The magnetic properties of calcined cobalt ferrite formed by nano-crystalline powders have been compared by two different methods (co-precipitation and hydrothermal). The structural properties of the produced powders were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the formation of cobalt ferrite spinel structures is effected by changing me...

In the course of preparing carbamyl phosphate synthetase from frog liver, a crystalline protein fraction was obtained which proved to be glutamate dehydrogenase. Because of the considerable interest in this enzyme and the striking differences in certain properties of this enzyme from different animal sources (l-6), it seemed of importance to study the kinetic properties of crystalline frog live...

Manipulation makes light work: The morphology and rheological properties of a liquid-crystalline system can be dynamically manipulated with UV light by attaching photoresponsive liquid-crystalline moieties to a siloxane-based polymer. Stimulation with UV light induces a conformational change in the molecule, which disrupts the liquid-crystalline mesophase (see picture), and results in a dramati...

The improvement of the physical properties of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. In this study the ITO film is deposited by RF sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si), and glass substrates coated with ZnO and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°C. Electrical, optical, structural a...

this study investigated the effect of different concentrations of nanocrystalline cellulose (ncc) on the physical properties of starch-ncc nanocomposites. the nanoparticle distribution in the polymer matrix was investigated using x-ray diffraction. the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the film were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile testing. investigation of n...

Abstract There are various methods to produce iron based nano crystalline magnetic alloys. Among these methods, mechanical alloying is one of the most important. In this research, nano crystalline Fe85Si10Ni5 soft magnetic alloy was synthesized by mechanical alloying. The effect of alloying time on phase constituents and magnetic properties of the produced powders was investigated, by X-ray di...

Lactose is a widely used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It exists as anhydrous, αand βmonohydrate forms, which can be either crystalline or amorphous. Commercially available lactose comes in various grades differentiated by physical forms as well as modifications such as particle size. These characteristic modifications enable formulation and processing. Lactose grades for direct com...
