Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite with Antibacterial Properties Using a Microwave-Assisted Combustion Method.

ABSTRACT: The prevention of implant-associated infections has been increasing clinically in orthopedic surgery. Hydroxyapatite with antibacterial properties was synthesized using a microwave-assisted combustion method. High crystallinity at low temperature can be achieved using this method. The synthesized hydroxyapatite exhibited a superior clear zone for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used for the radical investigation. The application of intelligent ink testing and an antioxidant assay using DPPH reduction were also used to confirm the existence of radicals. These techniques provided data confirming that radicals are responsible for the antibacterial properties. The synthesized antibacterial hydroxyapatite would be a good candidate for the prevention any infection with medical implants and injection materials causing failure in bone repair.

Antibacterial performance of Ag nanoparticles and AgGO nanocomposites prepared via rapid microwave-assisted synthesis method.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles and silver-graphene oxide nanocomposites were fabricated using a rapid and green microwave irradiation synthesis method. Silver nanoparticles with narrow size distribution were formed under microwave irradiation for both samples. The silver nanoparticles were distributed randomly on the surface of graphene oxide. The Fourier transform infrared and thermogravimetry analysis results showed that the graphene oxide for the AgNP-graphene oxide (AgGO) sample was partially reduced during the in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Both silver nanoparticles and AgGO nanocomposites exhibited stronger antibacterial properties against Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli) than against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphyloccocus aureus and Staphyloccocus epidermidis). The AgGO nanocomposites consisting of approximately 40 wt.% silver can achieve antibacterial performance comparable to that of neat silver nanoparticles.

Alkali Niobate Powder Synthesis Using an Emerging Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Method.

Project description:For more than five decades, alkali niobate-based materials (KxNa1-xNbO3) have been one of the most promising lead-free piezoelectric materials researched to be used in electronics, photocatalysis, energy storage/conversion and medical applications, due to their important health and environmentally friendly nature. In this paper, our strategy was to synthetize the nearest reproductible composition to KxNa1-xNbO3 (KNN) with x = 0.5, placed at the limit of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) with the presence of both polymorphic phases, orthorhombic and tetragonal. The wet synthesis route was chosen to make the mix crystal powders, starting with the suspension preparation of Nb2O5 powder and KOH and NaOH alkaline solutions. Hydrothermal microwave-assisted maturation (HTMW), following the parameter variation T = 200-250 °C, p = 47-60 bar and dwelling time of 30-90 min, was performed. All powders therefore synthesized were entirely KxN1-xNbO3 solid solutions with x = 0.06-0.69, and the compositional, elemental, structural and morphological characterization highlighted polycrystalline particle assemblage with cubic and prismatic morphology, with sizes between 0.28 nm and 2.95 μm and polymorphic O-T phase coexistence, and a d33 piezoelectric constant under 1 pC/N of the compacted unsintered and unpoled discs were found.

Large-scale and fast synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite powder by a microwave-hydrothermal method.

Project description:A microwave-hydrothermal (M-H) method assisted with ultrasonic atomization precipitation was developed for large-scale and fast synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) powder. This technology combines the uniform mixing effect of ultrasonic atomization precipitation at high concentration with the rapid and uniform heating effect of the M-H method, aiming to obtain a high quality product with low agglomeration, homogeneous size distribution, accurate stoichiometry, and high purity while improving the yield. The influences of reaction temperature, reaction time and reactant concentration on the formation of nano-HAP were investigated. The results show that the crystallinity increases significantly and the diameter of nano-HAP increases to some extent, but the length does not change obviously while the reaction temperature increase from 60 °C to 160 °C and the reaction time increases from 1 minute to 40 minutes respectively. The crystallinity, dispersion and crystal size of nano-HAP do not change obviously while the concentration of Na2HPO4·12H2O increases from 0.06 mol L-1 to 0.4 mol L-1. When the reaction temperature is 160 °C, the reaction time is 40 min, and the concentration of Na2HPO4·12H2O is 0.4 mol L-1, the yield of nano-HAP powder achieved a maximum yield (0.033 kg L-1). The obtained nano-HAP powder exhibits a uniform size and good dispersibility, with a size of 87.62 ± 22.44 nm and crystallinity of 0.92, respectively. This study indicates that the M-H method assisted with ultrasonic atomization precipitation is a facile one-pot method for the rapid and large-scale synthesis of highly crystalline, dispersible nano-HAP particles.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Spectral Properties of Pyrrolidine-Fused Chlorin Derivatives.

