The development of a catalytic chemiluminescent trimethylamine (TMA) sensor is demonstrated in the present paper. Intensive chemiluminescence (CL) is detected when TMA is introduced over the surface of nanosized catalysts and subsequently catalytically oxidized by O(2) from the air, and four catalysts are investigated with the strongest CL intensity obtained on nanosized Y(2)O(3). This effect i...

In a recent Letter, Kumar et al. [1] introduced a model for heat conduction in nanofluids (liquid suspensions of nanosized particles) that was capable of describing experimental results on thermal conductivity of nanofluids. The model was built in two steps. In the first step, a static problem (immobile particles) was considered in which the total heat flux was a sum of heat conduction by the l...

objective:at the present study, relationship between phagocytosis of plga particles and combined effects of particle size and surface pegylation was investigated.  materials and methods:microspheres and nanospheres (3500 nm and 700 nm) were prepared from three types of plga polymers (non-pegylated and pegylation percents of 9% and 15%). these particles were prepared by solvent evaporation metho...

MoS(2)@CMK-3 nanocomposite consisting of confined nanosized MoS(2) in CMK-3 carbon matrix exhibits much improved cycling performance and rate capability due to the enlarged interlayer distance and favorable conductivity.

Nanosized titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) particles are used in diverse products and devices, including photocatalytic water splitting and solar cells whose successful commercialization is still facing scientific and technologi-
