in order to investigate antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of pomegranate peel powder (ppp), this research was conducted as completely randomized design arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment using pomegranate peel powder (0 and 2 percent) and soybean oil (so, zero and six percent in growing period; zero and eight percent in finishing period). one hundred and sixty 11-day-old ross 308 broi...

In this study, selenium was recovered from an industrial dust. After the purification process, the researchers were able to prepare selenium micro powder. The objective of this study was to prepare selenium nano particles by water solution phase method from the micro powders. The results showed that selenium micronized powder and nano particles had high purity. The obtained nanoparticles were t...

In micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), dielectric plays a significant role during the machining process as different types of dielectrics have different chemical compositions, cooling rates and dielectric strengths. For this, dissimilar process responses are accounted when machining in EDM at micron level. The present paper investigates micro-EDM characteristics such as material r...

Ni–51.4 at.% Ti (Nitinol) containing 24 and 34 vol.% orthogonally interweaving micro-channels with 350–400 lm diameters was fabricated by a powder-metallurgy method. NiTi powder preforms containing steel wire meshes arranged in parallel layers were hot-pressed into NiTi/steel composites, from which the meshes were removed electrochemically, thereby producing micro-channels with tailorable morph...

This study investigated the feasibility of the micro powder blasting technique for the micro fabrication of sensor structures using the Pyrex glass to replace the existing silicon-based acceleration sensor fabrication processes. As the preliminary experiments, the effects of the blasting pressure, the mass flow rate of abrasive and the number of nozzle scanning times on erosion depth of the Pyr...

Porous bone tissue engineering scaffolds were fabricated using both nano hydroxyapatite (nano HA) powder (20 nm average particle size) and micro HA powder (10 microm average particle size), resulting in sintered scaffolds of 59 vol% porosity and 8.6 +/- 1.9 microm average grain size and 72 vol% porosity and 588 +/- 55nm average grain size, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy was used to ...

Composite material based on Fe3Si micro-particles and Mn-Zn nano-ferrite was prepared using powder metallurgy technology. The sol-gel followed by autocombustion process was used for synthesis of Mn0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 ferrite. 3 wt.% of mechanically milled ferrite was mixed with Fe3Si powder alloy. Mixed micro-nano powder system was homogenized by the Resonant Acoustic Mixing using ResodynLabRAM Mixer...

Micro-powder injection molding (μ-PIM) is one of the most promising processes of mass production for the fabrication of small complexly shaped ceramic or metallic parts with high sintered density. However, dimensional accuracy of finished parts is difficult to achieve because of extremely high shear rates during the injection molding process. This promotes the separation of powder and binder ev...

Highly reflective magnetic powders have been available commercially for latent fingerprint development on dark background surfaces for a few years, however there are needs of a superior darker variety of the magnetic powder which would be ideally suitable for obtaining good contrast on light background surfaces. A novel dark magnetic powder is therefore suggested for the application in latent f...
