in this study, different contents of nano-silica, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%, have been added to bitumen tomodify the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of warm mix asphalt (wma). wma iscontaining 2 wt.% of sasobit (mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons). various quality control tests have beencarried out to characterize the modified bitumen and wma. the rheological investigations show...

The purpose of this study was to design a powerful fibrous sorbent for recovering precious metals such as Pd(II) and Pt(IV), and moreover for identifying its selectivity toward Pd(II) or Pt(IV) from a binary metal solution. For the development of the sorbent, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as a model textile because its morphological property (i.e., thin fiber form) is suitable for fast a...

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...

Abstract To investigate the mechanical properties and durability of nano-SiO 2 , polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-modified fly ash (FA), metakaolin (MK)-based geopolymer mortar (FMGM), tests compressive strength, electrical flux, freeze–thaw cycles, sulfate dry wet cycles were conducted. Based on experimental results, combined with Dunn’s gray correlation theory analysis method, a mathematical eff...

The handling of low, middle and high molecular weight markers was examined in seven stable dialysis patients during hemofiltration with different membranes. Four membranes were examined in a randomized, crossover order (polysulfone, polyamide, AN69 polyacrylonitrile, Asahi polyacrylonitrile) by measuring plasma and dialysate concentrations of phosphate, creatinine, vitamin B12, beta 2-microglob...

Electrospinning with consequent thermal treatment consists in a carbon fiber production method that spins polymer solution to create fibers diameters around few hundred nanometers. The treatments are used for the cyclization and then carbonization of material at 1700 °C one hour. unique structure micro- nano-carbon makes them promising various applications ranging from future battery designs fi...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method was presented for determination of trace amounts of cu (ii) in water samples. the stability of an n, n´ -disalicylideneethylenediamine modified nano geraphene especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was studied which used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of n, n´-disalicylideneethylenediamine modified na...
