The NMR-based solvent relaxation technique, a non-invasive tool to characterize the surface of particles, which are dispersed in a liquid, was applied to characterize the nanoparticles’ aggregation structure. The liquid molecules in a dispersion undergo a rapid exchange between the bound states at the interface and highly mobile free states in a bulk liquid. The relaxation time of the liquid molecules bound on the particle surface is shorter than that of the free states liquid. By detecting how much liquid is bound on the particle surface, the wetted specific surface area (SNMR) can be determined. In this study, it was clarified that the water adsorbed at more than a 1.138 layer from the silica surface can be detected by the NMR and the maximum limitation ranged from 2.160 and 3.336 layers. The model aggregates with an artificial solid neck among the particles were mixed with the silica nanoparticle dispersion. Although the determined SNMR was underestimated compared to SBET from gas adsorption, even a low ratio (5 mass%) of the model aggregates in the dispersion can be detected.

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment. Wherever their sources are present, the particles can be released into the air forming microbiological aerosols. Although most of their particles cause no harm to the exposed individuals, some of their propagules may have infectious or allergenic potential and may carry toxic or irritant substances and components. Their inhalation usually poses a significant health risk and is responsible for numerous adverse outcomes, from allergic reactions, infections and toxic responses to various nonspecific symptoms. This review article provides fundamental background information on the role of microorganisms in the environment, defines and characterizes environmental sources of microbial aerosols, describes microbial abilities for airborne transport and comments on their role in atmospheric processes, discusses their physical and biological characteristics which result in adverse health outcomes observed in exposed individuals. The paper characterizes comprehensively numerous sampling and analysis techniques involved in the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of microbial aerosols together with their practical applications, presents strategies applied in the assessment of harmful microbial agents formed by bioaerosols, explains the ways of creating hygienic standards (understood here as reference/threshold limits) for microbiological aerosols conditioned by both medical and environmental determinants, and comments on their usefulness in the control and protection of environment and health.

The salt hydrate heat storage phase change material (PCM) has a promising prospect of application and has become a research hotspot because of the advantages of high thermal storage density, high thermal conductivity, moderate phase change temperature, and low price. However, some problems have restricted the application of salt hydrate heat storage materials, such as phase separation, supercooling, and corrosion of the metal container. A microencapsulated PCM using the microencapsulated technology of solid PCM coated packaging with core-shell structure composite material is an effective method to solve the above problems. In this paper, the research situations involving microencapsulated salt hydrate are analysed. This review introduces the selection of core and shell materials, compares the different preparation methods of encapsulated salt hydrate PCMs and summarizes the application fields.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit unique size-dependent physiochemical properties that make them attractive for a wide range of applications. However, the large-scale availability of precision AuNPs has been minimal. Not only must the required nanoparticles be of precise size and morphology, but they must also be of exceedingly narrow size distribution to yield accurate and reliable performance. The present study aims to synthesize precision AuNPs and to assess the advantages and limitations of the Turkevich method-one of the common chemical synthesis technique. Colloidal AuNPs from 15 nm to 50 nm in diameter were synthesized using the Turkevich method. The effect of the molar ratio of the reagent mixture (trisodium citrate to gold chloride), the scaled-up batch size, the initial gold chloride concentration, and the reaction temperature was studied. The morphology, optical property, surface chemistry, and chemical composition of AuNPs were thoroughly characterized. It was determined that the as-synthesized AuNPs between 15 nm and 30 nm exhibit well-defined size and shape, and narrow size distribution (PDI < 0.20). However, the AuNPs became more polydispersed and less spherical in shape as the particle size increased.

