In the present study, stress-stain behaviour of confined concrete made with nano-silica (nano-SiO 2 ) were taken up. The stress-strain was studied for M30 and M50 grades mixes steel rebars. confinement given in form hoops cylinders, 3 (0.8%), 4 (1.1%), 5 (1.3%) 6 (1.6%). addition along enhanced compressive strength, indicating further effect concrete. It is observed that helpful lower confineme...

A novel design based on both FeOx and Si nano-dots bonded with graphene (FeOx·Si@GNS) as dual lithium-storage centers is reported. They show high performance as anode materials for Li-ion batteries with a remarkable reversible capacity of 1160 mA h g(-1) at 0.2 A g(-1), fast charging/discharging rate, and long cycling life (e.g., a capacity retention of 81.7% at 2.0 A g(-1) after 600 cycles). T...

Strain engineered graphene has been predicted to show many interesting physics and device applications. Here we study biaxial compressive strain in graphene/hexagonal boron nitride heterostructures after thermal cycling to high temperatures likely due to their thermal expansion coefficient mismatch. The appearance of sub-micron self-supporting bubbles indicates that the strain is spatially inho...

New two nano- sized Schiff base complexes [M(L)], where L= 2, 2'-((1E, 1E')-(1, 2 phenylen bis (azanylylidene)) bis (methanylylidene)) bis (4-bromo phenolato) and M=Cu or Zn, (a, b complexes) were synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation. These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, FT-IR, fluorescence emission, 1H NMR, field emission scanning electron spectroscopy...

Detection of local strain at the nanometer scale with high sensitivity remains challenging. Here we report near-field infrared nano-imaging strains in bilayer graphene by probing strain-induced shifts phonon frequency. As a non-polar crystal, intrinsic possesses little response its transverse optical The reported detection is enabled applying vertical electrical field that breaks symmetry two l...

In this research, the effect of different biopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) on synthesis and characterization of polymer/cobalt ferrite (CF) nano-composites bymechanical alloying method has been systematically investigated. The structural, morphological andmagnetic properties changes during mechanical milling were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fo...

BACKGROUND The replacement of hard tissues demands biocompatible and sometimes bioactive materials with properties similar to those of bone. Nano-composites made of biocompatible polymers and bioactive inorganic nano particles such as HDPE/HA have attracted attention as permanent bone substitutes due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. METHOD The HDPE/HA nano-compos...
