Aluminum nanoparticles are being considered as a possible fuel in advanced energetic materials application. Of considerable interest therefore is a knowledge of just how reactive these materials are, and what the effect of size on reactivity is. In this paper we describe results of size resolved oxidation rate using a recently developed quantitative single particle mass spectrometer (SPMS). Alu...

Amperometric lactate biosensors are used to detect lactate concentration in blood and tissues, which is integral in identifying cyanide poisoning, septic shock, and athletic condition. The construction of lactate biosensors with high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is imperative to diagnose and determine these medical conditions. Lactate detection is currently limited to oxygen-rich env...

Reducing the flammability of polymeric materials is a serious problem that needs to be solved. The paper presents results study effect iron nanopowders, used as filler, on epoxy polymers. Epoxy composites filled with 5 wt. % nanopowder and 10 boric acid separately, well in combination were prepared. prepared samples was evaluated by determining ignition temperature time-to-ignition.
