ABSTRACT

In this work, the effect of immobilization of bread yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by sol-gel technique combined

with functionalized nanoporous silica was investigated in different weight ratios of silica containing materials

(TMOS: LUS-1). The activities of immobilized yeast in days after immobilization were examined. The results

showed immobilization maintain the yeast life for a longer time. The functionalization by C18 functional group

improved the environmental conditions for yeast life. These results indicate that the immobilization technique in the

gel matrix and porous solid is a good system to develop industrial fermentations.

Pope and co-workers investigated the immobiliza-

tion of SC into tetramethylortosilicate (TMOS) gel.

One day after of immobilization, the yeast did not

show any activity [5]. Fennouh et al immobilized the

The term “nanoporous materials” indicates the ma-

terials with pore diameters less than 100 nm [10].

LUS-1 is a type of silica with amorphous walls clas-

material was reported by Benneviot and Badiei in

2001 at Laval University [11]. Alvaro et al used nano-

porous silica to immobilize the Lipas Enzyme [12].

Jang and et al in 2006 immobilized Tripsin Enzyme

on SBA-15 (a type of mesoporous silica) with and

without functionalized by thiol group [13]. As the im-

mobilization into nanoporous silica leads to protection

of yeast from unwanted environmental factors and in

other side the functional group on surface of nanopo-

rous material, help to remove the unsuitable materials

such as ethanol.

In this work, the effect of immobilization of bread

yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by sol-gel tech-

nique combined with functionalized nanoporous

silica was investigated in different weight ratios of

silica containing materials (TMOS: LUS-1). The ac-

the measurement of produced CO2 by consumption

of glucose in days after immobilization and a sample

able to maintain the activity of yeast after one month

were determined. In comparison to the other methods

which were used before including Gas Chromatog-

raphy (GC) and High Performance Liquid Chroma-

tography (HPLC), this method is more practical and

convenient [15].

after immobilization (Figure 3). According to differ-

ent behaviour of gels illustrated in plots, Gels in com-

parisons to each other show different behaiviours. In

all samples by spending time the activity is reduced.

In comparison to free yeasts, this reduction of activ-

cell life was followed by a smaller slope. Because of

lized yeasts show less reduction of activity. In order

to achieve the yeasts, the substra should pass through

mass transfer resistances such as boundary layer of

Because of environmental effects and inappropri-

According to the plots, the gel with TMOS: LUS-1

ratio of 1:0.5 provides the best conditions for yeast’s

ties, 21 days after immobilization the gel with 1:0.5

ratio maintains life and activity of yeasts for more

time rather than the other ratios. So this ratio of TMSO

and LUS-1 is selected as an optimum ratio.

By comparing immobilized yeast’s activity on func-

tionalized LUS-1 and LUS-1, the activity of yeasts

on functionalized LUS-1 was more protected. The

morphology of LUS-1 in Figure 5 shows its bush-like

structure. By functionalizing LUS-1, the functional

groups are placed into pores and LUS-1 scaffold.

Since the diameters of yeasts are greater than pores,

the yeasts were trapped into LUS-1 scaffold and im-

mobilized. By consuming Glucose, CO2 and H

nonpolar and show trend to similar molecules. In other

ABSTRACT

Metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical

properties that render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. This paper reports a facile method

for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. Mono-dispersed

silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared by the chemical reduction method. The size of the shell

nanoseeds could be altered by repeating the stage of reducing HAuCl4 on Au/APTES/silica particles, and the time

for which they react. The nanocore-shell particles prepared were studied using scanning electron microscopy

(TEM), UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and PL spectrophotometer. The TEM

images indicated that by growing gold nano-seeds over the silica cores a red shift in the maximum absorbance

silica@Au NPs in comparison with that of bare silica NPs. But, the existence of gold nanoseeds on the silica

particles surfaces does not change the PL spectra peaks of these nanoparticles.