Project description:In this work we pursued research involving the microwave-assisted N-alkylation of a NH pyrrolidine-fused chlorin with methyl 4-(bromomethyl) benzoate and subsequent ester hydrolysis as a straightforward strategy to obtain carboxylic acid functionality in the pyrrolidine-fused chlorin, as a single reaction product. We studied the reaction's scope by extending the N-alkylation of the free-base chlorin and its corresponding Zn(II) complex to other alkyl halides, including 1,4-diiodobutane, N-(2-bromoethyl)phthalimide, and 2-bromoethanaminium bromide. In addition, two new chlorin-dansyl dyads were synthesized by reacting dansyl chloride with the 2-aminoethyl pyrrolidine-fused chlorin (dyad 6) and NH pyrrolidine-fused chlorin (dyad 7). According to spectral studies, the linker length between the two fluorophores influences the response of the dyads to the solvent polarity. Because of the simplicity of these approaches, we believe it will enable access to a vast library of custom-tailored N-functionalized chlorins while preserving their important absorption and emission spectra as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer and photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of microorganisms.

Microwave-Assisted Auto-Combustion Synthesis of Binary/Ternary Co x Ni1-x Ferrite for Electrochemical Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution.

Project description:Enormous efforts have been dedicated to engineering low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts for both hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). For this, the current contribution reports the successful synthesis of binary/ternary metal ferrites (Co x Ni1-x Ferrite; x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0) by a simple one-step microwave technique and subsequently discusses its chemical and electrochemical properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis substantiated the phase purity of the as-obtained catalysts with various compositions. Additionally, the morphology of the nanoparticles was identified via transmission electron microscopy. Further, the vibrating sample magnetometer justified the ferromagnetic character of the as-prepared products. The electrochemical measurements revealed that the as-prepared materials required the overpotentials of 422-600 and 419-467 mV for HER and OER, respectively, to afford current densities of 10 mA cm-2. In the general sense, Ni cation substitution with Co influenced favorably toward both HER and OER. Among all synthesized electrocatalysts, Co0.9Ni0.1Ferrite displayed the highest performance in terms of OER in 1 M KOH solution, which is related to the synergistic effect of multiple parameters including the optimal substitution amount of Co, the highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, the smallest particle size among all samples (26.71 nm), and the lowest charge transfer resistance. The successful synthesis of ternary ferrites carried out for the first time via a microwave-assisted auto-combustion route opens up a new path for their applications in renewable energy technologies.

Synthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Properties, and In Vitro Studies of Selenium and Strontium Co-Substituted Hydroxyapatite.

Project description:In this study, as a measure to enhance the antimicrobial activity of biomaterials, the selenium ions have been substituted into hydroxyapatite (HA) at different concentration levels. To balance the potential cytotoxic effects of selenite ions (SeO32-) in HA, strontium (Sr2+) was co-substituted at the same concentration. Selenium and strontium-substituted hydroxyapatites (Se-Sr-HA) at equal molar ratios of x Se/(Se + P) and x Sr/(Sr + Ca) at (x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) were synthesized via the wet precipitation route and sintered at 900 °C. The effect of the two-ion concentration on morphology, surface charge, composition, antibacterial ability, and cell viability were studied. X-ray diffraction verified the phase purity and confirmed the substitution of selenium and strontium ions. Acellular in vitro bioactivity tests revealed that Se-Sr-HA was highly bioactive compared to pure HA. Se-Sr-HA samples showed excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus carnosus) bacterial strains. In vitro cell-material interaction, using human osteosarcoma cells MG-63 studied by WST-8 assay, showed that Se-HA has a cytotoxic effect; however, the co-substitution of strontium in Se-HA offsets the negative impact of selenium and enhanced the biological properties of HA. Hence, the prepared samples are a suitable choice for antibacterial coatings and bone filler applications.

