Nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA)/zinc oxide (ZnO) complex was synthesized by a direct precipitation method, and the antibacterial capability and antibacterial mechanism of this complex were investigated in this article. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the materials. In additio...

Zeolite Na-A supported ZnO nanocomposites (ZnO/Zeolite NCs) were synthesized at low temperature (70 °C) via the sol-gel process and characterized for thermal, structural, morphological, adsorption, optical bonding properties. Both XRD microscopy imaging results indicated that obtained nanopowders crystalline in nature with no structural collapse revealed. The nanoparticles occurred mainly on su...

Mold powders in continuous casting of steel contain fluorine through mainly CaF2 and occasionally NaF and Na3AlF6. Fluorine develops dangerous gases such as SiF4 and HF at high temperatures. In this study, CaF2 is partly replaced by substances such as Na2CO3, ZnO and Fe2O3.Sulfur free Portland cement clinker containing gypsum was used as a new product base. These additions developed comparable ...

Occlusion of copolymer particles within inorganic crystalline hosts not only provides a model for understanding the crystallisation process, but also may offer a direct route for the preparation of novel nanocomposite materials with emergent properties. In the present paper, a series of new well-defined anionic diblock copolymer nanoparticles are synthesised by polymerisation-induced self-assem...

One dimensional metal oxide nanostructures have attracted much attention owing to their fascinating functional properties. Among them, piezoelectricity and photocatalysts along with their related materials have stirred significant interests and widespread studies in recent years. In this work, we successfully transformed piezoelectric ZnO into photocatalytic TiO2 and formed TiO2/ZnO axial heter...

Abstract ZnO-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2-SiO2-Ta2O5 (ZnO-based) linear resistance ceramics with doping different molar percentages of Ta2O5 were prepared by a conventional method. Effects additives on the phase composition, microstructures, and electrical properties ZnO-based resistive investigated. The results show that can refine grains main crystalline ZnO secondary ZnAl2O4 in terms microstructure, also ...

Heat conduction in ceramics is attributed to phonon propagation, which can be strongly suppressed at boundaries. Usually, polycrystals show lower thermal conductivity (?) than single crystals, as contain many grain For functional applications management technologies, with low are required. While boundary engineering effective for reducing ?, its utilization limited by the fact that other proper...

In this study nano-crystalline ZnO particles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solution combustion method. Zinc nitrate and urea were used as oxidizer and fuel, respectively. The effect of fuel to oxidizer (F/O) ratio on ZnO powder properties was investigated by using different urea/nitrate ratios. X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infra-red were used...
