For this purpose, reed plant flour, high density polyethylene, and oxidizedpoly-propylene compatibilizer in the specified value were mixed into the internal mixer for 6 min and after that, theresulting amorphous materials turned to the granules using a laboratory mill. Finally, the granules turned to reed-plasticplates using a hot press. Mechanical tests such as bending and tensile resistances and their modulus and physicalproperties such as water absorption and thickness swelling in 2 and 24 h were measured. A fourier transform infraredspectroscopy machine was used to check the modification of oxidized poly-propylene and the morphology of thecomposites was studied by electron microscopy images. The results demonstrated that with increasing thecompatibilizer, the mechanical properties were linearly increased, while the water absorption and thickness swellingwere decreased. Electron microscopy images showed that improved adhesion at the interface between the reed plantflour and polymer fibers. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy also showed that due to the oxidation ofpolypropylene, hydrophilic regions are formed in it. Manuscript profile -

Even though some of this husk is converted into end products such as feedstock and adsorbent most is burnt openly, causing environmental and health problems especially in poor and developing countries. Therefore, it is very important to find pathways to fully utilize the rice husk. Material and Methodology: In this study, the fabrication and characterization of ZSM-12 zeolite using rice husk ash as an alternative cheap silica source, and synthesis and characterization of magnesium oxide nanoparticles in ZSM-12 matrix by solid state reaction and ion exchange methods is reported. Disk diffusion method and MIC were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles on gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) strains of bacteria compared to standard commercial antibiotic disks. Findings: Synthesized samples were evaluated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. XRD results revealed diffraction peaks for each of the two compounds in the MgO/ZSM-12 nanocomposite. Discussion and Conclusion: Transmission electron microscopy image of nanocomposite indicated that nanoparticles size of MgO is ~ 35 nm. Nanocomposite exhibited antibacterial activity with minimal inhibitory concentration of 96 µg/mL against E. coli and S. aureus. Manuscript profile -

Due to the high amount of volatile nitrogen, low quality fish powder is not used in the industry, and as a result, it can be use as cheap and biodegradable filler in wood plastic. In this research, the effect of fish powder amount, substrate type, and coupling agent (MAPE) amount on the physical characteristics of wood-plastic composite was investigated. The results showed that by increasing fish powder amount and decreasing coupling agent amount, the highest amount of degradability is obtained. Manuscript profile -

After the fabrication stage, FTIR tests were performed to study the surface modification of fillers, UTM to determine the flexural strength and stiffness test. Then, SEM images were obtained from the fracture surfaces of the bending test. The results of the UTM test were about 23% higher than the standard level of ISO4049 (93MPa) and the hardness test result was 84.4 HV, which is in the acceptable range for dental composites. FTIR peaks related to quartz and barium silicate glass systems showed the success of the silanization process in these two systems. In general, it seems that the composition prepared in this study can meet the requirements of a dental composite. However, further studies need to be carried out. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, the methods that despite being cheap and simple, have very high selectivity and sensitivity, are of interest. In this study, a nanocomposite, abbreviated as ZIF-8@CO-TA, was synthesized using the zeolite imidazolate framework, cobalt, and tannic acid. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The glassy carbon electrode modified with this nanocomposite was applied for simultaneous measurement of dopamine and tyrosine, in pH=6, by using electrochemical techniques of differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and chronoamperometry. In the range of 10.0-140.0 μM using differential pulse voltammetry, the detection limits of 3.2 and 6.38 μM were obtained for dopamine and tyrosine, respectively. The glassy carbon electrode modified with this nanocomposite showed good long-term stability. Manuscript profile -

MoO3 and Mn2O3-MoO3 oxides were loaded on acid-washed zeolites by impregnation method and MoO3/Clin and Mn2O3-MoO3/Clin composites with 18 wt. % of oxides were prepared. The prepared composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, and EDX techniques. The presence of peaks related to the MoO3 and Mn2O3 oxides in the XRD pattern of composites and the existence of approximately spherical nanoparticles with sizes lower than 100 nm in their SEM images confirmed the preparation of composites. The catalytic activity of nanocomposites for removing thiophene was studied by the adsorption/oxidation method and the effect of solvent type, temperature, and oxidant on removal efficiency of thiophene was investigated. The results showed that Mn2O3-MoO3/Clin composite has better catalytic activity than MoO3/Clin in removing thiophene. Moreover, the increasing of temperature and applying NaClO as an oxidant improved the thiophene's degradation efficiency by this composite. The highest removal efficiency was obtained at 298 K in water-ethanol solvent by using oxidant for Mn2O3-MoO3/Clin composite which was about 66%. By changing the solvent from a polar solution (water and ethanol) to a nonpolar solvent (n-hexane) the removal efficiency decreased. Manuscript profile -

