One of the fabrication methods for functionally graded materials (FGMs) is a centrifugal solid-particle method, which is an application of the centrifugal casting technique. However, it is the difficult to fabricate FGMs containing nano-particles by the centrifugal solid-particle method. Recently, we proposed a novel fabrication method, which we have named the centrifugal mixed-powder method, b...

one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (cnts) is as reinforcement of metal matrix composites, because of their excellent mechanical properties. in this study, al-tio2-multi walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) nanocomposite is fabricated using isostatic pressing followed by hot extrusion. mechanical alloying is used to mix powders of aluminium, tio2 and mwcnts. tio2 with the amo...

Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation in a suspension system requires a sophisticated nano-device that combines a photon absorber with effective redox catalysts. This study demonstrates an innovative molecular linking strategy for fabricating photocatalytic materials that allow effective charge separation of excited carriers, followed by efficient hydrogen evolution. The method for the s...

A nano-grid structure of perovskite SrTiO3 NWs is developed for a novel electron transport layer in inverted polymer solar cells. Due to the excellent charge transporting properties of the SrTiO3 nano-grid structure, the device employing this nanostructure showed ∼32% enhanced photovoltaic performance, compared to the solar cell using a TiO2 thin film.

The photodegradation of Direct Blue 258, a member of the group of azo dyes which are commonly used in the various branches of the industry, was studied. The photostability of this dye was not previously surveyed. Photocatalytic degradation method was evaluated. The both light source include solar simulated (UV 400 W lamp) and sun light (E= 400 W/m2) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacies of antibacterial and antioxidant activities of aqueous leaf extract of Psidium guajava mediated biosynthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). METHODS Synthesized TiO2 NPs were tested by disc diffusion method against against human pathogenic bacteria. The total antioxidant activity and phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau method) of synthesized ...

The development of rapid and reliable processes for the synthesis of nano materials is of great importance in the field of nanotechnology. In this paper, the synthesis of Chitosan/TiO2 nanocomposites was carried out by using LPD technology in aqueous medium. The method was performed by mixing the chitosan with TiO2 in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol as the capping agent. In this work, Chitosa...

The use of Polypropylene as support material for nano-TiO2 photocatalyst in the photodegradation of Alizarin Red S in water solutions under the action of visible light was investigated. The optimization of TiO2 pastes preparation using two commercial TiO2, Aeroxide P-25 and Anatase, was performed and a green low-cost dip-coating procedure was developed. Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic Forc...
