This work presented the results of the study on synthesis and characterization of nanosilica from rice husk ash (RHA). Nanosilica was obtained by calcination of HCl treated RHA at 700 oC for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed only one peak at 2q ~22o confirming the amorphous structure of nanosilica. The chemical composition assessed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) showed that the obtained nanosilica was of high purity. TEM image measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the obtained nanosilica was in spherical morphology with the average diameter of about 45.5±7.2 nm. The particle size distribution of nanosilica determined by dynamic laser scattering (DLS) was of Gaussian mode. The FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of silanol and siloxane groups in nanosilica. Thus, the synthesized nanosilica can be used for application in different fields. Keywords. Rice husk ash, nanosilica, amorphous.

Study of the formation of porous hydroxyapatite ceramics from corals via hydrothermal process.
Tập 48 Số 5 - 2012
The hydrothermal method was used for preparation porous hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic from coral scaffold, in two ways: synthesized directly from coral skeleton and synthesized from CaO, which was product of coral thermal decomposition. The obtained samples were characterized by techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The analytical results confirmed that HA ceramic was formed by the indirect synthesis from fresh obtained CaO from coral aragonite. Determined reaction conditions were at 180oC and 14 atm pressure for 36 hours.

AbstractIn the present study, the synthesis of W‐modified TiO2/SiO2 composite and its catalytic activity in the visible light region is demonstrated. The W‐modified TiO2/SiO2 composite was obtained from the hydrolysis of a mixture containing titanium (IV) oxysulfate, ammonium metatungstate, and SiO2 powder in an alkaline medium. The obtained materials were characterized by using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X‐ray elemental mapping observation, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, photoluminescence spectra (PL), and ultraviolet visible diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (UV‐Vis DRS). In this material, W‐modified TiO2 nanoparticles of about 3‐5 nm were highly dispersed on the silica network. Both W‐modified TiO2 and W‐modified TiO2 decorated on the SiO2 substrate significantly promoted the visible light absorption of the material. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared catalyst was assessed through the photodegradation of Methylene blue, Rhodamine‐B, Methyl orange, and Congo red dyes under visible light illumination. It was found that the kinetic and equilibrium data of the photocatalytic process fitted the modified Langmuir‐Hinshelwood model well. Recyclable studies have shown that the catalyst still retained its original activity after the third cycle.
Study on the Chemistry and Antimicrobial Activity of Psychotria reevesii Wall. (Rubiaceae)
Tập 45 Số 5 - 2012
The first chemical investigation on Vietnamese medicinal plant Psychotria reevesii Wall. (Rubiaceae) led to the isolation and structural determination of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol as a mixture, 1-octacosene, and asperglaucide from n-hexane- and CHCl3-soluble fractions of MeOH extract from the aerial parts of P. reevesii. Phytochemical screening based on color reactions, HPLC analysis, and NMR spectroscopy revealed the concentration of condensed tannins in EtOAc- and n-BuOH soluble fractions. The high accumulation of tannins may be responsible for the antibacterial activities of the polar fractions against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei, and Shigella flexneri. However, they did not exhibit any inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and Candida stellatoides.Keywords: Psychotria reevesii; Rubiaceae; asperglaucide; antibacterial activity; antifungal activity.
Kinetics and mechanism of graft polymerization of acrylic acid onto starch initiated with ceric ammonium nitrate.

Graft polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto tapioca starch was carried out using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as initiator in aqueous nitric acid medium. The kinetics of the graft polymerization of AA onto starch was studied by gravimetric method. The following rate expression (rate of graft polymerization) Rg = k. [AA]1.02 [CAN]0.478 [Starch]0.543 was obtained and a suitable mechanism was suggested. The overall activation energy was found to be 41.33kJ/mol within the temperature range of 30 - 40oC.

AbstractIn this work, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by modified Hummer's method. Polyurethane coatings with different GO concentrations (0.1‐0.5 %) were prepared for corrosion protection of carbon steel. Synthesized GO was characterized by FTIR and XRD. Corrosion resistance of polyurethane coatings containing GO was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt fog test. The effects of GO on protection performance of polyurethane coatings depended on its dispersion ability. GO at a concentration of 0.1 % significantly improved corrosion resistance of polyurethane coatings.