Int. J. Bio-Inorg. Hybd. Nanomat., Vol. 2, No. 4 (2013), 477-483 ISSN: 2251-8533

noble metals have received particular attention,because

of the stability and the ease of preparation of Nano-

particles derived from, Hal and co-workers have

recently reported a new hybrid nanoparticle system

that consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin

noble-metal shell [1-3]. These nanoparticles, termed

“nanoshells”, possess unique optical properties,

including a strong optical absorbance and a large

third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility [4]. More

importantly, the absorbance can be selectively tuned

to any wavelength across the visible and infrared

regions of the spectrum simply by adjusting the

ratio of the dielectric core to the thickness of the

metal overlayer. These features render nanoshells

attractive for use in technologies ranging from conducting

polymer devices to biosensing and drug delivery

[5-7].

At present, the most versatile nanoshell system is

bed on the coating of silica nanoparticles with a thin

dielectric cores not only because methods for the

functionalization of the surface of silica are well-known,

but also because colloidal silica particles can be prepared

with reproducibly spherical shapes and narrow size

To prepare these gold nanoshells,a silica

minated surface silanizing agent (e.g., 3-aminopro-

is used as the surface primer. The interaction between

the amines and the negatively charged THPC gold

nanoparticles might be electrostatic rather than coor-

amine groups act attachment points for small colloidal

gold particles, which then serve nucleation sites for

Of all possible strategies [10], the reduction of

phosphoniumchloride (THPC) affords relatively

small gold particles (e.g., 2 nm) with a net negative

particles can attach to APTMS-functionalized silica

cores by coordinating to the lone pairs of the termi-

nal amine groups, the attachment can be enhanced

perhaps several fold by electrostatic effects, where in

the negatively charged THPC gold nanoparticles are

attracted to the amine groups, which are positively

charged at the pH used for the attachment process.

This strategy leads to silica nanoparticles in which

25% of the surface is covered by colloidal gold

particles that can be used to nucleate the growth of the

gold overlayer.

In this work, we describe the preparation of

gold nanoshellsby the chemical reduction method

and characterize the nanoshells by using transmis-

sion electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform

infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet visible

(UV-Vis) spectroscopy and photo luminescence (PL)

spectroscopy.

2. EXPERIMENTAL

2.1. Materials

All reagents were purchased from the indicated sup-

-

-

hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) (all from Merch Co.).

Similarly, all solvents were received from the indicat-

ed suppliers: HPLC grade water, and absolute ethanol

(Merch Co.).

2.2.Characterization methods

AB electron microscope operating at a bi voltage of

200 kV. Sample preparation involved deposition of

the nanoparticles dispersed in water onto a 200 mesh

copper grid. The grid was then set aside to allow for

evaporation of any residual water before analysis.

The FTIR data were collected using an AVA-TAR-

370-FTIR THERMONICOLET spectrometer using

two separate procedures. The sample was impacted

into a tablet shape and put onto a polished silicon

wafer before analysis. UV-Vis spectra were collected

-

trometer over the range from 400 to 1100 nm. All

samples were dispersed in water into a quartz cell for

analysis.

2.3. Preparation of silica nanoparticles

An aliquot (3.0 mL) of ammonia (30% NH3 NH

4OH

say) was added to 50.0 mL of absolute ethanol. The

aliquot (1.5 mL, 6.7 mmol) of Si(OC2H

5)

4 (tetra-

ethyl orthosilicate, TEOS) was added dropwise.

Previous studies have shown that there is usually a

concentrationdependent induction period required

to form the SiO2 nucleus from the TEOS monomer.

For the concentrations employed here, the induction

change of the solution from clear to opaque white. On

the basis of previous work from our laboratories, the

concentration of the resultant silica nanoparticles was

7×1012 particles / mL. Analysis by TEM indicated that

the silica nanoparticles were spherical in shape with

115 nm diameters.

