    ZnO:Sn nanopowders were synthesized by co-precipitation method using zinc acetate dihydrate and tin (IV) chloride hexahydrate as a precursors. Co-precipitate of ZnO:Sn nanopowders with various Sn additive 0-50 %wt were obtained by calcination process at 500 °C. The corresponding functional groups and chemical bonding of the samples were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The effects of Sn addition on structural and morphological properties of ZnO:Sn nanopowders have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy (Raman) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical bonding of Zn-O, Sn-O and Sn-OH in ZnO:Sn nanopowders were observed by FTIR results. The phase formation of this coumpound was observed with increasing Sn content with calcined at 500 °C. These results indicate that the crystallinity and structural of ZnO nanopowders are significantly affected by Sn dopant.

    In this work, we reported the preparation of F-doped ZnO nanoparticles by facile precipitation process using zinc nitrate and ammonium fluoride as starting precursors for Zn and F, respectively dissolved in deionized water. The precursor solution was prepared at various fluoride composition ranging from 1-5 wt%. The as-precipitated powders were calcined at different temperature from 500 °C to 700 °C for 2 h. Effect of calcination temperature and fluoride concentration on structural, morphologies, optical and electrical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, respectively. XRD results indicated the complete formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO. SEM micrographs showed the agglomeration for each sample that noticeably influenced by fluoride content.

    The aim of this work was focused on the size reduction of waste glass that was obtained from broken beaker glass in the laboratory. The particle size reduction of glass cullet was performed by a high energy ball milling process. Firstly, the obtained beaker glass was smashed into fine particles before the milling process. The milling parameters studied, which had potential effects on the efficiency of the milling process, were rotation speed, milling time and ball sizes. The particle size and morphology of before/after milled silicate powder were evaluated by a particle analyzer and a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). It was shown that the particle size of the milled powder had decreased after milling. However, agglomeration occurred after the use of high rotation speeds and longer milling times. Furthermore, functional groups of the milled samples were analyzed by a Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer. The FTIR spectra of samples of each milled condition displayede similar patterns. Meanwhile, an optical property, the scattering effect of milled samples of different particle sizes, was identified by a luminance meter. The preliminary results suggested that the minimum particle size of the milled glass was reached at 1.33 µm with milling time of 30 min at 500 rpm. Therefore, an increase of light scattering property occurred, and this correspondented to the smaller particle size of milled silicate powder.

    This work aims to modify the surface of silicon dioxide particles for high dispersion property in the host matrix. Silicon dioxide powders were obtained from wasted material as broken beaker glass and reduced its particle size by high energy milling process operating at 500 rpm for 30 min. These particles can be proposed as an effective light scatterer and applied in the transparent light planar waveguide for the improvement of light emission performance. However, the main problem of using milled silica powder is the poor dispersion in the polymer matrix. Therefore, the surface modification method is a key role to resolve this obstacle by using polymer surfactant agents as polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and sodium hexametaphosphate. The proper polymer surfactant in the surface modification on silica powders has been revealed. The particle size of each condition was analyzed by a particle analyzer. Modified silica particle size with polymer surfactants trended to decrease lower than 1 µm owing to good dispersion of the particles by polymer chain and interaction between silica and surfactant surface. Chemical functional groups on modified silica powders were investigated by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FTIR spectra shown that main chemical components of all samples were composed of silica and borate chemical bonding. Meanwhile, the O-H stretching vibration appeared in the spectra was a key role for particle size and good dispersion of modified surface silica particles in the solution. Moreover, light scattering property and transmission of modified silica with polymer surfactants in dispersion solution were detected by luminance meter and UV-Vis spectrometer to confirm its possibility for application in light scattering material. The best polymer surface for milled silica surface modification in this work was obtained from polyvinyl alcohol, which proved that the adjustment of surface charge and physical properties on the silica surface.
