific circles. This study is focused on the development of the synthesis of aqueous suspensions of SPIONs stabilized with various organic molecules (oleic acid [OA] and poly(ethylene glycol) monooleate - with molecular weights 460 and 860) using a modified controlled chemical coprecipitation reaction, as well as stable nanofluids containing BIONs in an aqueous medium at neutral pH (near-physiological). The obtained samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry.

In this paper, the synthesis of Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles was carried out by the Conventional precipitation method. Ultraviolet, visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS) were performed to find the particles' bandgap and size. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) observed the characteristic bands of Zirconium oxide nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering analysis showed that the size of the particle was found to be 119 nm.