2.4. Functionalization ofsilica nanoparticlesurfaces

with APTES

The silica nanoparticles were then surface function-

alized by grafting them with 12 mM APTES in vol-

ume ratio of 3:7 under constant heating and vigorous

group on their surface. Under this condition, the

-

plete surface functionalization. The amine grafted

silica particles were then cooled to room temperature

and washed with at least 2 cycles of centrifugation and

redispersion in absolute ethanol and distilled water at

10,000 rpm for 15 min each to remove residual reac-

tants before resuspending them in 1 mL of water for

every 0.3 g of silica used for surface functionalization

with amine.

2.5. Preparation of colloidal gold nanoparticles

To a 45 mL aliquot of HPLC grade water was added

0.5 mL of 1 M NaOH and 1 mL of THPC solution

(prepared by adding 12 µ

THPC in water to 1 mL of HPLC grade water). The

(27 mmol) of HAuCl4 1% in water was added quickly

to the stirred solution, which was stirred further for

30 min. The color of the solution changed very quickly

from colorless to dark reddish yellow (Figure 1),

which we call “THPC gold nanoparticles”. Although

the size of the THPC gold nanoparticles can be varied,

our gold seeds were consistently 2-3 nm in diameter.

The solution of THPC gold seeds was stored in the

samples of the gold nanoparticles were dark brown in

color. The particles were near the detection limit of

our TEM.

2.6. Attachment of colloidal gold nanoparticles to

APTMS functionalized silica cores

An aliquot of APTES-functionalized silica nanopar-

ticles dispersed in ethanol (6.7 mL, 2.4×1013 particles/

mL) was placed in a centrifuge tube along with an

solution, 3.5×1014 particles/mL). The centrifuge tube

was shaken gently for a couple of minutes and then

fuged at 2000 revolutions/min, and a red-colored pel-

let was observed to settle to the bottom of the tube.

After drying, a red-colored pellet was left, which was

redispersed and sonicated in HPLC grade water. The

redispersed in 5 mL of HPLC grade water and used

described in the following subsection (Figure 2 b).

2.7. Growth of gold nanoshells

To grow the gold overlayer on the Au/APTES/sili-

solution containing a reducible gold salt. In a reac-

-

sium carbonate (K2CO

3) in 100 mL of HPLC grade

water. After 10 min of stirring, 1.5 mL (20 mmol) of a

Figure 1: THPC gold nanoparticles solution

solution of 1% HAuCl4 in water was added. The

solution initially appeared transparent yellow and

slowly became colorless over the course of 30 min. To

a vigorously stirred 4 mL aliquot of the colorless solu-

tion, we injected 200 µL of the solution containing the

Au/APTES/silica nanoparticles.

µL (0.36 mmol) aliquot of

formaldehyde. Over the course of 2-4 min, the solu-

tion changed from colorless to blue, which is charac-

teristic of nanoshell formation. The nanoshells were

centrifuged and re-dispersed in HPLC grade water

until use.

3.1. Imaging by TEM

spherical silica nanoparticleswith a size of about

120 nm, and then attached small colloidal particles

of gold to APTES-functionalized silica nanoparticles

cores and then used the attached gold particles to tem-

plate the growth of a gold overlayer. NH3 is the most

effective parameter in thespherical shape of silica

nanoparticles [11].

By increasing theconcentration of TEOS and

H2O, the size of the nanoparticles increases. It

ate of condensation and hydrolysis reactions [12].

Figure 2 shows TEM images of the different stages

of our synthesis of gold nanoshells produced us-

ing this strategy. Figure 2(a) displays single silica

nanoparticles. Figure 2(b) shows the desirable

arrangement of the small THPC gold nanoparticles

with a narrow size of <3 on functionalized silica cores.

This improves our success in properly functionalizing

silica particles with a layer of bifunctional APTES

molecules, and also in preparing THPC gold

nanoparticles in narrow size of <3 nm and good aged.

