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.

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-

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].

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-
ate conditions, the number of yeast was decreased.

LUS-1 possess outstanding chemical, thermal and me-

environment leading to avoid ethanols of prohibiting

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
2O are
produced. CO2

drophobic, because the hydrophobic molecules are
nonpolar and show trend to similar molecules. In other
side, H2O molecules create hydrogen bonding and in-
crease the moisture of gel. Nonpolar molecules, like

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. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
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

pattern of the resultant nanoparticles (corresponding

3.3. FTIR 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
and SiO2@Au particles peak 1105 cm-1 can be signed

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

3.4. UV-Vis analysis
Optical absorption was recorded at various stages of
addition of gold nanoparticles in every method using
UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy. Optical absorp-

the plasmon resonance region. In contrast, the absorp-
tion spectrum for gold nanoparticles attached in clus-
ters to silica nanoparticles shows an enhanced absorp-
tion in the plasmon resonance region. This result is
interpreted as a collective effect of the gold nanopar-
ticles in the cluster which would indicate the presence
of gold nanoparticle clusters on the silica nanoparti-
cles and the effect of plasmon-plasmon interactions on
the absorption of the group of gold nanoclusters on a
the UV–Visible spectra of silica-gold core-shell parti-
cles that after two coatings (in SiO2@Au1 and SiO
2@
Au2) the Plasmon peak demonstrated more spreading
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].
3.5. PL analysis
Figure 6 shows the PL emission spectra under 540
silica@Au NPs. The silica@Au NPs prepared by
two methods in water display one strong emis-
does not shift the emission peak position.
4. CONCLUSIONS
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
reducing HAuCl4 on these particles on the nanometer
scale. UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy shows a red
-
mon resonance peak position of gold depends upon
the sizes of gold shell seeds. Therefore, by chang-
ing the sizes of gold seeds on core surfaces and thus
by changing shell thicknesses; it is possible to de-
sign a material with desired optical properties.The

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

amined in range of 1.0-10.0, and the results are shown
in Figure 5. The results show that in the pH range of
5.0-10.0, the analyte was adsorbed on microcrystal-
line naphthalene quantitate and the recovery was more
be formed on adsorbent (at acidic media, active sites
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
10.0 mL of Mo(II) (5.0×10-5 M) solution in the pH 5.0
-
ment with the passed solution. The results show that
microcrystalline naphthalene quantitatively. The best -1. As the Mo
-
chloric acid was selected to desorb the adsorbed ana-
lyte. Figure 6 shows that Mo(II) can be desorbed from
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

added. The separating funnel was shaken vigorously
-
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.
3.4. Calibration graph, reproducibility and detection
limit
A series of standard solutions of Mo(II) were treated

to 2.7×10-5 M with linear equation;
∆

centration and C is molar concentration of Mo×106).

×10 , 1.0×10-7, 3.0×10-6 and 1.0×10-5 M of Mo(II)
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.

itywere achieved by employing ligand 1b. The yields
and enantiomeric ratios of the products showed the
temperature dependence of this process. A decrease in

we tested the effect of Cu salts (Table 2). In all cases,
Cu(OTf)2 proved to be the best copper source while
and longer reaction times (entries 3-4 vs.2). The use
of Zn(OTf)2 instead of Cu(OTf)
2 gave worse result
in term of enantioselectivity (entry1). The effects of
catalyst loading were also investigated and the best
results were obtained when 10 mol % catalysts load-
ing was used in the reaction. The ligand-to-metal ratio
of 1.1:1 using 20 mol % of ligand was investigated
under the similar conditions and the isolated yields

spectively. Lowering the catalyst loading to less than
10 mol % led to a sharp decrease in the results. It
should be noted, the addition of additives such as MS
4A, 3A did not give any observable changes in the re-
sults of the reaction and even lead to decreasing yields.

Living cells are continually challenged by conditions
which cause acute and chronic stress. Heat shock pro-
teins (HSP) are a class of functionally related proteins
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-
tegrity viaprotection, repair and even control of cell
death signaling [1-3]. They play an important role in
proteins interactions such as folding and assisting in the

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
on the composite without occupying and blocking of these sites.

Notwithstanding the transition state must be involved
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.