In this article, the nanostructured magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) semiconductor was synthesized and employed for the production of hydrogen gas through the light-induced splitting of alkaline H2S solution and photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange–a refractory azo dye. Investigations revealed that the synthesized photocatalyst has the ability to destroy pollutant and produce hydrogen. To improve the photocatalyst activity, graphene oxide (GO) precursor was prepared through the modified Hummers method and utilized directly in the hydrothermal synthesis of MgFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite. The evidence showed that the presence of rGO (reduced graphene oxide) and the formation of nanocomposite can significantly increase the decolorization ability and hydrogen release in terms of enlarging the photocatalyst surface area, slowing down the electron-hole recombination, and enhancing photon absorption. The degradation efficiency was 84% [measured after one hour operation of the photoreactor] and the rate of hydrogen release was 5567 µmol/h [per gram of photocatalyst], indicated the good performance of the nanocomposite photocatalyst in pollutant removal and fuel production Manuscript profile -

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method via chemical reduction process. This method was performed using zinc acetate salt as a metal precursor, soda as reductant and water as a solvent for 1 hour at a temperature of 80°C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to evaluate the crystal structure, and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) to check the size of the particles and morphology of the samples. The mechanical properties of the samples were investigated. The obtained results showed that the moisture content in the optimal film was reduced to 1.01 x 10-8 g/m3 and the tensile strength and Young's modulus were increased to 0.492 MPa and 24.1 Pa, respectively. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli was evaluated by the agar well method and the final nanocomposite showed the highest antibacterial property with the non-growth halo of 0.64 mm. Cytotoxicity of the samples was recorded using the MTT assay method on the HEK293 cell line after 1, 3, and 5 days. The highest percentage of normal cell viability was observed at the concentration of 0.25 mg/ml of the sample and the final nanocomposite showed the highest cell viability. Based on the obtained results, nanocomposite containing zinc oxide nanoparticles and montmorillonite can have a good potential for use in food packaging industries. Manuscript profile -

In this work, Bi-MOF nanostructures were synthesized by laser ablation of bismuth target as a connector center, benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) as a bridging ligand, and methanol (MeOH) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. In the first step, three samples of Bi-MOF nanostructures were produced in three different ligand concentrations. Then MOF-graphene nanocomposites were produced by Nd:YAG pulsed laser ablation of graphite target in the three obtained Bi-MOF nanostructures samples. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study the crystal structure, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to determine functional groups, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to present the morphology, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to evaluate the band gap of the samples. The antibacterial activity of the samples was evaluated against Escherichia coli (E. coli) as Gram-negative bacterium and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) as Gram-positive bacterium. Based on the results, pulsed laser ablation is an environmentally friendly method that is able to produce MOF-graphene nanocomposites in a short period of time, and these nanostructures can be widely used, including in neutralizing harmful bacteria.

Photocatalytic removal of nitrate from water and conversion to nitrogen gas is of great importance. In this study, heterogeneous nanocomposite g-C3N4/kaolinite, due to its natural kaolin substrate has been considered to nitrate reduction in the presence of UV light. The results of nanocomposite photocatalyst analysis using FTIR, SEM, EDS, and XRD instruments have clearly shown that the surface of the kaolin is covered by graphitic carbon nitride. In this work, the nitrate aqueous solution containing nitrate ion (50 ppm) was subjected to a photocatalytic reaction. Nitrate removal results showed the highest rate of nitrate degradation in the first 60 minutes compared with graphitic carbon nitride and kaolin individually. With the removal efficiency of 93.15% using the above method, the initial concentration of 50 ppm reaches 3.5 ppm, nitrate ion, which is below the permissible level of nitrate according to the World Health Organization standard. Therefore, the use of nanocomposite is a convenient choice to remove nitrate from water due to the simplicity of the preparation and commercial access to the raw materials required for synthesis, as well as high efficiency and selectivity to N2 in nitrate degradation and non-contamination of effluent.

