Cobalt ferrite is an important magnetic material due to their large magneto-crystalline anisotropy, high cohercivity, moderate saturation magnetization and chemical stability.In this study, cobalt ferrites Nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method and a new microemulsion route. We examined the cation occupancy in the spinel structure based on the “Rietveld with energies...

Nanoconfined water exhibits various interesting properties, which are not only of fundamental importance but also practical use. Because reverse micelles (RMs) provide versatile ways to prepare nanoconfined water, the understanding their physicochemical properties is essential for developing efficient applications. Although in RMs could be affected by its interaction with RM interface, details ...

Purpose: This paper focuses on the characterization of polymeric micelle-forming tuberculostatic prodrugs and the antimycobacterial activity of these prodrugs. Method: By the condensation of hydroxymethylpyrazinamide, isoniazid and rifampin with free carboxyl groups on the copolymer poly(ethyleneglycol)-poly(aspartic acid), micelle-forming carrier-drug conjugates were obtained. These micelles w...

The present work reports the effect of confinement, and temperature therein, on the conformational fluctuation dynamics of domain-I of human serum albumin (HSA) by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The water-pool of a sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse micelle has been used as the confined environment. It was observed that the conformational fluctuation time is abou...

Nickel–zinc ferrites are some of the most interesting soft magnetic materials. They have been extensively used in a number of electronic devices because of their low magnetic coercivity, low eddy current related to their high electrical resistivity, and they are especially suitable for high–frequency applications (large permeability). New low-temperature synthesis methods have been developed to...