Facile microwave-assisted synthesis of Klockmannite CuSe nanosheets and their exceptional electrical properties.

Project description:Klockmannite copper selenide nanosheets (CuSe NSs) are synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted method and fully characterized. The nanosheets have smooth surface and hexagonal shape. The lateral size is 200-500 nm × 400-800 nm and the thickness is 55 ± 20 nm. The current-voltage characteristics of CuSe NS films show unique Ohmic and high-conducting behaviors, comparable to the thermally-deposited gold electrode. The high electrical conductivity of CuSe NSs implies their promising applications in printed electronics and nanodevices. Moreover, the local electrical variation is observed, for the first time, within an individual CuSe NS at low bias voltages (0.1 ~ 3 V) by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). This is ascribed to the quantum size effect of NS and the presence of Schottky barrier. In addition, the influence of the molar ratio of Cu(2+)/SeO2, reaction temperature, and reaction time on the growth of CuSe NSs is explored. The template effect of oleylamine and the intrinsic crystal nature of CuSe NS are proposed to account for the growth of hexagonal CuSe NSs.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Iron-Based Aerogels with Tailored Textural and Morphological Properties.

Project description:Iron aerogels have been synthesized by microwave heating for the first time. Therefore, it is essential to optimize this synthesis process to evaluate the possibility of obtaining nanometric materials with tailored properties and fitting them to the needs of different applications. Herein, the effect of the ratio between reagents and the time of synthesis on the final textural, morphological, and structural properties has been evaluated. The micro-meso-macroporosity of the samples can be tailored by modifying the ratio between reagents, whereas the time of synthesis has only a slight effect on the microporosity. Both the proportion between reagents and the time of synthesis are essential to controlling the nanometric morphology, making it possible to obtain either cluster- or flake-type structures. Regarding the chemical and structural composition, the samples are mainly composed of iron(II) and iron(III) oxides. However, the percentage of iron(II) can be modulated by changing the ratio between reagents, which implies that it is possible to obtain materials from highly magnetic materials to materials without magnetic properties. This control over the properties of iron aerogels opens a new line of opportunities for the use of this type of material in several fields of applications such as electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, and electrical and electronic engineering.

Enhanced Synaptic Properties in Biocompatible Casein Electrolyte via Microwave-Assisted Efficient Solution Synthesis.

Project description:In this study, we fabricated an electric double-layer transistor (EDLT), a synaptic device, by preparing a casein biopolymer electrolyte solution using an efficient microwave-assisted synthesis to replace the conventional heating (heat stirrer) synthesis. Microwave irradiation (MWI) is more efficient in transferring energy to materials than heat stirrer, which significantly reduces the preparation time for casein electrolytes. The capacitance-frequency characteristics of metal-insulator-metal configurations applying the casein electrolyte prepared through MWI or a heat stirrer were measured. The capacitance of the MWI synthetic casein was 3.58 μF/cm2 at 1 Hz, which was higher than that of the heat stirrer (1.78 μF/cm2), confirming a stronger EDL gating effect. Electrolyte-gated EDLTs using two different casein electrolytes as gate-insulating films were fabricated. The MWI synthetic casein exhibited superior EDLT electrical characteristics compared to the heat stirrer. Meanwhile, essential synaptic functions, including excitatory post-synaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, signal filtering, and potentiation/depression, were successfully demonstrated in both EDLTs. However, MWI synthetic casein electrolyte-gated EDLT showed higher synaptic facilitation than the heat stirrer. Furthermore, we performed an MNIST handwritten-digit-recognition task using a multilayer artificial neural network and MWI synthetic casein EDLT achieved a higher recognition rate of 91.24%. The results suggest that microwave-assisted casein solution synthesis is an effective method for realizing biocompatible neuromorphic systems.
