For the first time, this work reports a facile sonochemical route in the synthesis of graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) via oxidation of graphite (G). The synthesis of GO was carried out in a fast way under ultrasonic bath irradiation (GO-U). In comparison, the synthesis of GO via classical method (GO-C) was done under the same conditions as ultrasonic method. The products were completely differen...

In this paper, Chitosan-copper nanoparticles were successfully coated onto the Kraft paperusing a dip coating process. First, chitosan-copper nanoparticles solution was prepared byreduction method and the use of ultrasonic radiation. It was employed copper sulphate pentahydrateas precursor salt, NaOH as a reducing agent and Chitosan as capping agent to prepareChitosan-copper nanoparticles solut...

The present research was designed to evaluate an ultrasonic technique for measuring the drawability of low carbon steel sheets nondestructively. This technique, which uses electro magnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT's) is embodied in a fully automatic ultrasonic device called Ultra-Form, which was developed at Iowa State University (by the Center For Nondestructive Evaluation) in 1990. EMAT tra...

Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic evaluation of Ni-Cu-Mg ferrite using tragacanth gum as biotemplate and Metals nitrate as the metal source by the sol-gel method without using any organic chemicals. The sample was characterized by powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Scanning El...

ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of cu+2-doped zns nanoparticles (mole fractions of cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray (edx) and uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (drs)...

The increased ultrasonic absorption brought about by self-assembly of biomolecules is analyzed for the assembly process from the 20S aggregate to the helical rod of tobacco mosaic virus protein in solution, designated here as the 20S --> P-helix transition. The analysis is based on theoretical developments in ultrasonic relaxation spectrometry presented previously and illustrates the possibilit...

We investigate the potential of using ultrasonic diffraction tomography technique for characterization of biological tissues. Unlike most of other studies where ultrasonic tomography operates at frequencies higher than 1 MHz, low-frequency tomography uses lower frequencies on the order of 0.3-0.5 MHz. Such a choice is due to low attenuation at these frequencies, resulting in higher precision of...

The present work evaluates the application of artificial neural networks for pattern recognition of ultrasonic signals using pulse-echo and TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) techniques in weld beads. In this study pattern classifiers are implemented by artificial neural network of backpropagation type using MATLAB. The ultrasonic signals acquired from pulse-echo and TOFD were introduced, separ...
