A new synthesis strategy towards gold-coated silica nanoparticles is presented. The method provides an efficient, reliable and facile-coating process of well-defined star-shaped shell structures, characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, PXRD, DLS zeta-potential measurements. marked red shift the Au-based plasmonic band to region first biological window observed offering great potential for future research...

Abstract In this paper, the composition and properties of two different activated calcinated clays were investigated under selected curing conditions. The tendency metabentonite metakaoline to form geopolymers zeolites was by FTIR spectroscopy, TGA DSC techniques, PXRD, HT-PXRD, SEM, BET-N 2 adsorption analyses. selection optimal sample compositions done on a basis preliminary results obtained ...

Magnesium borohydride (Mg(BH4)2) is an attractive compound for solid-state hydrogen storage due to its lucratively high densities and theoretically low operational temperature. Hydrogen release from Mg(BH4)2 occurs through several steps. The reaction intermediates formed at these steps have been extensively studied a decade. In this work, we apply spectroscopic methods that rarely used in such ...

Quality by design, applied to the development of a pharmaceutical drug, demands scientific methodologies, representing source information that will allow for complete understanding production process and materials used its manufacturing. Although SeDeM system is tool enables rational product, result does not assure an assessed material or mixture be successful in terms compression, hence, furth...
