Au nano particles have been successfully synthesized using extract of binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaves at various pH, irradiation power and irradiation time. The synthesis was conducted using microwave oven for some minutes, at certain adjusted experimental condition. pH of solution was varied from 2 – 10, irradiation power was adjusted in the range of 30% - 100% of total power of 800W, and iiradiation time was studied in the range of 30 – 120 second. The experimental results showed at low pH, the nonspherical particle was more commonly formed. The stabilization of particles took place more effectively at the higher pH. At low pH, the nano particles were below 50 nm in size and were in form of triangle, rod, rhombic, cubic, or truncated form of these shapes. UV-Vis spectra also indicated that both microwave irradiation power and time significantly affect the morphology of particles. These research provide clear explanation about the effect of the pH and irradiation time over the AuNP synthesis by using greener method, which can be further studied in optimizing experimental parameters for conducting industrial scale synthesis.

Reactions under microwave heating present reduced reaction times and larger yields. Therefore, this work is aimed at adapting a domestic microwave oven and optimizing the transesterification reaction used in biodiesel production with microwave heating, using babaçu coconut oil as raw material. It was used a central composite design for varying irradiation time, KOH concentration, and oil:methanol ratio. Statistical analyses were performed in orderto assess the significance of the model used. The optimized experimental conditions were: oil:methanol ratio, 8.59; KOH concentration, 2.19 %; and irradiation time, 70 seconds, givingan yield of approximately 100% regarding esters formation.

ABSTRACTWe report a successful demonstration of a position control technique for carbon nanotube growth catalyzed by an iron nano-dot array, which was fabricated by using electron beam induced chemical vapor deposition (EB-CVD). Point irradiation of an electron beam with ferrocene source gas produced an amorphous carbon dot containing iron atoms that were uniformly dispersed into each dot, and its position could be precisely controlled. Vacuum annealing of the ferrocene based dots induced segregation of iron nano-particles, whose size was almost proportional to the beam irradiation time. After removing the carbon residue, an ethanol CVD process carried out at 800°C under 40 mmHg of ethanol vapor induced carbon nanotube growth from the dots. Many grown nanotubes were very thin, being 0.7 to 1.8 nm in diameter. These diameters were much less than that of the bottom iron particles.

A super absorbent resin (SAR) of acrylic acid (AA)/acrylamide (AM) /organic montmorillonite (OMMT) composite was synthesized by aqueous solution polymerization. This process was carried out under precision microwave organic synthesis system and its single-mode focusing microwave irradiation technology was studied. The montmorillonite (MMT) was modified by treating with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Moreover, the factors that effect on liquid absorbency rate of the SAR were discussed, such as neutralization degree (ND) of AA, microwave irradiation time, microwave irradiation power and the dosage of the OMMT. It gave the best liquid absorbency rate (1520g.g-1 and 165g.g-1 in purified water and 0.9wt% NaCl solution, respectively).

Alumina nano-particles was grafted with poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) utilizing the sequential method; that is, the alumina surface was first rendered with initiator, benzophenone, by UV-irradiation followed by the grafting polymerization of HEMA on the surface which was initiated thermally and propagated via the free-radical polymerization. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the successful grafting of PHEMA onto the alumina surface. Determined by thermalgravimetry (TG), the amount of benzophenone on the alumina surface was found to increase with the UV-irradiation time; however upon grafting of PHEMA, the amount of grafted-PHEMA was the same irrespective of the reaction time. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of grafted-PHEMA on alumina particles was approximately 93 °C that is higher than that of PHEMA which has Tg around 85 °C. This indicates the more restricted movement of grafted-PHEMA compared with the ungrafted-PHEMA.

A new versatile macromolecule cyclic C-3,7-dimethyl-7-hydroxycalix[4]resorcinarene (CDHHK4R) has been synthesized from a fragrance agent, 7-hydroxycitronellal, via microwave irradiation. The reaction utilized a domestic microwave oven at various irradiation time and power to yield an optimum condition. As a comparison, the conventional heating method was also employed for the synthesis of the same calix[4]resorcinarene. Compared to the conventional method, microwave-assisted reaction effectively reduced the reaction time, the amount of energy consumption and the waste production. It is found that the synthesis of CDHHK4R by microwave irradiation yielded 77.55% of product, higher than by conventional heating which was only 62.17%.

The aqueous solution polymerization of acrylic acid, acrylamide and oxidized starch under single mode microwave irradiation was studied, and a polymer suppressant was synthesized. The factors that influence on performance of the polymer suppressant were discussed, including microwave irradiation time, neutralization degree of acrylic acid (AA), the dosage of oxidized starch. The polymer suppressant was characterized by IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the optimal synthetic conditions are as follows: microwave irradiation power, 300 W; radiation time, 2 mins; 50% neutralization degree of the AA; m(AA) : m(AM) : m(oxidized starch)= 5.0 : 3.3 : 3.4, weight ratio initiator in the feed is 0.4%, respectively.

The use of microwaves for the synthesis of materials is very important due to its versatility, it is an economical option, friendly with the environment, generates a low energy demand and the syntheses are carried out in very short times. There are many methods that use microwaves to obtain materials, however, the simplest one is the ceramic method, which consists in blending by grinding the reagents or precursors, which are placed in a quartz cell and finally carried to the microwave oven for synthesis. The reagents used to carry out this research are ?-Bi2O3 and graphite. The phase change in the ?-Bi2O3 was obtained despite the differences in weight composition and the variation of power level and irradiation time inside the microwave oven. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to verify the phase and morphology of the samples before and after irradiation. The last step of this work was the capacitance measurement of the composites made of 0.39 g of alumina and 0.01 g of the product of graphite and bismuth oxide after irradiation at different conditions. The results demonstrated an increasing of capacitance in all the samples conformed by ?-Bi2O3/C/Al2O3.

This work illustrates an enhanced visible light photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye (M.O.) by employing BiOI / BiOCl composites prepared under room temperature and without any organic precursors. Various experimental parameters have been studied, namely; composition of the composite, irradiation time and cell material. Composition D which implied 75% BiOI and 25% BiOCl has shown the highest bleaching of M.O. dye. This confirms the optimum photo-sensitization phenomenon for this composition in comparison to others. In the optimum photo-sensitized composite the electron of the conduction band reveals better reducing power and the hole of the valence band exhibits more oxidative power than those of pure BiOI electron and hole. Accordingly, under appropriate experimental conditions, methyl orange was significantly bleached using composite D.
