Effects of protective agents such as PVA and PVP were also described here. We show that the acidic pH of PVP solution also affects the interaction between protective agents and silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by ultra violet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

The annealed ZnO thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm. The morphologies and phase structure show that the ZnO/glass film is formed by a layer of ZnO nano-sized particles with average diameter of 40 nm. X-ray diffraction results showed polycrystalline wurtzite with a highest c-axis preferential (002) orientation with the only sharp X-ray diffraction peak at 34.40 corresponding to the hexagonal ZnO. The high c-axis orientation improved and the grain size increased by the annealing temperature.

These nanoparticles were prepared by two-step desolvation method. The body distribution of colloidal drug delivery systems was mainly influenced by two physicochemical properties namely particle size and surface characteristics. The influence of several factors on the fabrication process including the amount of desolvating agent, concentration of gelatin, temperature, the amount of glutaraldehyde, organic solvent addition rate and agitation speed was investigated herein. The smallest size of achieved nanoparticles was 168 nm and the largest size was 460 nm which is suitable for drug delivery. The amount of cross linker and organic solvent addition rate have less effect on produced nanoparticle size. The study indicated that a minimum size could be obtained with temperature 60º C, 75 ml acetone and 250 μL glutaraldehyde. To characterize the nanoparticle sample, AFM and SEM were employed whilst size distribution was measured by photon correlation spectroscopy. The mechanistic of the optimum conditions for preparing protein nanoparticles as well as their characterization are discussed.}, keywords = {Gelatin,drug carrier,nanoparticle evaluation,photon correlation spectroscopy}, url = {https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_3995.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijnnonline.net/article_3995_b130654c2fdcfb541ba323fb7e77f7c1.pdf} } @article { author = {Bahari, A. and Delshadmanesh, M.}, title = {Photoemission measurements of Ultrathin SiO2 film at low take-off angles}, journal = {International Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {31-34}, year = {2008}, publisher = {Iranian Nanotechnology Society}, issn = {1735-7004}, eissn = {2423-5911}, doi = {}, abstract = {The surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices.
