A novel pickle less combination tannage based on nano-SiO2 and oxazolidine as a substitute for chrome tanning has been developed. The size and distribution of nano-SiO2 in protein, the hydrothermal stability, the mechanical properties and the antifungal effect of final leather as well as the evaluation of eco-friendly characteristics of combination tannage were investigated. Scanning Electric M...

cotio3-clay nano-composites were synthesized via a conventional sol-gel method; the gel was calcinated at 500 - 800°c for 2 hours. the presence of rhombohedra phase of cotio3 in clay matrix was confirmed by xrd, ftir, sem. cobalt titanate-clay nano-composites were prepared with 5-20%(w/w) by sol-gel method. the spectra results were investigated at 20% (w/w) concentration .the optimum condition ...

The paper presents novel structures of Nano gas sensor arrays by using ZnO and doped with aluminum . ZnO Nanomaterial are successfully prepared using sol-gel technique . These include, similar and dissimilar structures. All used sensors are composed of zinc oxide doped with aluminum at different concentrations for dissimilar structures, and with the same concentration for similar structures. Th...

The fabrication of nanostructures having diameters of sub-5 nm is very a important issue for bottom-up nanofabrication of nanoscale devices. In this work, we report a highly controllable method to create sub-5 nm nano-trenches and nanowires by combining area-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as templates. Alumina nano-trenches having a depth of ...

Excess use of chemical pesticides in agriculture assisting the accomplishment of agri-food production targets. But, indiscriminate use of chemical pesticide is the serious concern for environment and human, which deteriorating the soil health, nutritional quality of food and increasing resistance in phyto-pathogens and pests. Nanotechnology provided the sustainable solution in this regard by de...

In this work, the electronic properties of BP and CSi Nano cones have been investigated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in water solvent at B3PW91/6-31G (d,p) level of DFT theory for study of  for interactions of 5-Fluorouracil Anticancer Drug with theses Nano cones. The percent of change of energy gap (%ΔEg) shows that the complex formation of 5-Fluorouracil with BP ...

basil (ocimum basilicum l.) belongs to the lamiaceae family as a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine in iran. the purpose of this test is to evaluate the effect of nano fe-chelate under salinity levels on the plant physiology and morphology characteristics. in this experiment  investigated the effect of nano fe-chelate and salinity stress on growth parameters, photosynthetic leaves rat...

Tailoring materials to obtain unique, or significantly enhanced material properties through rationally designed structures rather than chemical constituents is principle of metamaterial concept, which leads to the realization of remarkable optical and mechanical properties. Inspired by the recent progress in electromagnetic and mechanical metamaterials, here we introduce the concept of ferroele...

As socie ty becomes more comfortable discussing genetics and its related ethics, a new technology is blossoming in the background. Nanotechnology may speak the same societal language as does genetics, in that both technological movements involve tiny science and large imagination. In a way, it is natural—and almost inevitable—that the genetic revolution and the nanotechnology revolution be comp...

In this work, we present new results about the non-enzymatic detection of lindane by using CuO-MnO2 hierarchical nano-microstructures. The linear range for the determination of lindane is up to 700 μM with a limit of detection of 4.8 nM, which is much lower than for other non-enzymatic lindane sensors.
