This study attempts to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles from a high purity natural iron oxide ore found in Panvila, Sri Lanka, following a novel top-down approach. Powder X-Ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and chemical analysis data confirmed the ore to be exclusively magnetite with Fe2+ : Fe3+ratio of 1 : 2. Surface modified magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by destructuring of this ore using a top-down approach in the presence of oleic acid. These oleic acid coated nanoparticles were further dispersed in ethanol resulting in stable nanomagnetite dispersion. Interestingly, the nanoparticles demonstrated a spherical morphology with a particle size ranging from 20 to 50 nm. Magnetic force microscopic data was used to confirm the topography of the nanoparticles and to study the magnetic domain structure.

ABSTRACTAn aqueous magnetic suspension was prepared by dispersing amphiphilic co-polymer (ACP) coated monodispersed magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized through thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate in a mixture of oleic acid and oleylamine. ACP composed of poly (maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene) and polyethylene glycol methyl ether was applied to disperse MNPs in water and buffer solution. The average diameter of MNPs increased from 6.6 to 12.5 nm with increasing reaction temperature from 200 to 250°C. Infrared spectra and elemental analysis revealed that the surface modified MNPs contain carboxyl groups originated from oleic acid and ACP. The conjugation of MNPs and bovine serum albumin (BSA) antibody was examined. As a result, the as-synthesized MNPs adsorbed BSA antibody effectively than the surface modified MNPs: the BSA antibody adsorption decreased with increasing cross-linker concentration.

AbstractX-ray topography provides a non-destructive method of mapping point-by-point variations in orientation and reflecting power within crystals. The discovery, made by several workers independently, that in nearly perfect crystals it was possible to detect individual dislocations by X-ray diffraction contrast started an epoch of rapid exploitation of X-ray topography as a new, general method for assessing crystal perfection. Another discovery, that of X-ray Pendellösung, led to important theoretical developments in X-ray diffraction theory and to a new and precise method for measuring structure factors on an absolute scale. Other highlights picked out for mention are studies of Frank-Read dislocation sources, the discovery of long dislocation helices and lines of coaxial dislocation loops in aluminium, of internal magnetic domain structures in Fe-3 wt.% Si, and of stacking faults in silicon and natural diamonds.

The synthesize of Nd3+-strontium hexaferrite magnetic material by the solid-state reaction method has been successfully carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of Nd3+ on the structure, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption capability of the material. Preparation of (1-x)SrO:xNd2O3:6Fe2O3 where x = 0, 10, 20, and 30 mol% using basic material in the form of SrCO3 powder, Nd2O3 powder and Fe3O4 from natural iron sand. The characterization includes the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) examination to determine the crystal structure, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for exploring the surface morphology, Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) for the magnetic properties investigation of material, and Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) for microwave absorption capability analysis. The XRD results show that the addition of Nd3+ doping increases the number of SrNdFeO4 phases. The phase has a tetragonal crystal system that has cell parameters a = b = 3.846 Å, and c = 12.594 Å. The magnetic properties of the material showed that the addition of Nd3+ decreased the saturation and remanence magnetization values, whereas the value of the coercivity field increased. Meanwhile, the best microwave absorption occurs in samples with the addition of Nd3+ as much as 0.3 mol, which results in a reflection loss value of -18.9 dB with a frequency bandwidth of 3.9 GHz.

The utilization of waste-paper-biomass for extraction of important α-cellulose biopolymer, and modification of extracted α-cellulose for application in enzyme immobilization can be extremely vital for green circular bio-economy. Thus, in this study, α-cellulose fibers were super-magnetized (Fe3O4), grafted with chitosan (CTNs), and thiol (-SH) modified for laccase immobilization. The developed material was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), HR-TEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HR-TEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. Laccase immobilized on α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs (α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase) gave significant activity recovery (99.16%) and laccase loading potential (169.36 mg/g). The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase displayed excellent stabilities for temperature, pH, and storage time. The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase applied in repeated cycles shown remarkable consistency of activity retention for 10 cycles. After the 10th cycle, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs possessed 80.65% relative activity. Furthermore, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase shown excellent degradation of pharmaceutical contaminant sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The SMX degradation by α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase was found optimum at incubation time (20 h), pH (3), temperatures (30 °C), and shaking conditions (200 rpm). Finally, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase gave repeated degradation of SMX. Thus, this study presents a novel, waste-derived, highly capable, and super-magnetic nanocomposite for enzyme immobilization applications.

The modification of achira starch a thermoplastic biopolymer is shown. Glycerol and sorbitol, common plasticizers, were used in the molten state with organic acids such as oleic acid and lactic acid obtaining thermodynamically more stable products. The proportion of starch:plasticizer was 70:30, and the acid agent was added in portions from 3%, 6%, and 9% by weight. These mixtures were obtained in a torque rheometer for 10 min at 130 °C. The lactic acid managed to efficiently promote the gelatinization process by increasing the available polar sites towards the surface of the material; as a result, there were lower values in the contact angle, these results were corroborated with the analysis performed by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The results derived from oscillatory rheological analysis had a viscous behavior in the thermoplastic starch samples and with the presence of acids; this behavior favors the transitions from viscous to elastic. The mixture of sorbitol or glycerol with lactic acid promoted lower values of the loss module, the storage module, and the complex viscosity, which means lower residual energy in the transition of the viscous state to the elastic state; this allows the compounds to be scaled to conventional polymer transformation processes.

The Mo surface modified layer on Ti6Al4V alloy was obtained by the plasma surface alloying technique. The structure and composition of the Mo modified Ti6Al4V alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES). The Mo modified layer contains Mo coating on subsurface and diffusion layers between the subsurface and substrate. The X- ray diffraction analysis of the Mo modified Ti6Al4V alloy reveals that the outmost surface of the Mo modified Ti6Al4V alloy is composed of pure Mo. The electrochemical corrosion performance of the Mo modified Ti6Al4V alloy in 25°C Hank’s solution was investigated and compared with that of Ti6Al4V alloy. Results indicate that the self-corroding electric potential and the corrosion-rate of the Mo modified Ti6Al4V alloy are higher than that of Ti6Al4V alloy in 25°C Hank’s solution.

AbstractBased on 2-(4-pyridyl)-terephthalate (H2pta) and oxalate ligands, two new lanthanide-containing coordination polymers (CPs), [Tb(pta)(C2O4)0.5(H2O)2)]·2H2O (1) and [Sm(pta)(C2O4)0.5(H2O)2)]·2H2O (2), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. The structures of both 1 and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Infrared, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis data are also presented. The crystals of 1 and 2 exhibit isostructural layer-like networks, crystallizing in the triclinic space group P$‾{1}$. The layers are further stabilized and associated into 3D architectures through hydrogen bonding. Remarkably, the CPs 1 and 2 exhibit excellent water stability and remarkable thermostability with thermal decomposition temperatures of more than 420 °C.

Ultra High Molecular Weight

The effects of Modified NanoSiO2 Agents on the morphology and performance of ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) microporous membranes via thermally induced phase separation were investigated in this work. The NanoSiO2 was surface modified by silane coupling agent KH570 (KH570-NanoSiO2). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were performed to obtain crystallization of UHMWPE/white oil/ KH570-NanoSiO2 doped system. The morphology and performance of the prepared UHMWPE microporous membranes were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microfiltration experiments. The results showed that the morphology of UHMWPE membrane could be disturbed by KH570-NanoSiO2. Porosity and the rejection of Bovine serum albumin (BSA) of the blend membrane increased with increasing concentration of Modified NanoSiO2, while the water flux slightly decreased.
