In this research, CuO powder was prepared by low temperature hydrothermal method. Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu (NO3)2.3H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as the starting precursors. The final pH value of the mixed solution was adjusted to 9 by 4M NaOH and treated at 100 oC and 200 oC for 4 and 6 h. The black fine powder was obtained after dried at 80 oC for 4 h. The phase was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A single phase of monoclinic structure of CuO powder prepared by low temperature hydrothermal method at 200 oC for 4 and 6 h was obtained without calcination step. The morphology and particle size were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology was flower-like in shape and the average particle size in range of 0.3×0.7 μm. The element composition was indicated by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The chemical compositions showed the characteristic X-ray energy of copper (Kα = 0.95 keV) and oxygen (Kα = 0.53 keV). The functional group was indentified by fourier transform spectrophotometry (FTIR). The wavenumber at 433-531 cm-1 was corresponded to vibration of Cu-O stretching.

Pure ZnS and 3 mol% of Ni doped ZnS nano powders are prepared by chemical co-precipitation method. Properties of ZnS: Ni2+ nanoparticles are studied by X-ray diffraction Spectra (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), Photoluminescence (PL), Absorption Spectra, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). From XRD data, it conform the structure of ZnS, and particle size of pure and Ni doped ZnS data indicates the incorporation of Ni2+ in ZnS nanocrystal lattice. Raman spectra for pure and Ni doped samples exhibited vibrational modes confirm the structure of ZnS. Photoluminescence spectra reveal that the emission peaks are in UV and visible regions; this is confirming the absorption spectra. SEM micrographs show spherical morphology, and chemical compositions of samples are in stoichiometric proportions. TEM micro graphs show the spherical surface morphology and average particle size for pure and Ni2+ doped nanoparticles are in the range of 2–3 nm, this is good agreement with XRD results. M–H curves from VSM show room temperature ferromagnetism.

BACKGROUND: There are a lot of different types of sunscreen products (oils, sticks, gels, creams, lotions) which can be found on the world's market. Sunscreen product that contains active chemical ingredients sometimes has harmful effects on the skin. Sunflower oil contains vitamin E and acts as a natural sunscreen which can absorb UVB light. The average droplet size of nanoemulsion is between 100 and 500 nm and do not show the problems of stability (creaming, flocculation, coalescence, and sedimentation), which are commonly associated with macroemulsions. AIM: The aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate the sunflower oil nanoemulsion as a sunscreen. METHODS: Sunflower oil nanoemulsions were prepared by spontaneous emulsification method with 3 formulas F1 (Tween 80 38%, sorbitol 22%), F2 (Tween 80 36%, sorbitol 24%), F3 (Tween 80 34%, sorbitol 26%) and 5% sunflower oil as a sunscreen substance. The nanoemulsions were evaluated for particle size, physical stability in room temperature (25 ± 2°C), low temperature (4 ± 2°C) and high temperature (40 ± 2°C) during experiment for 12 weeks of storage, centrifugation at 3750 rpm for 5 hours, viscosity, pH, freeze-thaw test and sun protection value (SPF) value by in vitro. RESULTS: The results of nanoemulsion evaluation showed that nanoemulsion formula F1 had the smallest average particle size of 124.47 nm with yellowish colour, clear, transparent, pH value (6.5 ± 0.1), viscosity value (225 ± 25 cP), did not show any separation or creaming in the centrifugation, and stable during experiment for 12 weeks of storage at room temperature, low temperature and high temperature. The SPF value of all nanoemulsion preparations was higher than that of the emulsion. CONCLUSION: The preparation of the sunflower oil nanoemulsion with a ratio of Tween 80 and sorbitol (38: 22) produces a stable nanoemulsion during the experiment for 12 weeks storage at the room, low and high temperature. The nanoemulsion preparation has higher SPF values compared to the emulsion. This nanoemulsion formulation could be considered more effective in sunscreen cosmetic use compare to the emulsion.

This study evaluates the physical properties of freeze dried tropical (guava, sapota, and papaya) fruit powders. Thermal stability and weight loss were evaluated using TGA-DSC and IR, which showed pectin as the main solid constituent. LCR meter measured electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor. Functional groups assessed by FTIR showed presence of chlorides, and O–H and N–H bonds in guava, chloride and C–H bond in papaya, and chlorides, and C=O and C–H bonds in sapota. Particle size and type of starch were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and microstructure through scanning electronic microscopy. A semicrystalline profile and average particle size of the fruit powders were evidenced by X-ray diffraction and lamellar/spherical morphologies by SEM. Presence of A-type starch was observed in all three fruits. Dependence of electric and dielectric properties on frequency and temperature was observed.

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles and nanorods were synthesized by precipitation from saturated sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate aqueous solutions through co precipitation method. A new rout of synthesis was done by both using pulsed mixing method and controlling the addition of calcium nitrate. The effect of the agitation speed, and the temperature on particle size and morphology were investigated. Particles were characterized using X-ray Microanalysis, X-ray analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that increasing the mixer rotation speed from 3425 to 15900 (rpm) decreases the average particle size to 64±7 nm. A rapid nucleation then aggregation induced by excessive shear force phenomena could explain this observation. Moreover, by increasing the reaction temperature, the products were converted from nanoparticle to nanorods. The maximum attainable aspect ratio was 6.23 at temperature of 75°C and rotation speed of 3425. Generally, temperature raise promoted a significant homoepitaxial growth in one direction toward the formation of calcite nanorods. Overall, this study can open new avenues to control the morphology of the calcium carbonate nanostructures.

The fabrication of nanospinel zinc chromite (ZnCr2O4) crystals by the means of thermal treatment method from an aqueous solution containing metal nitrates, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and deionized water was described in this study. The samples were calcined at various temperatures ranging from 773 to 973 K for the decomposition of the organic compounds and crystallization of the nanocrystals. PVP was used as capping agent to control the agglomeration of the particles. The characterization studies of the fabricated samples were carried out by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). The corresponding peaks of Zn, Cr and O were observed in the EDX spectrum of the sample which confirms the formation of ZnCr2O4. The XRD patterns also confirmed the formation of the single faced nanocrystallines of spinel ZnCr2O4 with a face-centered cubic structure. The average particle size of the synthesized crystals was also determined from the XRD patterns using the Scherers formula which shows that the crystallite sizes increases with increase in calcination temperature and was in good agreement with the TEM images which shows cubical ZnCr2O4 nanocrystals with uniform morphology and particle size distributions. The ESR spectra confirmed the existence of unpaired electron in the fabricated samples and the increase in g-factor and decreases in resonant magnetic field (Hr) were observed as the calcination temperature increases.
