In this paper, a facile synthetic route for the preparation of NaLn(MoO4)2:Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) nanocrystals by a hydrothermal method is reported. The NaLn(MoO4)2:Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) micro-powders were synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction. The optical properties of Eu3+ as a local structural probe are analyzed when being incorporated into NaLn(MoO4)2 (Ln = Gd, Y) micro-powders and nanocrystals. In NaLn(MoO4)2:Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y), the substitution of Ln3+ by Eu3+ is confirmed and the point symmetry of the site and crystal structure are analyzed. The luminescence mechanism and the size dependence of their fluorescence properties in NaLn(MoO4)2:Eu3+ (Ln = Gd, Y) micro-powders and nanocrystals are also discussed in detail.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of different particle sizes of Diels et Gilg (TDG) powders on physical properties, dissolution, in vitro antioxidant activity, and in vivo hepatoprotective properties. The particle size of TDG coarse powders (TDG-CP), TDG fine powders (TDG-FP), and TDG micro powders (TDG-MP) were measured by a laser particle size analyzer. The physical properties were measured according to the latest version of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Committee Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020).

The grinding process plays a crucial role in industry, allowing for the reduction of particle sizes of raw materials and substances to the required fineness-either as a finished product or for further technological processes. The high demand for micro- and nanopowders or suspensions is associated with the high energy consumption of the milling process. Therefore, optimizing the milling process, including correctly selecting grinding media, is essential to reduce energy consumption.

This study aims to prepare vitexin albumin nanoparticles(VT-BSA-NPs) to alleviate the low bioavailability of vitexin(VT) in vivo due to its poor water solubility. VT micro powders were prepared by the antisolvent crystallization method, and the morphology, size, and physicochemical properties of VT micro powders were studied. The results showed that the VT micro powder had a particle size of(187.

Original compositions based on iron micro-powders and an organic binder mixture were developed for the fabrication of sintered metallic elements with micro-powder injection molding (µPIM) and material extrusion additive manufacturing of metal powders (MEX). The binder formulation was thoroughly adjusted to exhibit rheological and thermal properties suitable for µPIM and MEX. The focus was set on adapting the proper binder composition to meet the requirements for injection/extrusion and, at the same time, to have comparable thermogravimetric characteristics for the thermal debinding and sintering process.

Optical fiber (OF) sensors are critical optical devices with excellent sensing capabilities and the capacity to operate in remote and hostile environments. However, integrating functional materials and micro/nanostructures into the optical fiber systems for specific sensing applications has limitations of compatibility, readiness, poor control, robustness, and cost-effectiveness. Herein, we have demonstrated the fabrication and integration of stimuli-responsive optical fiber probe sensors using a novel, low-cost, and facile 3D printing process.
