Phase evolution of Na2O–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O gels in synthetic aluminosilicate binders

Mullitization of Diphasic Aluminosilicate Gels

Recent studies have shown that the mullitization of diphasic aluminosilicate matrices comprising transitional alumina and amorphous silica occurs via a nucleation and growth process. Nucleation is preceded by a temperature-dependent incubation period. Following this incubation period, rapid nucleation of mullite occurs, producing about 1.8 X 10" nuclei/cm3, which remains constant throughout the...

synthesis of platinum nanostructures in two phase system

چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...

Enclosure of Sodium Tetrahydroborate (NaBH4) in Solidified Aluminosilicate Gels and Microporous Crystalline Solids for Fuel Processing

Phase transitions in lyotropic nematic gels.

In this paper, we discuss the equilibrium phases and collapse transitions of a lyotropic nematic gel immersed in an isotropic solvent. A nematic gel consists of a cross-linked polymer network with rod-like molecules embedded in it. Upon decreasing the quality of the solvent, we find that a lyotropic nematic gel undergoes a discontinuous volume change accompanied by an isotropic-nematic transiti...

Synthetic polyion-counterion transport systems in polymersomes and gels.

Transport across the membranes of polymersomes remains difficult in part due to the great thickness of the polymer bilayers. Here, we report that dynamic polyion-counterion transport systems are active in fluorogenic polymersomes composed of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(2-methyloxazoline) (PDMS-PMOXA). These results suggest that counterion-activated calf-thymus DNA can act as cation carrier th...
