For understanding the microstructual details of nano-size oxide particles, three types of ODS ferritic and austenitic steels were examined by high voltage electron microscopy, EDS and AP-FIM. The oxide included Y, Ti and O and showed a shell-like structure with different composition. The shell-like structure depends on crystal structure of the matrix during fabrication process. To evaluate the ...

zinc oxide (zno) nanopowders were synthesized by the sol–gel method from an ethanol solution of zinc sulfate heptahydrate in the presence of diethylene glycol surfactant. detailed structural and microstructural investigations were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem), fourier tra...

Nano-sized particles of manganese oxides have been prepared by a very simple and cheap process using a decomposing aqueous solution of manganese nitrate at 100 °C. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectrometry have been used to characterize the phase and the morphology of the manganese oxide. The nano-sized manganese oxide shows efficient cata...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are being increasingly utilized in a variety of products and applications and are therefore commonly discharged into aquatic environments, increasing exposure and potentially impacting aquatic organisms. Zinc oxide nanoparticles can depress growth of some marine phytoplankton, and several examples of nanoparticle trophic transfer have been documented, although not...

In this work, growth and assembly of the micro polyhedral zinc oxide was performed using airbubble assisted Triton X100, as a templating agent. In absence of air bubbling in the reactionsystem the nano plate zinc oxide was synthesized. The prepared samples were characterized by Xraydiffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Visspectrop...

Simple dynamic light scattering (DLS)-based methodologies were developed to determine primary particle size distribution of iron oxide particles in simulated gastrointestinal fluid. Iron oxide particles, which easily agglomerate in aqueous media, were converted into dispersed particles by modification of surface charge using citric acid and sodium citrate. After the modification, zeta-potential...

The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles on embryonic development following oocyte stage exposure are unknown and the underlying mechanisms are sparsely understood. In the current investigation, intact nanoparticles were detected in ovarian tissue in vivo and cultured cells in vitro under zinc oxide nanoparticles treatment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure during the oocyte stage inhibited embr...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the most important bioactive ceramics because of biocompatibility and structural similarity to the mineral part of bones and teeth of broad clinical application in the field of dentistry, orthopedic and coatings are Biomaterials. The aim of this study was to construct nano-hydroxyapatite micro particles using calcite, silica and zinc oxide using ball milling, powder, thes...

Cyanide is an extreme hazard and extensively found in the wastes of refinery, coke plant, and metal plating industries. A simple, fast, cost-effective, room-temperature wet chemical route, based on cyclohexylamine, for synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles in aqueous and enthanolic media was established and tested for the photodegradation of cyanide ions. Particles of polyhedra morphology were ...
