Abstract

Analysis of impurity in powder samples has been made by using metal-assisted laser-induced plasma spectroscopy utilizing a pulsed CO2 laser. Various powders including food powder, supplement powder, baby powder, and medicine powder were employed as sample materials. Experimentally, the powder sample was tightly put in a hole made on a metal plate and a metal mesh was placed on the powder surface. A pulse CO2 laser (10.6 μm, 1500 mJ) was irradiated on the powder surface passing through the metal mesh. Luminous plasma was induced by mesh just above the mesh when a part of laser energy attacked the mesh. The other part of laser energy impinged the powders and ablated fine particles of powder to the plasma to be atomized and excited. Identification and analysis of elements in powder were successfully conducted. A linear calibration curve of Cu in baby powder has been demonstrated with an intercept zero, certifying that the present technique was a high possibility to be employed for semi-quantitative analysis of elements in powder material. It was proved that by applying the present technique and employing a condensation technique, the detection sensitivity of Cr impurity in the powder sample increased about twenty times compared to the case without condensation. The limit of detection of Cr in rice powder sample was 25 mg/kg. The proposed method was very convenient for the identification and analysis of elements in the powder sample.

Abstract

The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been applied as an antibacterial agent in consumer products, cosmetics, and food industries. In this present work, AgNPs were synthesized in various mediums of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and chitosan using the pulse laser ablation synthesis method. Experimentally, a pulse Nd:YAG laser beam (1064 nm, 7 ns, 30 mJ) was directed using a silver mirror and focused using a quartz lens with a focal length of 30 mm on a silver metal plate placed in a petri dish containing liquid mediums for 120 min to produce colloidal silver nanoparticles. The results certified that All AgNPs have a spherical shape with polydisperse size in all media, including PVP, PEG, and chitosan. The smallest AgNPs have been produced in PVP medium with an averaged smallest size of 11.62 nm. Based on this result, PVP is the preferred medium to produce AgNPs with the smallest size and good stability. The produced silver nanoparticles have been successfully employed as an antibacterial agent, which is experimentally demonstrated by using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The result certified that the produced silver nanoparticles could effectively kill the bacteria with a killing percentage of 99.6 to 100%.

Abstract

Contrast agents are extensively used to enhance the quality of images in computed tomography (CT) scans for brain exams, vascular imaging, and full-body imaging. Recent data indicate that iodine-based contrast agents have brief durations of blood circulation and may lead to harmful toxicity effects. This study aims to produce silver nanoparticles using environmentally friendly synthesis techniques facilitated by microwaves. The characteristics of nanoparticles have been studied using UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, and TEM techniques. The TEM analysis reveals that the silver nanoparticle has an average diameter of 9 nm and exhibits a spherical shape. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) values of silver nanoparticles at 100, 150, and 200 mg/L concentrations are 35.79, 48.16, and 74.66, respectively. In comparison, iodine exhibits CNR values of 28.57, 34.69, and 48.56 at the same concentrations. The CNR values for tube currents of 140, 160, and 180 mA are 37.83, 44.98, and 48.26, respectively. In contrast, the CNR values in silver nanoparticles are 63.64, 75.32, and 81.67. The results obtained from the different concentrations and tube currents clearly demonstrate that silver nanoparticles have a higher CNR than iopamidol. Hence, silver nanoparticles have significant potential as contrast agents.
