In this study,self assembly behavior was induced for γ-alumina nanoparticles by adsorption of dimethyl disulfide.Following this trend,we have developed a chemical process to obtain γ-alumina in the nano scale.Scanning electron microscopy images of the prepared γ-alumina showed big and strong agglomeration of the nanoparticles indicating that these nanoparticles have strong surface forces.Transmission electron microscopy images confirmed that the γ-alumina nanoparticles 3-7 nm in size were converted to uniform spherical shape in the size range of 1-2 mm after shaking with dimethyl disulfide in the presence of n-hexane at room temperature.This phenomenon did not appear in the case of alumina in the micro scale.The surface properties of the prepared γ-alumina in the nano scale were characterized and compared with the γ-alumina in the micro scale by using low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption system,indicating that the specific surface area of the prepared γ-alumina nanoparticles is larger than that of the γ-alumina in the micro scale.Furthermore,micro-and meso-pores were observed for the γ-alumina nanoparticles while only mesoporous structure was detected for the γ-alumina in the micro scale.These experimental results suggested that the self assembly behavior of the γ-alumina nanoparticles may be due to the selective adsorption of dimethyl disulfide in the micropores of these nanoparticles to act as bridge linking the nanoparticles.