Figure 2(c) demonstrates growth of monodispersed

gold seedsto a narrow size of <10 nm and thus, a

homogeneous shell would be obtained by repeating

the last process of reducing HAuCl4 on SiO

2@Au

nanoparticles as seen in Figure 2(a-c). Therefore, we

also did this last part of coating for one time more on

the nanoparticles of Figure 2(c), whichhas shown as

the resultant shell growth in Figure 2(d). Thus as it

is seen, the used method in this paper for the fabri-

cation of SiO2@Au core/shell nanoparticles has some

-

cal size for silica nanoparticles and also uniform

attachment of colloidal gold nanoparticles to APTES-

functionalized silica cores.

3.2. XRD analysis

The structure study, i.e.bonding of these core-shell

particles was also done using Fourier transform infra-

red spectroscopy (FTIR). The results are shown in

Figure 4. The Figure shows the FTIR spectrum of sili-

ca, functionalized silica and silica-gold core-shell par-

ticles. It indicates an intense characteristic absorption

band between 3300 and 3500 cm-1 assigned to O–H

stretching in H-bonded water. Also this band can be

cross checked through the 1635 cm-1 band due to the

scissor bending vibration of molecular water. For SiO2

ous SiO2 peaks, Si–OH bonding and peaks due to

the residual organic group’s one. After coating these

particles with gold, the intensity of Si–O–Si and

addition of gold nanoparticles in every method using

interpreted as a collective effect of the gold nanopar-

of gold nanoparticle clusters on the silica nanoparti-

cles that after two coatings (in SiO2@Au1 and SiO

and red shift from 622 to 662 nm respectively (Figure

5(b)). So it reveals that as more gold chloride has re-

duced on the attached gold particles and the particles

has begun to grow and merge, Their aspect ratio has

increased and this has leaded to a red shift of the ab-

electron mean free path in the metal shell [15].

Silica@gold core-shell particles were synthesized

by reducing gold chloride on THPC attached silica

nanoparticle cores for several stages. The morphology

of these particles was also studied using TEM. TEM

images demonstrated the growth of monodispersed

gold seeds in narrow sizes up to 10 nm and making

a whole shell by their linkage. Therefore, a uniform

shell was obtained by repeating the last process of

it is because of kind of wall materials and different

concentration so we use this factor in analyzing the

result. According to results that we mentioned on the

The SEM images (Figure 4) show that microcapsules

containing 20% case in have much less shrinkage and

structure of the powder particles containing inulin was

porous and has depression and some cracks shown

in Figure 5. Adding Inulin to Casein had a profound

impact on the structure and morphology of microen-

capsulated powders. Casein combined with high lev-

els of inulin particles produces particles with rough

surfaces, but combined with low doses of inulin had

no tangible impact, though the uniformity of micro-

capsule sizeswas affected. It showed the slower rate of

material properties and their concentration saffecting

the structure and morphology of microcapsules by the

presence of cracks in the microcapsules containing

greater amounts of inulin.

4. CONCLUSIONS

The study revealed that ultrasonic waves can be used

of nano and also energy of the waves can be used to

produce food nano-emulsions and products in which

the particle size as a parameter has an important role

in the product quality. Results showed that the small-

magnetic nano particles via precipitation in different pH conditions have been reported. The

certain molar ratio of Fe/Ba = 12 selected and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitant agent. X-ray Diffraction

(XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to consider

the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of barium hexaferrite nano-particles, respectively. Results

demonstrated that pH plays an important role in phase composition; so affected sample properties. The broad

hysteresis loop shows that the barium hexaferrite powder was in good crystalline nature.

ABSTRACT

A organic-solution-processable functionalized-graphene (SPFGraphene) material has been studied on pre-

concentration and determination of trace Mo(II) ions. In this process, the effects of pH solution, elution conditions

on pre-concentration of trace Mo(II) were studied and the effect of interfering ions was also investigated. A

selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of Mo(II) ions in water samples has been developed.

