bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. bi2s3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (abs) copolymer. the thermal stability behavior of abs filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

Capping agents, key for nanoparticle stability, may hugely influence chemical behaviour. We show that differently capped gold nanoparticles, with either citrate or cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) capping agents, show qualitatively different electron transfer properties. Specifically through cyclic voltammetry and nanoimpact studies the CTAB promoted dissolution of gold nanoparticles is s...

This study aims to investigate the effect of alkaline pH on bottom-up synthesis nanocomposites (NCs) containing terbium sulfide nanoparticles (Tb2S3 NPs), where chitosan (CS) was employed as a capping agent, along with evaluation antibacterial activity these NCs. The NCs were characterized using spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX, Raman, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and DLS), zeta-potential, TGA. results FE-SEM, FTIR ...
