the purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (ha) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. the ha deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. methanol was found to be the best deposition media. among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pressur...

this paper is concerned with asphaltene deposition in fluid flowing through pipelines. brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. the thermo-physical properties of the fluid were obtained from iranian oil fields. a model was used in the pipeline deposition modeling to predict...

In this research, a sol-modified composite electrodeposition technique that combines the sol-gel method with the conventional electrodeposition process was utilized to deposit Ni-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques were applied to study the influence of the TiO2 sol concentration on the deposits’ electrochemical behavior. The results clearly showed t...

Water splitting for hydrogen production under sunlight using TiO2 as photo catalyst provides a better route for solar energy and attracts the attention of many researchers. The photo catalytic activity of TiO2 under sunlight irradiation depends on the band gap energy. The transition metal doped TiO2 shows an edge over TiO2 in optical absorbance and photo catalytic activity. Thin film of Cr dope...

Aluminum coating was prepared on AZ91D magnesium alloy substrate using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method in absolute ethanol solvent. In order to determine the optimal concentration of AlCl3.6H2O additive, the zeta potential and size of particles in the suspension were measured in the presence of different concentrations of AlCl3.6H2O. The results showed that an appropriate coating is...

Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy.&#10 We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relatio...

Potential ecophysiological responses to nitrogen deposition, which is considered to be one of the leading causes for global biodiversity loss, were studied for the endangered endemic Mexican epiphytic orchid, Laelia speciosa, via a shadehouse dose-response experiment (doses were 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1)) in order to assess the potential risk facing this orchid given impendi...
