We report novel magnetic composite nanoparticles for heavy metal ion separation. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and were coated with poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) by emulsion polymerization process in the aqueous suspension of SPIONs. In addition, the hydrolysis of carboxylic functional groups onto the PMMA-coated SPIONs was grafted with Polyethylene glycol bis(amine). Then, the functional group structures were investigated by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology of PMMA/SPIONs was determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The magnetic property was investigated by the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The metal concentration in the solution after separation using the nanoparticles was determined by inductivity coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). Furthermore, we demonstrate that the efficiencies of the heavy metal ion removal for Cu(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) are 80.0 %, 57.7 %, 54.3 %, 40.0 %, 34.8 %, 32.5 % and 30.2 % by weight, respectively. The nanoparticles also exhibit some selectivity for copper, manganese and zinc. The results show that the composite nanoparticles are extremely promising for heavy metal ion separation.

For the application in organic light-emitting diodes, the efficient new derivative of 2, 4-diphenyl quinoline i.e., 2(2’,4’-dichloro phenyl)-4-phenyl quinoline (dichloro-DPQ) has been synthesized by Friedlander condensation at 140°C. Blended films of dichloro-DPQ with poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) at different weight % concentrations like 10, 5 and 1 wt% have been prepared. Structural and optical characterization techniques were used to characterize the crystalline powder. The photoluminescence in synthesized dichloro-DPQ polymeric compound shows emission peak in blue region at 462 nm in powder form and PL emission in dichloro-DPQ with PMMA and PS with different wt%; we get hypsochromic shift. Optical properties of dichloro-DPQ make it possible candidate material as blue organic phosphor for the field of light industry.

In present work, we have reported the second harmonic generation (SHG) property on the Guest-Host system based on optical grade poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and m-Nitroaniline (m-NA) for their use in optoelectronic devices. SHG signal of the m-NA doped PMMA freestanding films was determined using Nd:YAG laser by varying input energy from 6 mJ to 18 mJ. For evaluating SHG, films were poled at various temperatures to align the m-NA guest molecules in PMMA host matrix. Doped films were also characterized isothermally by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to get the information about loss of m-NA molecules at poling temperatures. It was found that there is no change in glass transition temperature. SHG intensity increases as the poling temperature increases. However, SHG signal intensity decreases as the decay time of poled films increases. After one week of poling more than half of the original SHG intensity is retained. The decay in SHG intensity might be attributed to the relaxation of m-NA molecules from thermodynamic unstable state to the equilibrium state.
