The present paper investigated a preparation of Nano sized Mg0.2Fe0.8O by eco-friendly chemical combustion synthesis using magnesium and iron nitrates as oxidizers and the glycine as a fuel to drive the reaction. Powder characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to estimate crystallite size, Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), Thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) for determining sample...

Ultrasound-assisted crystallization (sonocrystallization) was used to prepare a mixture of nano- and micrometer-sized crystals of the monoclinic form of paracetamol-a widely used analgesic known for its particularly problematic mechanical behavior under compression (i.e. poor tabletability). The nano- and micrometer-sized crystals yielded a powder which exhibits elastic moduli and bulk cohesion...

In this work, polyamide (PA)/silica nanocomposite films prepared by dissolution method of composite mixing were investigated. The morphology of nanocomposite films were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals that nano silica powder were uniformly dispersed on PA silica nanocomposite film. Chemical composition of film was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

The structure of nano-crystalline Fe2O3 particles, synthesized using the microwave plasma technique, has been analysed using synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, as well as transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, magnetic properties, the crystal structure, and the microstructures are compared and the potential model character of the samples for st...

Porous yttria-stabilised zirconia ceramics have been gaining popularity throughout the years in various fields, such as energy, environment, medicine, etc. Although yttria-stabilised zirconia is a well-studied material, voided yttria-stabilised zirconia powder particles have not been demonstrated yet, and might play an important role in future technology developments. A sol-gel synthesis accomp...

In the present study, bioceramic composites based hydroxyapatite (HAp) reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was synthesized via sol-gel technique. The dried gels were individually heated at a rate of 5°C/min up to 600°C for 2 h in a muffle furnace in order to obtain HAp-MWCNTs mixed powder. Composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM/SAED/EDX and Raman spectroscopy techniques. Resu...

BACKGROUND Many researchers have tried to enhance materials functions in different aspects of science using nano-modification method, and in many cases the results have been encouraging. To evaluate the histopathological responses of the micro-/nano-size cement-type biomaterials derived from calcium silicate-based composition with addition of nano tricalcium aluminate (3CaO.Al2O3) on bone heali...

This paper systematically studied the modification of cement-based materials by nano-SiO₂ particles with an average diameter of about 20 nm. In order to obtain the effect of nano-SiO₂ particles on the mechanical properties, hydration, and pore structure of cement-based materials, adding 1%, 3%, and 5% content of nano-SiO₂ in cement paste, respectively. The results showed that the reaction of na...

In the present work, the activity of sono-catalytic synthetic nano-sized ZnO powder was studied via degradation of Direct Blue71 (DB71), an organic compound, as a case study. Nano-sized ZnO powder was synthesized without high-temperature activation then introduced to act as the sono-catalyst. Different characterization analyses were applied to demonstrate and confirm the structure of synthetic ...

nano-srtio3 and tio2 powders were synthesized using sol-gel method. the srtio3 and tio2 powders were characterized using xrd, sem, and spectrophotometry. xrd analysis indicated that the tio2 powder was uniform anatase crystals of 9.9 nm and the srtio3 powders was cubic nano-crystal of 16.2nm. photocatalytic experiments revealed that methyl orange in water can be decomposed on the two powders un...
