Brachytherapy is expected to be a solution to the side effect of other cancer therapy methods. This study aims to synthesize ferrofluids (FF)-Chitosan-Au (so-called cold synthesis) as the initial step before using 198Au that is expected to be a targeted and controllable brachytherapy agent. In this research, the preparation of FF-Chitosan was done by the co-precipitation method. Furthermore, FF-Chitosan-Au was produced via self-assembly by the adsorption method. The adsorption followed the Langmuir model with a maximum capacity of 30.24 mg Au/g FF-Chitosan. The X-Ray Diffractometion (XRD) of FF-Chitosan-Au confirms the existence of Au. Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) indicates FF-Chitosan-Au has an average size of 82.93 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.175. Morphological and distribution analysis of nanoparticles using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) shows that nanoparticles have a homogenous spherical shape. Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) measurement confirms the superparamagnetic properties of FF-Chitosan and FF-Chitosan-Au with a saturated magnetization of 80.48 and 74.52 emu/g, respectively. The overall results are associated with biomedical requirements, such as high saturation magnetization and good polydispersity. The synthesis can also be applied to produce FF-Chitosan-198Au that has great potential as a brachytherapy agent, which will reduce the nuclear waste and potential danger of radiation received by workers during synthesis.

In this study, Iron Oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles water based ferrofluid, was synthesized by co-precipitation method. XRD was used to study the structural characterization of the sample and to measure the size of the crystallites (using Scherrer equation). TEM was utilized to examine the shape, the size distribution and the morphology of the nanoparticles. VSM was carried out to measure the magnetic properties (like Mr, Ms and Hc) of the Fe3O4 (magnetite) nanoparticle and magnetite ferrofluid at 80 and 300 K. The results indicate that the average size of the magnetite roughly spherical shape nanoparticles is 13nm. The VSM results show that the magnetite ferrofluid contains single domain magnetic nanoparticles with superparamagnetic behavior. In addition, the magnetic measurements demonstrate that with decreasing the temperature of the ferrofluid, its magnetic softness decreases while its anisotropy increases.

Obtaining nanoscale materials has allowed for the miniaturization of components, which has led to the possibility of achieving more efficient devices with faster functions and much lower costs. While hydroxyapatite [HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] is considered the most widely used material for medical applications in orthopedics, dentistry, and general surgery, the magnesium (Mg) is viewed as a promising biodegradable and biocompatible implant material. Furthermore, Mg is regarded as a strong candidate for developing medical implants due to its biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. For this study, magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite (Ca10−xMgx (PO4)6 (OH)2, xMg = 0.1), 10MgHAp, suspensions were successfully obtained by an adapted and simple chemical co-precipitation method. The information regarding the stability of the nanosized 10MgHAp particles suspension obtained by ζ-potential analysis were confirmed for the first time by a non-destructive ultrasound-based technique. Structural and morphological studies of synthesized 10MgHAp were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD analysis of the 10MgHAp samples confirmed that a single crystalline phase associated to HAp with an average grain size about 93.3 nm was obtained. The FTIR-ATR spectra revealed that the 10MgHAp sample presented broader IR bands with less visible peaks when compared to a well-crystallized pure HAp. The SEM results evidenced uniform MgHAp nanoparticles with spherical shape. The antimicrobial activity of the 10MgHAp suspension against gram-positive strains (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212), gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853), as well as a fungal strain (Candida albicans ATCC 90029) were evaluated.

Among the porous media, hydroxyapatite (HA) possesses good biocompatibility and bioactivity properties with respect to bone cells and tissues, due to its similarity with the hard tissues of the body. In this study, mesoporous HA was synthesized using a soft-templating technique via a self-assembly between HA and cationic surfactant decyltrimethylammonium bromide (C10TAB), which is analogous to the synthesis of mesoporous silica MCM-41. This co-precipitation method involved formation of hexagonal-phase micelle template by the surfactant and the precipitation of HA surrounding the micelle. After ageing, calcination was carried out to remove the templates, revealing the pores as well as to produce more crystalline and more stable HA structure. This study showed that instead of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) which was conventionally used, C10TAB could also be used to synthesize single-phase mesoporous HA with pore size ca. 3 nm. Ageing temperature of 120 °C, for 24 hours was found sufficient for the formation of mesoporous HA. The adsorption properties of mesoporous HA was able to be improved by increasing the water content of C10TAB-phosphate solution and by constant pH adjustment during the mixing of solutions.

Magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with average sizes of 5.11, 10.53, and 14.76 nm were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method. The surface area of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (average size of 5.11 nm) had the largest value of 167 m2/g. The adsorption capacity for removing arsenic (As(V)) from water at 3 ppm concentration was investigated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results showed that the As(V) adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 was dependent on particle size. The maximum absorption efficiency (Hmax) reached 99.02%, the equilibrium time was 30 min; the maximum Langmuir isotherm adsorption capacity was 14.46 mg/g with Fe3O4 nanoparticle an average size of 5 nm. The results indicate that reducing the size of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is a promised way for As(V) ion removal from water and wastewater treatment.

This study presents comparisons between the morphologies and photoluminescence properties of tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles prepared by two methods, namely the sol gel and the co-precipitation methods. The characteristics of the particles were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particles prepared using the sol-gel method have a finer particle size and more spherical shape. However, no significant difference was observed in terms of morphology and homogeneity in the samples produced by either the co-precipitation or sol-gel methods. In contrast, the photoluminescence study shows that the emission peak for powder prepared using the sol-gel method was higher than that of the co-precipitation method.
