A modified aqueous sol-gel route was developed using ultrasonic power for the silica coating of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles. In this approach, organosilane with an amino functional group was first used to cover the surface of as-received nanoparticles. Subsequent silica coating was initiated and sustained under power ultrasound irradiation in an aqueous mixture of surface-treated parti...

proteases are important enzymes that their role in various industries is undeniable. however, keeping enzymes stable during its activity in harsh conditions is so important. in this study, protease enzyme was immobilized on the porous silica particles and its stability in different temperatures and phs was evaluated. first silica particles were aminated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane then the ...

Supported olefin polymerization catalysts can prevent reactor-fouling problems and produce uniform polymer particles. Constrained geometry complexes (CGCs) have less sterically hindered active sites than bis-cyclopentadienyl metallocene catalysts. In the literature, micrometer-sized silica particles were used for supporting CGC catalysts, which might have strong mass transfer limitations. This ...

AIM This study examines the absolute quantification of particle uptake into cells. METHODS We developed a novel method to analyze stacks of confocal fluorescence images of single cells interacting with nano-and micro-particles. Particle_in_Cell-3D is a freely available ImageJ macro. During the image analysis routine, single cells are reconstructed in 3D and split into two volumes - intracellu...

The synthesis, structure and mechanical properties of inorganic organic nanocomposites are investigated: The systems consist of an aliphatic amine cured Bisphenol-F-based epoxy resin as organic matrix and SiO2 and ZrO2 nanoparticles as inorganic fillers. Silica and zirconia nanoparticles have been prepared in two different size ranges, one in the upper nano range (30-60 nm) and other in the low...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...

This research is designed to check the potential of modifying concrete with nanomaterials enhance cyclic behavior beam?column joints. It also studies effect heat on joints modified nanomaterials. Experimental and numerical programs are carried out explore heat-damaged unheated RC Six half-scale exterior beam-to-column were prepared; two control specimens, specimens nano-silica nano-alumina, nan...
