Abstract:

Calcium carbonate nano-particles were synthesized by a reverse micro-emulsion method at room temperature with Tween® 80 and Span® 80 as co-surfactants. The nano-particles synthesized were surface modified by stearic acid. An important operating variable in the Span 80-Tween 80/toluene/water reverse micro-emulsion system, the ω-value (water/surfactant molar ratio) was investigated. The material was characterized by SEM, TEM, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, UV-VIS and TGA/DTA techniques. The size of the nano-particles was determined by TEM as well as XRD data for various concentrations of surfactants. The results showed that the size of the nano-particles was influenced by the concentration of the surfactants in the micro-emulsion system. The XRD analysis at room temperature showed single phase formation of calcite. FT-IR confirmed the formation of calcite with characteristic absorption bands observed at 712, 881 and 1460 cm-1, corresponding to ν4, ν2, and ν3 modes of CO3-2 absorption bands of calcite. The results of the UV-VIS spectrophotometric analysis indicated that the calcite (CaCO3) is an indirect gap material [(5.60 eV (30 wt.% surfactant), 5.40 eV (36 wt.% surfactant) and 5.36 eV (42 wt.%surfactant)] at room temperature.

Synthesis of Iron Yttrium Garnet Nanoparticles by Reverse Microemulsion Method

Colloidal nanodispersion of Iron Yttrium Garnet has been preparedbymixing the two ternary mixture of Triton X-100 (surfactant), n-heptane and aqueous solution that differing only in the aqueous phase.Ethanolwas added as cosurfactant and mixed them by ultrasound bath. By mixing these twomicroemulsions, Iron Yttrium garnet (Y3 Fe5 O12) nanodispersionwas obtained. Solids were settled by centrifuge...
