in this investigation the silicate nano structure of mcm-41 has been used for the production of nanofluid.the particles have negligible heat conductivity and therefore by their dispersion in a base fluid likewater, it is possible to study the increase of heat conductivity due to the brownian motion effects. in thiswork a suitable apparatus for the measurement of heat conductivity has been built...

today, rocky monuments are being exposed to different physical, chemical and biological factors and therefore going to be ruined. one of physical destructive factors is growing of fungus and lichens on the rocks. this research aims to make use of silver nano-particles produced through microbial method in order to prevent growth and progression of fungus detached from rocky surfaces in meymand h...

In this study, the Mo-electrode thin films were deposited by a two-stepped process, and the high-purity copper indium selenide-based powder (CuInSe2, CIS) was fabricated by hydrothermal process by Nanowin Technology Co. Ltd. From the X-ray pattern of the CIS precursor, the mainly crystalline phase was CIS, and the almost undetectable CuSe phase was observed. Because the CIS powder was aggregate...

zinc oxide nano-particles with the average diameter of about 25 nm were modified with different mole ratios of trimetoxyvinyl silane (tmvs) and oleic acid, as coupling agents, in order to modify their surface properties and render them more hydrophobic. then, dispersibility of the surface modified nano-particles was examined in some monomers with different levels of hydrophobicity, including me...

in this study the effect of nano sized silica particles (nano-sio2) on the physical and mechanical properties of rice husk and old corrugated container (occ)-cement boards was investigated. modulus of rupture (mor), modulus of elasticity (moe), internal bonding strength (ib), density, water absorption and thickness swelling after 24 hours immersion in water and hardness were measured. results s...

Silver nano-particles have different biological applications due to their compatibility. Chemical methods usually result in remaining some amounts of toxic reactions on the nano-particles. For this reason, the use of plants as sustainable and accessible resources in preparation of compatible nano-particles has attracted a lot of attention in the recent years. This research investigated the gree...

Nano structured materials have wide range of applications due to their interesting size-dependent chemical and physical properties compared to particles of size in the range of micrometer. Copper oxide nano materials are of interest on account of their potential uses in many technological fields. In this study  CuO nanoparticles were synthesized via simple sol gel method using basic CuSO4<...

background: many attempts have been performed and continued for improvement of dental amalgam properties during last decades. the aim of present research was fabrication and characterization of amalgam/titania nano composite and evaluation of its corrosion behavior. materials and methods: in this experimental research, nano particles of titania were added to initial amalgam alloy powder and the...

nanocomposite materials have recently attracted increasing interests in the field of modelling. finite element modelling can be used for computation of bulk properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites. in this study, by   considering the structure of a nano-composite material, a quasi real model is proposed. the model has been used to predict the elastic constants by selection of suitable element...

Introduction: Recent TEM studies revealed that Fe-Ni metal nano-particles are responsible for the dark “brown” color of olivine in the NWA2737 chassignite, which is interpreted to have formed by reduction of olivine due to heavy shock events [1,2]. Color change of olivine is important to understand the remote sensing data as is the case for space weathering [3,4]. Furthermore, nano-phase Fe par...
