in this study, we describe the growth of carbon nanotubes on commercial iron nanoparticles without carbon shell (fe (nm), size 2o3 and fe* (nm)/mgo) was carried out by mixing commercial fe* nanoparticles (as catalyst) with al2o3 and mgo powders (as supports)by using ball-milling method. the results show in spite of the fact that ball-milling process can have negative effects on diameter and mor...

nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. for example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. there are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. one of the well-used ...

although cu and fe are immiscible under equilibrium conditions, they can form supersaturated solid solutions by mechanical alloying. in this paper, nano-structured of the metastable cu-fe phase containing 10, 15, 20 and 25% wt fe were synthesized by intensive ball milling for 15h, in order to achieve a solid solution of fe in cu. the phase composition, dissolution of the fe atoms into the cu ma...

Graphene sheets have been exfoliated from bulk graphite using high energy wet milling in two different solvents that were 2-ethylhexanol and kerosene. The milling process was performed for 60 h using a planetary ball mill. Morphological characteristics were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). On the other hand, the structural charact...

Hydroxyapatite/alpha-alumina composites were prepared by means of high-energy vibratory ball milling. The effect of the addition of alumina, from 5 to 25 wt%, was investigated. x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results indicated thathydroxyapatite andaluminawere themajorphases aftermechanicalmilling and only small peak shifts were observed. Transmission...

In this work, novel WO3-x/polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites were prepared by ball milling followed by stirring using a planetary mixer/de-aerator. The effects of phase transformation (WO₃ → WO2.8 → WO2.72) and different weight fractions of tungsten oxide on the optical performance, photothermal conversion, and thermal properties of the prepared nanocomposites were examined. It was found that the...
