Nano-silica-bonded 3-n-propyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride (nano-SB-[PSIM]Cl) was applied as a highly efficient, general and heterogeneous catalyst for one pot multi-component reaction of 2-naphthol, arylaldehydes, and thioacetamide leading to 1-thioamidolakyl-2-naphthols. All reactions proceeded with excellent yields in short times under solvent-free conditions. Our protocol was superi...

Multifunctional silica nano-vehicles (SiO2@indol-IL) and magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@indol-IL) were constructed through the Schiff bases condensation of indole-3-carboxaldehyde and 4-acetyl-N-allyl pyridinium chloride (ILs) with the amine groups of silica and magnetic nanoparticles. SiO2@indol-IL can inhibit the proliferation of HepG-2 cells in 48 h. Fe3O4@indol-IL can mimic the function of c...

The aim of this study was to improve the adhesion performance of plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coatings on steel substrates by using nanoparticles. For this purpose, the PVC plastisol with different concentration of nano-silica was prepared and applied to bond steel joints. The adhesive strength of the joints was determined by single-lap shear test. Moreover, mechanical properties and mi...

in this study, different contents of nano-silica, 2 wt.%, 4 wt.% and 6 wt.%, have been added to bitumen tomodify the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of warm mix asphalt (wma). wma iscontaining 2 wt.% of sasobit (mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons). various quality control tests have beencarried out to characterize the modified bitumen and wma. the rheological investigations show...

Nano-silica, one of the substances boosting the field of nanomaterials, can be produced by dissolving olivine in acid. The dissolution of olivine is a convenient alternative route to the existing methods of nano-silica production (neutralization of sodium silicate and flame hydrolysis) because the olivine dissolution is a low temperature process making this method cheaper and greener. Furthermo...

This paper studies the recent investigations and development of combined application of Pozzolanic additions Nano-Silica (NS) and Fly Ash (FA) on the strength properties of concrete for sub sequential growth of concrete industry. This investigation not only saves the natural resources but also controls the environmental pollution by usage of wastes. The limited work is done on partial replaceme...

A nano-composite powder composed of silica and carbon with a unique property could be prepared from a mixture of a silicate compound and an epoxy compound, in which the silica within the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of as high as greater than 800m2/g although the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of less than 10m2/g. It was estimated that the silica and the carbon are...

In this study, the synthesis, characterization and controlled release behavior of new Hollow Silica Nano particles (HSNPs) and Magnetic Silica Nano Particles (MSNPs) were studied. Magnetic Silica Nano particles (MSNPs), as drug delivery vehicles, were synthesized through the coating of Fe3O4 nano-crystals with silica layers. The HSNPs were obtained by removal of Fe3O4 templates with hydrochlori...

abstract self compacting concrete (scc) is a new construction material in the world. the aim of this research is to construct self compacting concrete with high compressive strength using combination of nano silica and micro silica. for this purpose, nano silica, micro silica, portland cement type 2, superplasticizer (sp), and gravel and sand have been used. three different groups of samples wi...