Vanadium (V) nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared in this study due to the formation of vanadium nanoparticles inside the swollen CMC hydrogels. The formation of vanadium (V) nanoparticles in hydrogels has been studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) experimental techniques. The XRD patterns analysis confirmed the formation of vanadium nanoparticles in a hydrogel matrix, and scanning electron microscopy micrographs also showed that the size of the nanoparticles was from 22 to 74 nm in the hydrogel matrix. The swelling behavior of nanocomposite hydrogels was studied at pH of 2.1 and 7.4. Hydrogels have shown better water absorption in less pH. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicates the interaction between polysaccharides and the samples taken from the drug indicate that the drug-loaded peaks were loaded appropriately. With the release of drug from nanocomposite and pure hydrogel hydrogels, it was observed that its release rate in nanocomposite hydrogels was lower and the amount of its release decreased with increasing percentage of nanoparticles. In the cytotoxicity test after 24 h, the cell viability was in the range of 74.35% -96.05% (compared with the control sample, which was 100%). In the hydrogel nanocomposite sample containing insulin had the lowest cell viability of insulin 31.25 μg/ml after 24 h and it had the highest cell viability at 1000 (μg/ml) concentration with 25.7% cell cytotoxicity compared to the control group.

In order to synthesize nanocomposite, nanoparticles of silver, titanium dioxide, iron oxide (Fe3O4), unmodified silica, and modified silica with 3-(tri-methoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS) and dichloromethyl vinylsilane (DMVS) modifiers were used. Based on the results of the thermal gravimetric analysis, nanocomposite prepared from BA-MMA copolymer-containing 0.3 g of modified silica with 0.183 milliliters of chloro-methyl vinyl-silane modifier showed the highest thermal stability. Mechanicl resistance of this sample in terms of the scratch was investigated by nano-scratch instrument and the results showed that, the coating with the lower friction coefficient 0.724 and lower scratch coefficient 0.267 has high scratch resistance. Chemical structure of synthesized compounds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Manuscript profile -

Fe3O4 was loaded on mesopore (MCM-41) and coated with TiO2 as a nano platelet shell. An anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), was used to modify the adsorbent through hemimicelles/admicelles process and also to prevent the agglomeration of the adsorbent. The surface chemical characteristics and morphology of the prepared Fe3O4@MCM@TiO2were studied by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analytical techniques. The effect of effective parameters for the removal of methylene blue was also studied. The adsorption data fitted with the Langmuir model showed a short equilibrium time with the maximum capacity uptake of 227.27 mg g-1. This method was successfully applied for removal of methylene blue in environmental water samples with an appropriate recovery in the range of 89.0 and 94.2%. Manuscript profile -

Initially, tin oxide nanoparticles and magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized; then, chitosan biopolymer functionalized with folic acid was used to coat the magnetic nanocomposite. In order to optimize the nanocarrier, loading times (4, 3, 2, 1 and 5 hours), the amount of nanocarrier (10.5 and 15 mg), drug concentration (15, 25, 35, and 50 ppm), and solvent (methanol and Ethanol) were investigated with an iron to tin ratio of 0.2. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size distribution were used to investigate the properties of nanoparticles, and according to the results, synthesized nanocomposites had a homogenous structure with particle size between 5 to 25 nm, the amount of carrier was 10 mg, the concentration of the drug was 15 ppm with methanol solvent and the loading time was 4 hours with a maximum loading efficiency of 85% and was selected as the optimal nanocarrier. The maximum adsorption capacity was obtained based on the Langmuir model and Sips were 36.2322 mg / g and 37.3915 mg / g, respectively. Absorption synthetic studies have shown that quercetin adsorption has followed second-degree synthetics. In order to evaluate the intelligent release of the drug, its release in laboratory conditions using phosphate salt solution with buffer properties in different pHs was investigated and the synthesized nanocarrier showed complete release in the acidic pH of 2.5.

The influence of the structures of these catalysts on the normal heptane conversion and the selectivity to various products including multi and mono branched isomers and cracking products was studied. Various characterization techniques, i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray florescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analyzer (TGA/DTA), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements were used for characterization of the catalysts. The catalytic activity and stability in normal heptane reforming for platinated composite materials consisting of HMS mesopore section (hexagonal mesoporous silica) and microspore section of series A zeolites including 3A, 4A, and 5A, were very close to each other. However, the results show that the selectivity toward the formation of isomers is remarkably high for Pt/4A-HMS composite catalyst. The results show that the effective parameter on catalytic performance is the aluminum amount (or Si/Al ratio) in the structure of the prepared catalysts. Manuscript profile -
