Shape oen has a decisive inuence over the properties and applications of monodisperse nanoparticles. In addition, size is another important factor controlling the properties of the nanomaterials owing to various connement effects. Therefore, the synthesis of diverse, high-quality nanoparticles with tunable shapes and sizes has become a challenging issue and drawn considerable attention. Morp...

This work demonstrates the synthesis of core-shell ZrO2/PAAEM/PS nanoparticles through a combination of sol-gel method and emulsifier-free emulsion polymerizaiton. By this method, the modified nanometer ZrO2cores were prepared by chemical modification at a molecular level of zirconium propoxide with monomer of acetoacetoxyethylmethacrylate (AAEM), and then copolymerized with vinyl monomer to fo...

Nanofluids are suspended nano-sized particles in a base fluid. With increasing demand for more high efficiency thermal systems, nanofluids seem to be a promising option for researchers. As a result, numerous investigations have been undertaken to understand the behaviors of nanofluids. Since their discovery, the thermo-physical properties of nanofluids have been under intense research. Inadequa...

Plasma-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was carried out to synthesize high-quality graphene film at a low temperature of 600°C. Monolayer graphene films were thus synthesized on Cu foil using various ratios of hydrogen and methane in a gaseous mixture. The in situ plasma emission spectrum was measured to elucidate the mechanism of graphene growth in a plasma-assisted thermal CVD...

Disclosed is a method of preparing pigmentary chromium oxide nano particles having 50 percent particle size less than about 100 nm. Preparation of nano chromium (III) oxide is investigated by thermal decomposition method. According to the disclosed method, a substantially dry solid composition of potassium dichromate and carbon active is heated in CO2 atmosphere to a temperature of about 60...

Thermal rearrangement of spirans (14) and (31) yields the xanthones (16,34) and diphenylrnethane (15, 32), respectively. The structure for xanthone (16), isolated from thermolysis, has been established by reduction to xanthene (20) followed by reoxidation to give xanthone (16). Alternatively, methylation of the diphenylmethane (15) followed by heating with selenium dioxide also yields xant...

a simple, mild and high efficient procedure for one pot three component synthesis of 2-amino 4-h chromene derivatives was studied. the reaction was performed in water using aryl aldehydes, malononitrile and resorcinol, phloroglucinol or naphthole in the presence of n-methyl d-glucamine (meglumine) as a green high efficient catalyst. the reaction was studied in thermal, microwave (mw) and ultras...

Miniemulsion polymerization is one of heterogeneous polymerization method that can be effectively used to synthesis of various novel organic-inorganic nanocomposite particles. This method can provide opportunity of good incorporation between the polymer and inorganic phases in the formed submicrometer-sized particles. In this article, we report preparation polystyrene/silica nanocomposite p...

INTRODUCTION The conversion of synthesis gas to methanol is practiced commercially in gas phase fixed bed reactors over a Cu/Zn/Al,O1 catalyst. However, because of the highly exothermic nature of the synthesis reactions, heat dissipation has been a bottleneck in the reactor design and process configuration. Moreover, coalderived synthesis gas, having a low H,/CO ratio, is not suitable for use i...