A continuous, compact and simple process was developed to synthesize micro- and nanoparticles of iron oxide. The process combines the spraying (pulverization) of an aqueous solution of iron nitrate in a fluidized bed reactor containing coarse and hot glass beads ( T = 200 °C) for the production of solids and a transported bed reactor for calcination ( T = 490 °C). The intermediate product formed in the fluidized bed reactor is 2-line ferrihydrite, while the calcination reactor allows the production of hematite micro- and nanoparticles. These particles are characterized by a narrow size distribution, a mean size of 0.5 μm, a specific surface area of 24 m 2 g –1 and a density of 4499 kg m –3 . Particles are made up of small clusters of crystallites having an average size of 47 nm and a low internal porosity (0.12). The reaction mechanism was studied using a muffle furnace and a lab convective dryer. It was found that several steps are involved leading first to the production of iron nitrate dihydrate after the removal of the solution water, as well as two and then five molecules of water of hydration. After that, the elimination of nitrate leads to the production of ferrihydrite. Finally, ferrihydrite is transformed into hematite due to the removal of residual nitrate and water of hydroxylation.

Classic crystallization describes a burst nucleation followed by a layer-by-layer atom deposition. The non-classic crystallization refers to particle mediated crystallization process. Different crystallization routes lead to the formation of diverse structured materials. Here we report a rational synthesis of silver particles by selecting the crystallization routes. Silver particles were synthesized by a solution reduction approach. The crystallization routes were regulated by adding amino acids to stabilize silver ions which leads to the decrease of the reduction rate. Without amino acids, silver dendrites were largely formed. With the addition of amino acids, flower-like (low concentration of amino acids) and spherical silver (high concentration of amino acid) particles were synthesized. Three kinds of amino acids were tested and the similar results were obtained. The time-dependent characterization on the evolution of silver particles showed that silver dendrites were formed by the classic atom deposition while the other two morphologies were formed by the combination of classic and non-classic crystallization. The silver particles synthesized were evaluated for ethylene epoxidation and the dendritic particles demonstrated a high selectivity.

Immunization can be traced back to classical China. Modern immunization reduces the risk of infection by attenuating or killing the pathogen or using non-infectious antigens to elicit the immune response. The challenge of immunization is to raise a robust protective response without infecting the individual or overstimulating the immune response, and this can be achieved by using nanoparticle delivery systems to specifically target the innate immune system with known antigens and where necessary include an adjuvant to enhance the efficacy. These systems can be targeted to mucosal sites that are located throughout the body with the nasal and pulmonary routes of administration allowing ease of access. Macrophages are the first line of defense of the innate immune system and are the host cell for primary intracellular infection by several respiratory pathogens notably mycobacteria and streptococci. The breadth of nanoparticle technology available to deliver vaccines has been explored and consideration of its value in nasal and pulmonary delivery is addressed specifically. islet

The scheme of DLVO theory and the concept of fractal structure of flocs applied to the suspension of montmorillonite have revealed out the unique nature of this clay dispersion. In this context, two major regimes are recognized. The first is the electrostatically dispersed regime. And the second is the coagulated regime. In the former, the formation of a diffusive electric double layer (EDL) characterized by reciprocal Debye length measured from the surface of the particle is distinctively important. Intrinsic viscosity with electroviscous effects and yield stress are interpreted by the steric presence of EDL. In the latter, the unit of transportation is a coagulated floc with finite cohesive strength. Sedimentation process reflecting these factors is carefully observed to recognize the turbulence generation by the formation of large flocs at the moment of gel collapse. Waiting time prior to gel collapse was found to be determined reflecting the pH-dependent charging behavior. By taking into account the effect pH-dependent charge, the DLVO based two regimes are further categorized into five. The developed tools can be extensively used for the system involved with different ionic species, pH, volume fraction and organic substances.

A continuous flow reaction process in which a metal salt solution is rapidly mixed with high-temperature water was employed to achieve rapid heating up to supercritical conditions. A quarter of a century has passed since the supercritical hydrothermal method was first proposed. This paper introduces recent advances in science and technology related to the supercritical process. Process design, kinetics, reaction atmosphere (redox) control, morphology control, organic modification of particles, nanocatalysts, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials are reviewed for promising applications of the supercritical process.
