	abstract = {<p>We offer a novel polymer-inorganic solid-state reaction route for the in situ generation of nanochalcogenide semiconductor in the network of polymer which itself acts as a chalcogen source. We have exemplified feasibility of this route by reacting CdI2 with engineering thermoplastic polyphenylene sulphide (PPS). These two reactants in 1:1 and 10:1 molar ratios were simply heated at the crystalline melting temperature of PPS. The resultant products were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM, with selected area electron diffraction). The prima facie observations revealed the formation of cubic nanocrystallites of US with the particle size ranging from 6 to 20 nm entrapped in modified (cyclized) PPS matrix when the reactants were taken in 10:1 molar ratio. A tentative mechanism has been suggested for such hitherto unattempted solid-state reaction. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>We report here for the first time the synthesis of technologically important ferrite, using a metal oxalato-hydrazinate (MOH) complex method. The MOH complex of iron-manganese-zinc was synthesized at room temperature using the precursors, ferrous ammonium sulphate, manganese acetate and zinc acetate. Thermo-gravimetric studies of MOH intermediate showed complete phase formation of MnZnFe(2)O(4) at 280 degrees C. XRD data showed the formation of single phase cubic spinel MnZnFe(2)O(4). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrate the spherical shape particle morphology. TEM images indicated the particle size of ferrite powder in the range of 20-36 nm. Magnetization of synthesized nano-sized Mn(0.69)Zn(.0.19)Fe(2.12)O(4) was observed coercive force (H(c)) at 127.82 Oe with a saturation magnetization (M(s)), 34.5 emu g(-1) using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature. Mossbauer study of nano-sized ferrite powder showed super-paramagnteic behavior. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
