ABSTRACTPolyaniline–Zinc oxide nano-composite material was prepared by chemical polymerization of aniline with ZnO nano-particles doping. Surface Pressure-Area (π-A) isotherms of Polyaniline (PANi) and Polyaniline–Zinc oxide nano-composite shows phase transformations of monolayer during compression process. Multiple isotherms indicate that the monolayer of the composite material can retain its configuration during compression-expansion cycles. The structural, topographical and electrical properties of these deposited Langmuir Blodgett films were studied and characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Conductive Atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) respectively. For detailed investigations of the LB film properties, Conductive AFM is used to measure the I-V relationship of a surface of Langmuir Blodgett (LB) films of Polyaniline and Polyaniline–Zinc oxide nano-composite. The contact size of the AFM cantilever tip can be as small as a few nanometers, so, the local variation of the electrical property, which is unseen in the macroscopic level, can be observed by the I-V curve. A current ranging up to 3 nA and 20 nA have been observed in the case of PANi and PANi-ZnO nano-composite LB film, respectively. Conductive data images of the ITO substrate, PANi and PANi-ZnO nano-composite LB film on the ITO substrate obtained with an applied bias voltage of 4V showed that the distribution of current on the whole surface is almost uniform and very less inhomogeneities have been observed in the surface conductance of the PANi and PANi-ZnO nano-composite LB film.

This study aimed to biosynthesize and optimize the process of iron oxide nanoparticles producing by Penicilliumwaksmanii isolated from soil by employing mathematical methodology. The synthesized nanoparticles were formed with fairly well-defined dimensions with good monodispersity determined by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering), UV-Visible spectroscopy, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI) and correlogram of nanoparticles. The effects of different factors such as pH, temperature and concentration of FeCl3 on the particle size were investigated by Box-Behnken experimental design. The R2 value was calculated to be 0.9992 indicating the accuracy and ability of the polynomial model.
