their size dependent properties that progressively differ from their bulk formations. Nano, meaning these particles are measured to be ~100 nm or less, are structures where the majority of the atoms are located at the surface of the particle. This gives nanoparticles a high surface area to volume ratio. In comparison to their bulk counterparts, when materials are in the nano scale, the physical and chemical properties of these different materials tend to stray from the norm. These changes allow nanoparticles
transitions [40]. The addition of the Safflower extract to the HAuCl4 solution was resulted in the Au3+ reduction and visual color change from light yellow to reddish brown is meaning the formation of Au-NPs. Therefore, this color change is due to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) excitation the collective oscillation of free conduction electrons induced by an interacting electromagnetic field. The strong SPR band was observed near 520 nm. These bands are centered in the ideal wavelength range reported for
properties can be shown clearly on Nanostructured metals the collective oscillations of the conduction electrons termed plasmons lead to most striking phenomenon encountered in these structures are resonances . Plasmon modes exist in a number of geometries and in various metals — most importantly in noble metals such as gold, copper and silver. Under certain circumstances plasmons are excited by light, which leads to strong light scattering and absorption and an enhancement of the local electromagnetic
comparisons with older methods of bio-sensing will also be made. Introduction: A biosensor is a device or method that allows a certain specific biological material to be detected. Common forms of detection are Fluorescence techniques, Raman Scattering, Plasmon Resonance, Near-infrared Spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. These detection methods each have distinct advantages and disadvantages, and can adapt to a variety of different applications for different situations. However, traditional
Short-term research program and goals: 1. The first objective is to study the effect of food processing on molecular structure of processed food. This objective will be achieved through applying detailed molecular structure characterization studies on food processed under different processing parameters. This objective is aiming fundamental knowledge on processing effect on food structure with relating food structure to their functionality. 2. The second objective of this research is to apply and
Surface Segregation and Formation of Silver Nanoparticles Created In situ in Polyvinyl alcohol Films. 1- Introduction. Preparation, characterization, and physical properties of a nanostructured materials of silver (nanoparticles and nanocomposites) have been the subject of various researcher in many scientific laboratories during the past years for many studies and it has been also established that size, stability, color, shape, and properties depend on the method of preparation (radiation, photochemical

Nanometre scale metal particles exhibit optical, electronic, magnetic and chemical properties which have wonderful technological and scholar value. Among them silver, copper, and gold nanoparticles (NP) offer powerful adsorption bands (Localised Surface Plasmon Resonance, LSPR) in the visual spectrum. The frequency of the LSPR is mightily dependent on various properties of the NP. The optical properties of metal NP are mightily affected by their composition, shape, size, and concerning climate, like
ABSTRACT In the present work, PVA-Ag nanocomposite films with thickness 0.18 mm, constant silver content (0.4 wt. %) and different time of reactions (0.1, 3, 5, 7, 9 h) were prepared by chemical reduction methods. Surface topology, optical and electrical properties of PVA-Ag nanocomposite were studied using absorption spectroscopy, electrometer, atomic force microscope (AFM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared nanocomposites. Optical absorption coefficient

In this regard, Lorenzo et al. investigate the adsorption of βAA drugs (CB, SB and TB) on noble metal surface with the aim of establishing of SERS as an alternative antidoping test method. Their results indicates that the Au substrates and also acidic pH are optimal conditions for accurate and effective detection of these drugs. Beside, their corresponding
