Synthesis And Characterization Of Cuo Nanosheets In Polyvinylpyrrolidone By Quick Precipitation Method, Mahdi Shahmiri Jan 2013

Synthesis And Characterization Of Cuo Nanosheets In Polyvinylpyrrolidone By Quick Precipitation Method, Mahdi Shahmiri

In this project, CuO nanosheets were grown successfully in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) by a simple and quick chemical method in the absence of templates. Copper nitrate, PVP and sodium hydroxide were used as copper precursor, stabilizer and accelerator, respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The result of the XRD and EDAX confirmed the formation of pure single-phase CuO. Generation of the CuO nanosheets and nanorods were confirmed by UV–visible spectra. FE-SEM depicted that layered …


Synthesis, Characterization And Nonlinear Optical Properties Of Silver/Pva Nanocomposites, Mahdi Shahmiri Jan 2012

Silver/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposites are prepared via quick precipitation method, using hydrazine as a reducing agent. Preparing of silver/PVA nanocomposites by this method is done for the first time. The samples are characterized by Uv-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Nonlinear optical properties are carried out by Z-scan technique using a blue CW laser beam operated at wavelength 405 nm. It is shown that the synthesized samples have negative nonlinear refractive index and the magnitude is in the order of 10􀀀8. The nonlinear refractive index increases as amount of reducing agent increases.

Fabrication And Characterization Of Graphene Hydrogel Via Hydrothermal Approach As A Scaffold For Preliminary Study Of Cell Growth, Huang Nay Ming Jan 2011

Fabrication And Characterization Of Graphene Hydrogel Via Hydrothermal Approach As A Scaffold For Preliminary Study Of Cell Growth, Huang Nay Ming

Huang Nay Ming

Three-dimensional assembly of graphene hydrogel is rapidly attracting the interest of researchers because of its wide range of applications in energy storage, electronics, electrochemistry, and waste water treatment. Information on the use of graphene hydrogel for biological purposes is lacking, so we conducted a preliminary study to determine the suitability of graphene hydrogel as a substrate for cell growth, which could potentially be used as building blocks for biomolecules and tissue engineering applications. A three-dimensional structure of graphene hydrogel was prepared via a simple hydrothermal method using two-dimensional large-area graphene oxide nanosheets as a precursor. The concentration and lateral size …
