To develop a new drug delivery system, antibacterial 50-900 nm nanoparticles of shell and internal organs from scallops collected off Huksan-Island, Korea, were prepared by dry grind technology respectively. The diameters, identities, and conformations of the scallop shell and internal organ particles were determined with a particle-size analyzer and by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning ...

Microstructural, topology, inner morphology, and gas-sensitivity of mixed xWO(3)(1-x)Y(2)O(3) nanoparticles (x = 1, 0.95, 0.9, 0.85, 0.8) thick-film semiconductor gas sensors were studied. The surface topography and inner morphological properties of the mixed powder and sensing film were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy ...

Blown-powder laser surface alloying was performed on the magnesium alloy AZ91D with Al-Si alloy powder to improve corrosion resistance. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of Mg2Si, Al12Mg17 and Al3Mg2 were formed in the matrix of α-Mg and Al solid solutions...

An organic material N-methyl-4-nitroaniline (NMNA) has been grown by the slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The grown NMNA crystal crystallized using three different solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and acetone, respectively. The grown crystal system and crystallinity were determined by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. F...

Cobalt-doped tungsten disulfide nanorods were synthesized by an approach involving exfoliation, intercalation, and the hydrothermal process, using commercial WS2 powder as the precursor and n-butyllithium as the exfoliating reagent. XRD results indicate that the crystal phase of the sample is 2H-WS2. TEM images show that the sample consists of bamboo-like nanorods with a diameter of around 20 n...

In this work, we report the optical and thermal properties of Cu(BTC)·3H₂O (BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and Zn(ADC)·DMSO (ADC = 9,10- anthracenedicarboxylic acid, DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) micro/nanopillars. The morphologies of MOFs on surfaces are most in the form of micro/nanopillars that were vertically oriented on the surface. The size and morphol...

Abstract In this project, nano-ZrO2 particles were dispersed in aluminum powder by a Y-shape mixer. The particle size of ZrO2 powder was < 40 nm and the amount of ZrO2 reinforcement varies from 3 to 15%.The mixed powders were compacted .Subsequently the compacted discs were sintered both in the microwave oven and in the conventional muffle furnace .Using microwave –assisted sintering method led...

Alumina-titania coatings are widely used in industry for wear, abrasion or corrosion protection components. Such layers are commonly deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using powder as feedstock. In this study, both Al2O3 and Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2 coatings were deposited on austenitic stainless steel coupons by suspension plasma spraying (SPS). Two commercial suspensions of nanosized Al2...

co2+ & er3+ co-doped zno nanocrystals were synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 180°c and ph= 12 for 48 h. powder xrd patterns indicate that the zn1-2xerxcoxo crystals (0.00

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was applied to prepare various composites of rGO/photocatalyst of G/TiO2, G/ZnO and G/Ta2O5, using titanium (IV) isopropoxide, Zn powder and commercial Ta2O5 powder as photocatalyst precursors, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric-differential t...
