Facile Synthesis of BaWO4Sub-Micron Sized Octahedron via a Microemulsion Method

Facile synthesis of nano-sized ZnO by direct precipitation method

In this contribution we are presenting a simple precipitation method to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using zinc nitrate and urea in aqueous solution. The obtained precipitated compound was calcined and structurally characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier tr...

Toward a facile synthesis of spherical sub-micron mesoporous silica: Effect of surfactant concentration

In this paper, a facile method for preparing sub-micron spherical mesoporous silica by the sol-gel process and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template was reported. Moreover, the effect of surfactant concentration on the specific surface area and the total pore volume was investigated. The specific surface area, pore characteristic, morphology, chemical comp...

Synthesis of Nanoparticles: Microemulsion Method

A Facile Solvothermal Method for Synthesis of CuInS2 Nanostructures

CuInS2 nanostructures were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant-free solvothermal  route.  In  this  synthesis,  thiosemicarbazide  and thioglycolic acid were used as sulfur sources. The effects of different parameters such as type of precursor and time on the morphology and particle  size  of  the  samples  have  been  investigated.  The nanostructures  were  characterized  by  means ...

Synthesis of Polysiloxanes In Microemulsion Via ring opening of D4

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) in microemulsion with acidic catalyst. The structure and properties of microemulsion were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Photo Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS). The effect of the variation in pH value, amoun...
