This study has investigated the impact of molar ratio CO2 to reductants NH3 and H2O as well that Cu loading on reduction characteristics over Cu/TiO2. No optimize reductants’ combination weight in order enhance performance TiO2 been yet. prepared Cu/TiO2 film by particles during pulse arc plasma gun process after coating sol-gel dip-coating process. As Cu, it was regulated change number. charac...

OBJECTIVE Different methods have been utilized to prevent enamel demineralization and other complications during orthodontic treatment. However, none of these methods can offer long-lasting and effective prevention of orthodontic complications or interventions after complications occur. Considering the photocatalytic effect of TiO2 on organic compounds, we hoped to synthesize a novel bracket wi...

In this work, we analyze the efficiency of the modification of the implant surface. This modification was reached by the formation of a two-level relief hierarchy by means of a sol-gel approach that included dip coating with subsequent shock drying. Using this method, we fabricated a nanoporous layer with micron-sized defects on the nanotitanium surface. The present work continues an earlier st...

In this work, a single-layer TiO2–ZrO2 thin film is deposited on the AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel by sol–gel process and dip coating method to improve its corrosion resistance properties. For sol preparation, titanium isopropoxide zirconium butoxide are used as precursors, yttrium acetate hydrate for ZrO2 stabilization, i-propanol solvent, nitric acid catalyst, acetylacetone chelating a...

This work is aimed to evaluate the role of nanoclay in the protective performance of an eco-friendly silane sol-gel layer applied on mild steel substrate in 0.1M sodium chloride solution. At the first step, the effect of pH of the silane solution, consisting of a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, on the coating performance was evaluate...