Method has been developed for preconcentration of Mo on organic-solution-processable functionalized-graphene

oxidation of bromopyrogallol red at λ

6.9×10-9 -9 M. This procedure has been successfully applied

to determine the ultra-trace levels of Mo in the environmental samples, free from the interference of some diverse

At these levels, Mo(II) can bind to the cell membrane

and hinder the transport process through the cell wall.

Mo(II) at nearly 40 ng mL-1 is required for normal

metabolism of many living organisms [6]. On the other

The octadecyl silica membrane disks involves short-

to the large cross-sectional area of the disk and small

of ligand will be protonated) and at high pH values,

Mo will precipitate on the column (precipitating in-

stead of adsorption will occur). In order to obtain the

best conditions for determination after preconcentra-

tion and to prevent the precipitation of Mo (especially

at high concentrations), the most acidic pH from this

of analyte retention time was investigated by passing

the adsorbent by elution with 1.0 mL, HCl, 1.0 M.

For investigating the ability of microcrystalline naph-

thalene to adsorb Mo(II) after sequential elusions,

the preconcentration process was repeated for many

times. It was indicated that the results were satisfac-

tory, even by using one column for 10 times, with-

out changing the packing. The different volumes of

Mo solution, 1.0×10 M in the range of 10-1000 mL

were passed through the column and the signal of each

eluted solution was compared with calibration curve

data which is achieved from determination method.

The obtained signals of concentrated Mo solutions

presented that a preconcentration factor of 100 can be

achieved by this method. The effect of ionic strength

on the sensitivity was studied. The sensitivity would

be slightly changed with increasing the ionic strength

3.3. Retention capacity of the adsorbent

The retention capacity of organic-solution-process-

able functionalized-graphene (SPFGraphene) adsor-

bent was determined by a batch method. The 20 mL

solution of Mo(II) 1.0×10-4 M in pH 5.0 was trans-

ferred into a separating funnel and 3 g adsorbent was

termined according to calibration curve data and then

adsorbed amount of Mo was calculated. The retention

capacity (mg adsorbed Mo/ g adsorbent) was obtained

to be 0.1672 mg g-1 of adsorbent or 2.01 mg g-1 of

ligand.

various samples on the determination of 5.0×10-6 M,

Mo(II)was investigated. The tolerance limit was de-

relative error less than 3% (Table 1). Some metal cat-

ions can be adsorbed on microcrystalline naphthalene

at different pH values. This proposed adsorbent is not

only able to remove anions of the Mo(II) solution but

also can decrease the interference of some cations.

Some of important ions that can be found in the real

samples with Mo(II) such as Sn , Hg , Cd , Co ,

Ca , Pb and Tl do not have any interference on

the determination of Mo(II). Al and Fe can be trouble-

some in the determination procedure but with precon-

centration their interference decreases.

Living cells are continually challenged by conditions

which cause acute and chronic stress. Heat shock pro-

to elevated temperatures or other stress. Molecular

chaperones such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) are

known to contribute to reducing cellular damage. HSPs

havemultiple functions in maintaining intracellular in-

zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method (HM). Then, Ag-NaY zeolite was prepared from NaY zeolite by

ion-exchange method (IEM). In the next step, Fe O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were incorporation and deposited on the

Ag-NaY zeolite structure by using precipitation method (PM). The synthesized samples were characterized by SEM,

EDAX and XRD techniques. The GC-FID and IR analysis results demonstrated that about 99% of methamidophos

acetonitrile and methanol solvents were lower. It seems that a nonpolar solvent transfer to the reactive surface site

in the polar reaction, polar solvent hinders the reac-

tion's progress.

It could be construed from GC analysis that polar

solvent can compete with the reaction sites presented

on the surface of the composite including Bronsted

)

sites. In particular, the blocking of Lewis acid sites

would hinder the coordination of methamidophos.

Since methanol is considered as such a strong hin-

drance to the reaction, this points out to the fact that

isopropanol simply blocks access to the surface of the

catalyst.
