Method: Pure bentonite/Titanium Dioxide nanocomposites and doped with 3, 5 and 10% w/w silver were prepared by molten salt method. In this study, the antibacterial activity of silver doped titanium dioxide/bentonite nanocomposites was studied against two important microorganisms in food industry i.e. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureusunder visible or UV radiation. The photocatalytic activity of these composites against methyl orange was also investigated. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), UV-Vis diffusive reflectance spectrometer (UV-Vis DRS). Findings: The scanning electron microscope was showed, that agglomeration of spherical TiO2 nanoparticles formed on the bentonite surface. The XRD pattern revealed that all of the samples have only an anatase phase with crystalline size less than 50 nm. According to EDX analysis, the silver ions successfully doped to the TiO2 nanoparticles. According to UV-Vis DRS results, increasing amounts of doped Ag content in the silver-doped titanium dioxide results in a higher visible absorbance capability of the materials. Parent bentonite did not show antibacterial activity. Titanium dioxide/bentonite nanocomposites showed very weak antibacterial activity. The results showed that the antibacterial ability was significantly improved by doping silver content comparing with pure TiO2/bentonite nanocomposites. This study also showed that Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) were more readily disinfected by the photo catalysts than a Gram-negative bacterium (E. coli). According to photocatalytic activity findings, doping of nanocomposites with 5 % silver ions showed maximum photocatalytic activity. This is attributed to the increasing visible absorption capacity due to the presence of silver ions. Discussion and Conclusion: Antibacterial and photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide/bentonite nanocomposites increases dramatically due to the addition of silver ions. This can be attributed to the release of silver ions from nanocomposites and the increase in the production of free radicals as a result of increased photocatalytic activity due to reducing the energy gap of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in nanocomposites.

Smart polymers experience a great reversible change, either chemical or physical, in their properties as a significance of minor ecological differences. They can reply to a single, dual, or multiple stimulus such as the electric field, temperature, magnetic field, pH, light intensity, living molecules, etc. In this paper, the main objective is to elaborate the importance of smart polymers and their composite materials at the nano scale. Smart polymer classification along with the most familiar synthesis methods and some most common applications are briefly summarized in this paper. Some common applications of smart polymers are discussed here such as sensor/ biosensor, wastewater treatment, data storage devices, cancer therapy and surgery devices, drug delivery system, etc. The multidisciplinary exploration concerning very diverse disciplines will be essential to offer advances in smart polymer nanocomposite and their several types of application. Polymer chemists, organic/inorganic chemists, material scientists, ecologists, pharmacologists, and therapeutic specialists will have to work together toward realizing innovative materials to meet the requirements of the emerging modern civilization.

Investigation o MoreThe application of porous bio-nanocomposites polymer has greatly increased in the treatment of bone abnormalities and bone fracture. Therefore, predicting the mechanical properties of these bio-nanocomposites is very important prior to their fabrication. Investigation of mechanical properties like (elastic modulus and hardness) is very costly and time-consuming in experimental tests. Therefore, researchers have focused on mathematical methods and new theories to predict the artificial synthetic bone for orthopedic application. In this paper, porous bio-nanocomposites synthetic bone including nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and Titanium oxide (TiO2) containing (0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt% of TiO2) as reinforcements and the biocompatible polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer as the matrix has been used for the fabrication of PCL-HA-TiO2. Then, the mechanical test was conducted on the samples and the extracted value from the experimental test was compared with the analytical model using molecular dynamics (MD) method. Finally, these properties were compared with the Dewey micromechanics theory, and the error rate between the experimental method and the Dewey theory was reported. It was found that as the porosity percentage increased in the sample three-phase in composites, the model has a higher error in this theory. Then, due to the importance of hydroxyapatite in the fabrication of bone scaffolds, the obtained results of mechanical properties (Elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio) have been analyzed statistically. The application of these equations in the rapid prediction of Elastic Modulus and Poisson's ratio of the synthetic bone scaffolds made of hydroxyapatite is highly recommended. Manuscript profile -

The Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized at size of about 18-24 nm with a spherical morphology through co-precipitation method by using FeCl3.9H2O and FeCl2.4H2O salts. The phosphorus triamide derivative was synthesized from the reaction of tert-butylamine with phosphoryl chloride. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of chitosan, phosphorus triamide, Fe3O4 NPs, chitosan/phosphorus triamide, and chitosan/phosphorus triamide/1-5% Fe3O4 NPs were investigated and the results confirmed the formation of the desired films. Further, morphology and the size of nanoparticles were investigated by changing ultrasonic frequency (37 and 80 Hz) and power (30, 60, and 100 W). The in vitro antibacterial activities were evaluated against two gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) and one gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria. Nanocomposite containing higher percent of Fe3O4 NPs showed more antibacterial activities. Results also displayed greater antibacterial effects against B. cereus bacterium. Manuscript profile -

Transmission electro MoreIn this research, WS2 nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal method and then added to aluminum matrix as reinforcement. Nanocomposites were fabricated by powder metallurgy processing followed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) consolidation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and XRD of synthesized powder showed WS2 nanoparticles were synthesized successfully. Microstructural properties of nanocomposites were investigated using optical microscopy (OM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Nanoparticles were well distributed in the aluminum matrix and have a good dispersion. The presence of nanoparticles in the matrix reduces the size of the grain less than 20 µm so that the size of the grain becomes smaller by increasing the amount of nanoparticles .The density of the sample showed that the nanocomposite had a very good compressibility and relative density reach to near 99% in 4wt. %WS2. Hardness and compressive strength of nanocomposites were evaluated. Mechanical evaluations indicated that, the increase in weight fraction of WS2 nanoparticles, resulted in improvement of hardness and compressive strength of aluminum. Concentration of tungsten disulfide nanoparticles has a direct effect on increasing the mechanical properties of nanocomposite. The compressive strength increased up to 120 MPa, about twice the base metal, and the hardness raised up to 30%. Manuscript profile -

This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of bentonites as binders on performance, plasma metabolites, and aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) levels in contaminated milk of Baluchi ewes. The study was conducted with 12 ewes randomly assigned to four different experimental diets. The experi-mental diets were: (1) control (the basal diet had no supplements and contained bakery waste naturally con-taminated with AF); (2) control diet supplemented with natural bentonite (NB) (5 g/kg DM); (3) control diet supplemented with modified bentonite (MB) (5 g/kg DM) and (4) control diet supplemented with magnetic bentonite nanocomposite (MBNC) (5 g/kg DM). The study found that adding bentonite clays to the diet of ewes resulted in increased milk yield (P0.05). The study also found that increasing aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) intake resulted in a decreased carryover of AFB1 into AFM1 (P<0.01), with MBNC having the lowest carryover compared to other treatments (P<0.01). These results suggest that modification of bentonite structure in nanocomposite form improves chemical stability, physicochemical properties, and efficiency as novel toxin binders for crops and animal products.
