Titania, single-doped and lanthanum-silver co-doped titania nanocomposite were coated on cellulosic and polyacrylonitrile fibers via sol–gel method. The prepared samples were evaluated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photolumines...

covalent grafting of mcm-41 with 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane and subsequent reaction respectively with acacdien and complexation with moo2(acac)2 afforded moo2acacdien@mcm-41. x-ray diffraction and nitrogen sorption analyses revealed the preservation of the textural properties of the support as well as accessibility of the channel system despite sequential reduction in surface area, pore vo...

Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...

We report the observations of X-ray oscillations during the flare in a cool active star ξ Boo for the first time. ξ Boo was observed by EPIC/MOS of XMM-Newton satellite. The X-ray light curve is investigated with wavelet and periodogram analyses. Both analyses clearly show oscillations of the period of ∼ 1019 s. We interpret these oscillations as a fundamental fast-kink mode of magnetoacoustic ...

In this study, a polymer-silica nanocomposite using the sol-gel method was synthesized in three steps at room temperature. The nanocomposite material was formed with an organic compound (polyethylene glycol) and inorganic silica nanoparticles. Furthermore, the size and the distribution of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix were characterized by a transmission electron microscope (TEM).  In add...

Sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure ZnO nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared nanorods were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC), UV- Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett Joyner Halenda (BJH) pore size distributio...

Here, we report the synthesis of a Schiff-base mixed-ligand complex of cadmium(ІІ) in bulk and nano-scales via the precipitation and sonochemical methods, respectively. The complex formula is [Cd(3-bpdh)(3-bpdb)Cl2]n (1), where the ligands are 3-bpdh = 2,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene and 3-bpdb = 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene. The structure of mixed-ligand complex (1) wa...
