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.

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.

oleic acid-modified nano-titanium dioxide were synthesized by Oleic acid and tetrabutyl titanate via the sol-gel method, and characterized by IR TEM TG-DT A and XPS. Comparison with the data of the IR, the combination of carboxyl is chelating with Ti atoms. Based on the analysis of IR, TG-DTA and XPS, this paper suggests a model about the oleic acid-modified titanium dioxide nano-structure, and to provide a basis for future applications.

The aim of this study was to optimize the method used for obtaining microparticles based on chitosan � a biocompatible, biodegradable, and nontoxic polymer, and to characterize the developed systems. Chitosan microparticles, as drug delivery systems were obtained by inotropic gelation method using pentasodiumtripolyphosphate (TPP) as cross-linking agent. Chitosan with low molecular weight (CSLMW) in concentration which ranged between 0.5 and 5 %, was used while the concentration of cross-linking agent ranged between 1 and 5%. The characterization of the microparticles in terms of shape, uniformity and adhesion was performed in solution and dried state. The size of the microparticles and the degree of swelling were also determined. The structure and the morphology of the developed polymeric systems were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The average diameter of the chitosan microparticles was around 522 �m. The most stable microparticles were obtained using CSLMW 1% and TPP 2% or CSLMW 0.75%and TPP 1%. The micropaticles were spherical, uniform and without flattening. Using CSLMW in concentration of 0.5 % poorly cross-linked and crushed microparticles have been obtained at all TPP concentrations. By optimization of the method, stable chitosan-based micropaticles were obtained which will be used to develop controlled release systems for drug delivery.

One of the main challenges facing materials science today is the synthesis of new biodegradable and biocompatible materials capable of improving existing ones. This work focused on the synthesis of new biomaterials from the bioconjugation of oleic acid with L-cysteine using carbodiimide. The resulting reaction leads to amide bonds between the carboxylic acid of oleic acid and the primary amine of L-cysteine. The formation of the bioconjugate was corroborated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In these techniques, the development of new materials with marked differences with the precursors was confirmed. Furthermore, NMR has elucidated a surfactant structure, with a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic section. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) was used to determine the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of the bioconjugate. Subsequently, light diffraction (DLS) was used to analyze the size of the resulting self-assembled structures. Finally, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was obtained, where the shape and size of the self-assembled structures were appreciated.
