Nano-zeolite CoAPO-5 as a member of AFI family, was synthesized via a hydrothermal treatment, and structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The effects of crystallization temperature and time on the structure of these powder products were studied. XRD patterns of the synthesized powders revealed a h...

The densification response of aluminium powder reinforced with nanometric SiC particles (50 nm) during uniaxial compaction was studied. To determine the effect of SiC nanoparticles on the compressibility of the matrix, monolithic Al powder was also examined. The effect of SiC nanoparticles on the densification mechanisms, i.e. particle rearrangement and plastic deformation, was analysed using m...

This paper provides an overview on our recent investigations on the consolidation of hierarchy-structured nanopowder agglomerates and related applications to net-shaping nanopowder materials. Understanding the nanopowder agglomerate sintering (NAS) process is essential to processing of net-shaped nanopowder materials and components with small and complex shape. The key concept of the NAS proces...

The research investigates synthesized Nano-structured PbO2 using ball milling. The structure and morphology of the samples were determined in the process of milling by means of XRD and SEM. The size of particles was estimated through DLS analysis. The TEM image of the synthesized powder verifies the achievement of Nano dimensions. Design and analyses of the results using Taguchi methodology rev...

A new anti-corrosion compound, Melamine Formaldehyde (MF), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. This compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing SiO2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. This inhibitor provides a high level of protection f...

Chitosan-based nanogels have been widely applied as drug delivery vehicles. Spray-drying of said nanogels allows for the preparation of dry powder nano-embedded microparticles. In this work, chitosan-based nanogels composed of chitosan, alginate, and/or sodium tri-penta phosphate were investigated, particularly with respect to the impact of composition on the resulting physicochemical propertie...

Poly(o-anisidine) molybdophosphate was expediently obtained by sol-gel mixing of Poly(o-anisidine) into the inorganic matrices of molybdophosphate, which was allowed to react with silver nitrate to the formation of poly(o-anisidine) molybdophosphate embedded silver nano composite. The composite was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis Spectr...

The main aim of this paper was to determine the amount of Al2O3 reinforcement that results into best combination of strength. Magnesium nano composites containing 3.5, 7.0 and 14 volume percentage of Al2O3 were synthesized through powder metallurgy route. Resistance of furnace sintering technique (heating rate: 49°C/min).Micro structural characterization revealed reasonably uniform distribution...
