The assynthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The experimental results indicate that ZnS nanophase is formed through a phase evolution of ZnS·(DETA)1/2→ ZnS.DETA→ZnS. The ZnS flower-like microspheres sized around 2μm consist of many nanobelts whose structure could be regarded as an alternative admixture of hexagonal wurtzite (WZ) and cubic zinc blende (ZB). The optical absorption measurements demonstrate that the spectral feature of the sample changes with the evolution of the phase structure.展开更多

Morphologies and structures of thus-grown ZnS nanosaws are characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and a transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that temperature of the Si substrates used for collection of the products is a critical experimental parameter for the formation of ZnS nanostruetures with different morphologies. The growth mechanism of the ZnS nanosaws is discussed on the basis of the experimental findings.展开更多

In this study,we investigated the enzymatic activity change and the effect of the excipients on the stability of recombinant human Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase(rhCu,Zn-SOD) during the emulsification. The specific activity recovery was found to be concentration dependent and the excipients involved such as PEG 600 and Tween 20,and trehalose were shown to increase the stability of rhCu,Zn-SOD. The protein structural integrity within the microspheres was analyzed by FTIR. The structure of rhCu,Zn-SOD within PLGA microspheres containing trehalose was found to be similar to that of the native solid state,whereas the protein encapsulated during the preparation in the absence of any excipient changed due to the possible hydrophobic interaction with the polymer. The results suggest that a rational stability strategy for protein to be encapsulated into microspheres should aim at different processes.展开更多
