Fe₃O₄/wood fiber composites are prepared with a green mechanical method using only distilled water as a solvent without any chemical agents, and then a binderless composite board with high mechanical properties is obtained via a hot-press for electromagnetic (EM) absorption. The fibers are connected by hydrogen bonds after being mechanically pretreated, and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) are attache...

In this work, nickel-based electrodes were prepared using composite electrodeposition technique in a nickel sulphamate bath containing suspended microor nano-sized CeO2 particles. The prepared NieCeO2 composite electrodes exhibit an enhanced high catalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline solutions. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the CeO2 particles have b...

for the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (ni) modified composite graphite (cg) electrode (hcp-nano ni/cg) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 m koh). the hcp-nano ni/cg electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare cg. the elec...

composite solid propellants were prepared with and without nano-alloys (ti-co, ti-ni, ti-zn), where nano-alloys used as catalyst. these nano-alloys are prepared by hydrazine reduction method. catalytic properties of these nanomaterials were measured on ammonium perchorate/hydroxyterminatedpolybutadiene propellant by thermogravimetery analysis and differential thermal analysis. both experimental...

The nano-Bi2WO6/reduced graphene oxide composite obtained by a simple hydrothermal reaction demonstrates a larger specific capacitance of 922 F/g at a charge and discharge currents of 3 A/g with longer cycle life. The As comparison, pristine Bi2WO6 nanoparticles have poor specific capacitance of 574 F/g at a charge and discharge currents of 2 A/g with weak cycle life. Though analyzing the Cycli...

A kind of spin crossover-macromolecule polymer composite material, [Fe(NH(2)trz)(3)(ClO(4))(2)]-PVP (NH(2)trz is 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole and PVP is polyvinylpyrrolidone), appears as homogeneous film with a regular structure in nano-scale and shows the spin crossover (SC) phenomenon.

This program aims at producing the next generation of molecular chemical and biological sensors [1]. Is is an interdisciplinary effort to manufacture electronic "noses" from arrays of nanostructured metal oxide sensors, each of which is specific to a given gas. Specificity in nanostructured oxides is achieved by exploiting their structure sensitivity. The ongoing research focuses on the study o...

OBJECTIVE Erosion of tooth surface is attributed to recent shift in diet pattern and frequent use of beverages. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of different beverages on surface topography and hardness of nano-filled composite material. METHODS Sixty flat disc shaped resin composite samples were fabricated and placed in distilled water for 24 hours. After 24 hours test sa...

The remanence of an isotropic nanocrystalline exchange-coupled composite system (comprising hard and soft magnetic phases) is investigated analytically within a simple (onedimensional) micromagnetic model, in which only exchange and anisotropy energies are considered. For a soft grain with size much less than its own Bloch wall width, our analysis shows that the magnetization distribution in th...
