This paper is an attempt to synthesize nanostructured tantalum films on medical grade AISI 316L stainless steel (SS) using pulsed DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD). The impact of duty cycle (17-33%) and total pressure (3-10 torr) were studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA)...

The synthesis of singleand double-wall carbon nanotubes by gas flow-modified, catalyst-supported chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) is reported. We have investigated the gas flow condition dependence on the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by placing blocks in the CCVD reactor. Carbon nanotubes having large diameters are preferentially grown under turbulent flow conditions. This indicates tha...

amino acids (aa) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, aa requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. ...

intercalation of lithium into ag-cnts sample is reported here. we have used a nano-porous silver foam as a frame for deposition of the cnts   inside   the   pores   by   electrophoresis   deposition   (epd) technique. by using  chronopotentiometry method,  we  have noticed that the li storage capacity of the prepared ag-cnts electrode was improved  noticeably  in  comparison  with  literature. ...

using c2h2, 112 and as gases at 550'c, carbon nanotubes were fabricated on the surfaces of twosubstrates coated by nano thin layers of metal catalysts by dc magnetron sputtering. aystamless steel andfe/cteal, by thermal chemical vapor deposition (tcvd) the surface properties of the substrates wereparticularly investigated, and the effect of treatment of the substrates on the cnt's growth is cri...

water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. incompatibility between injected and form...

the current study reports some interesting growth of novel in2o3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. the experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. for each of the depositions, the growth is st...
