A wide range of aa’vanced technology for existing and emerging products based on high temperature metal-ceramic composites used in aircrafts, cutting tools, lithium-ion based rechargeable batteries, superconductors, field emission based flat-panel displays, etc. employ micron to submicron sized ( 0.1 -10 microns) particulate precursors in their manufacturing process. Although there has been a s...

Reverse micelles as nanosized aqueous droplets existing at certain compositions of water-in-oil microemulsions are widely used today in the synthesis of many types of nanoparticles. However, without a rich conceptual network that would correlate the properties and compositions of reverse micellar microemulsions to the properties of to-be-obtained particles, the design procedures in these cases ...

Molecular sieves and zeolites are materials whose crystalline frameworks form nanometer or subnanometer pores. A variety of different crystal structures are known having a range of pore sizes. Because the pore sizes are usually smaller than 2 nm, they are classified as microporous materials. Synthesis of microporous materials is usually conducted by the high temperature treatment (80-200 °C) of...

The hydrothermal syntheses of hydroxyapatite and polymer composite materials were studied. The apatite precursor slurry was prepared by agitating a mixture of CaCO3 and CaHPO4·2H2O, and 3 kinds of polymeric fibers were added. The mixture was treated under hydrothermal conditions at 180 °C for 5 hours. The XRD patterns of the products showed that the products were well-crystallized hydroxyapatit...

This tutorial review details the emergence of template-directed synthesis of metal-organic materials (MOMs) with emphasis upon reports of MOMs in which the template is retained, template@MOMs, and structurally characterized. Such MOMs enable analysis of the nature of the intermolecular interactions that occur between the template and the resulting host framework. The utilization of such underst...

1. Introduction One of the most important recent applications of sonochemistry has been to the synthesis and modification of inorganic materials [1-5]. In liquids irradiated with high intensity ultrasound, acoustic cavitation drives bubble collapse producing intense local heating, high pressures, and very short lifetimes; these transient, localized hot spots drive high energy chemical reactions...

nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. the most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. however monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...

The development of novels materials represents a new and fast evolving application of research in physics and medicine. Processing synthesis is critical because it generally controls the final properties of the materials, ceramic forming techniques are generally based on powder processing with powder synthesis, forming and sintering. Moreover, ceramic processing has also to consider other techn...
