A New Extractive Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Oxydemeton methyl in Relation to its Environmental and Toxicological Analysis
Abstract: In view of the wide agricultural use of oxydemeton methyl insecticide and its associated toxic effects, it has been determined in the soil, water and foodstuffs to assess its environmental relevance. A new, simple and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the purpose. It is based on microwave-assisted alkaline hydrolysis of insecticide to form 2-ethylsulfinyl-ethyl mercaptan and transformation of the latter through reaction with carbon disulphide and nickel(II) …

Fabrication, Interfacial Characterization, and Superparamagnetic Properties of Fe₃O₄@γ-Fe₂O₃ Core/Shell Nanoparticle-Reinforced Chitosan Biopolymer Composites
Abstract: Magnetite/maghemite core/shell nanoparticles were prepared by alkaline co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) precursors followed by controlled thermal oxidation at 350 °C and subsequently incorporated into chitosan at 1, 3, and 5 wt% loadings by solution casting. The resulting films were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile testing. XRD showed the characteristic cubic spinel reflections …
