In the present work, the image features of cavitation erosion surfaces at different temperatures are extracted using wavelet decomposition transform. The results obtained indicate that the extract parameters, wavelet energy, and entropy can characterize the cavitation intensity in a similar manner to that of the mass loss and average particle size at different temperatures. Based on the analysis of the eroded surface and particle morphologies for different temperatures, it was found that the predominant failure mode was fatigue.

L10 ordered FePt and FePtCu nanoparticles (NPs) with a good dispersion were successfully fabricated by a simple, green, one-step solid-phase reduction method. Fe (acac)3, Pt (acac)2, and CuO as the precursors were dispersed in NaCl and annealed at different temperatures with an H2-containing atmosphere. As the annealing temperature increased, the chemical order parameter (S), average particle size (D), coercivity (Hc), and saturation magnetization (Ms) of FePt and FePtCu NPs increased and the size distribution range of the particles became wider. The ordered degree, D, Hc, and Ms of FePt NPs were greatly improved by adding 5% Cu. The highest S, D, Hc, and Ms were obtained when FePtCu NPs annealed at 750 °C, which were 0.91, 4.87 nm, 12,200 Oe, and 23.38 emu/g, respectively. The structure and magnetic properties of FePt and FePtCu NPs at different annealing temperatures were investigated and the formation mechanism of FePt and FePtCu NPs were discussed in detail.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

This study was carried out to prepare and characterize domperidone nanoparticles to enhance solubility and the release rate. Domperidone is practically insoluble in water and has low and an erratic bioavailability range from 13%-17%. The domperidone nanoparticles were prepared by solvent/antisolvent precipitation method at different polymer:drug ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 using different polymers and grades of poly vinyl pyrolidone, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizers. The effect of polymer type, ratio of polymer:drug, solvent:antisolvent ratio, stirring rate and stirring time on the particle size, were investigated and found to have a significant (p? 0.05) effect on particle size. The best formula was obtained with lowest average particle size of 84.05. This formula was studied for compatibility by FTIR and DSC, surface morphology by FESEM and crystalline state by XRPD. Then domperidone nanoparticles were formulated into a simple capsule dosage form in order to study of the in vitro release of drug from nanoparticles in comparison raw drug and mixture of polymer:drug ratios of 2:1. The release of domperidone from best formula was highly improved with a significant (p? 0.05) increase.

AbstractIn the present investigation, an attempt has been made to establish a new chemical route for synthesis of the nanostructured mixed oxide ferrite powders. By using this chemical method a variety of ferrite powders having spinel structure and doped with Co, Ni, Mn, Zn etc has been prepared. In this method nitrate salts of the different metals were used as starting materials. The aqueous solutions of the metal nitrates were mixed according to the molar ration of the compositions. Then the mixtures were mixed with an aqueous solution of water soluble polymer (polyvinyl alcohol). This mixture after drying yield fluffy brown powders. These powders were then calcined at different temperatures ranging from 400 °C to 700 °C. Nanostructured powders were obtained from the thermal decomposition of the brown powders. The powders, prepared by calcinations at different temperatures, were characterized by using X-Ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, TGA/DTA, and TEM. It was observed that the average particle size of the powders are in nanometer scale with a narrow size distribution. The average particle size of the powders was increased with the increase of calcinations temperature.This chemical method has proved to provide a convenient process for the preparation of nanostructured ceramic powders at comparatively low temperatures and offers the potential of being a simple and cost-effective route.

Cerium-doped ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized through hydrothermal method. The nanoparticles were stabilized using hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as surfactant in aqueous solution. The average particle size of the prepared samples is about 2 nm. The structure of the as-prepared ZnS nanoparticles is cubic (zinc blende) as demonstrated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis. TEM results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in the HMTA matrix without aggregation. The UV–Vis absorption spectra of the prepared ZnS nanoparticles show a considerable blueshift in the absorption band edge compared to bulk ZnS indicating a strong quantum confinement effect. Formation of HMTA-capped ZnS nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR studies. Photoluminescence studies showed that the relative emission intensity of Ce3+ -doped ZnS nanoparticles is higher than that of undoped ZnS nanoparticles, which is due to the enhancement of radiative recombination in the luminescence process. The PL spectra showed two emission peaks at around 420 nm and 442 nm, which may be attributed to deep-trap emission or defect-related emission of ZnS and presence of various surface states.

We report measurements of the thermal conductivity of aqueous suspensions of aluminum oxide nanoparticles with nominal diameters of 20nm, 30nm, and 45nm and at volume concentrations up to 10%. Potential complications in the pulsed transient hot-wire technique for characterizing nanofluids are examined, which motivate the development of a microhot strip setup with a small thermal time constant. The average particle size is monitored for samples subjected to different durations of sonication and the thermal conductivity is determined at two different temperatures for each of the samples. The present data do not reveal any anomalous enhancement in the thermal conductivity previously reported for comparable nanofluids. The concentration dependence of the thermal conductivity can be explained using the conventional effective medium model with a physically reasonable set of parameters.

The porous nature of alumina has been investigated using various techniques. The values obtained for moisture content, surface area, pore volume, average particle size and porosity were 22%, 116 m2/g, 0.76 cm3/g, 17.0±0.5 μm and 68.0%, respectively. The adsorption isotherms of NdIII, PrIII and ErIII on alumina from aqueous solution have been obtained at different temperatures. All these adsorption isotherms obey the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm equations. Thermodynamic parameters such as the free energy, entropy and enthalpy of adsorption have been computed and interpreted. It is noteworthy that the adsorption of PrIII and NdIII increases with decreasing temperature while the reverse is observed for ErIII.
