SiO2-coated Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. The effects of SiO2coating on the magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated. The structural, morphological and magnetic properties of as-prepared sample were characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, transmission electron […]
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. In the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using seed aqueous extract of Olea europaea (Oe) and its antibacterial activity. UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), […]
In this work, sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the fluorohydroxyapatite (nano-FHA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2−xFx) nanopowders. The advantages of the sol-gel method over other methods are precise control of composition, low processing temperature, and better homogeneity. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, phosphorous pentoxide and Tetrabuthylammonium fluoride were used, respectively, as P, Ca, and F precursors with a Ca:P ratio […]
ZnO- nanoparticles with an average particle size of 24 nm were successfully synthesized using the microwave assisted sol- gel technique. Structural and morphological properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy disperse spectrum (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The band gap energy was measured […]
