Nanoparticles of single-phase lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) and goethite (α-FeOOH) have been synthesized by forced hydrolysis of ferric nitrate with no other additives, and the particles have been characterized by XRD, FT-IR and TEM. At low Fe(NO(3))(3) concentrations the hydrolysis product is predominantly γ-FeOOH, while at high concentrations it is α-FeOOH. These particles are nanometers in size and fall within narrow particle size distributions. The dependence of the oxyhydoxide phase on ferric nitrate concentration is attributed to two thermodynamic factors, the enthalpy of formation and the surface enthalpy of hydration at the oxide-water interface (which is a function of surface area). Two potential mechanisms for the phase-specific growth are proposed that explain the solution concentration dependence of the phase formed. Three other common nanoscale particles (α-Fe(2)O(3), Fe(3)O(4) and γ-Fe(2)O(3)) have also been prepared by relatively simple thermal/chemical treatment of the γ-FeOOH nanoparticles.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study aimed to evaluate the stability of HMB through forced degradation and accelerated tests, focusing on its chemical content and biological activities, particularly anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties.
  • * Results indicated that HMB was sensitive to alkaline and acidic conditions, leading to reduced levels of key compounds like eugenol and -mangostin over time, although it maintained stable anti-inflammatory effects over 180 days at specific storage conditions.
