Objective(s): So far, extensive research has been conducted on the preparation and characterization of nano ceramics based on Ca-Si by sol- gel method and bioactivity was evaluated, but, a few researches have paid attention to the preparation of materials by mechanical activation (MA). The aim of this study was the preparation of akermanite nano powder by mechanical activ...

nano sio2/hyperbranched polyglycerol (hpg)/so3h catalyst was readily prepared for first time from inexpensive starting materials in aqueous media which catalyzed the synthesis of benzoic acid. ftir spectra, x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron micrographs (tem) was employed to characterize the properties of the synthesized nano sio2/hpg/so3h. high catalytic activity and ease of rec...

ADAMs are membrane-anchored glycoproteins with functions in fertilization, heart development, neurogenesis, and protein ectodomain shedding. Here we report an evaluation of the catalytic activity of recombinantly expressed soluble forms of ADAM19, a protein that is essential for cardiovascular morphogenesis. Proteolytic activity of soluble forms of ADAM19 was first demonstrated by their autocat...

Pyrolysis is an applicable method that has been widely used to recover hydrocarbons from Used Lubricating Oil (ULO). However, large-scale application of this approach has been limited by its noticeably energy and time consuming nature. In the present research, it has been attempted to modify the energy and time requirements of ULO pyrolysis using the catalytic effects of metal oxide nanoparticl...

intermetallic phase formation and oxidation reaction during combustion synthesis (cs) of ni-ti equiatomic mixture are affected by mechanical activation (ma) and pre-heating conditions. important parameters are ignition time, reaction duration, temperature rise, microstructural change, titanium oxidation and intermetallic phase formation. superelasticity and shape memory effects are influenced b...

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in studies of catalytic metal clusters in metalloproteins based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid methods. These methods explicitly include the perturbational influence of the surrounding protein environment on the structural/functional properties of the catalytic centers. In conjunction ...

structural steels with very high strength levels are often referred to as ultrahigh-strength steels (uhss). the usage of uhss has been extensively studied in aerospace industries and offshore platforms. in this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (ams6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. a novel themomechanical ...

in this work, ternary polymer blends based on polypropylene (pp)/ polyethylene terephthalate (pet) /poly(styrene-b (ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (sebs) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride grafted sebs (sebs-g-mah) at various compositions were prepared by co-rotating twin screw extruder. the effects of pet, sebs and sebs-g-mah compatibilizer on morphology of the blends were ex...
