titanium aluminide and its alloys have been utilized in automotive, aerospace and power industries because of their specific properties such as low density (~ 4 g/cm3), high melting temperature (~ 1460 °c) and excellent high-temperature strength. ti-48al intermetallic compound and its alloys with 1.5, 3 and 5 at.%mn were produced with mechanical alloying of elemental powders for 50 hours. the p...

The alloy Mo-47Re has favorable mechanical properties at temperatures above 1400 C, but it undergoes severe oxidation when used in air with no protective coating. To shield the alloy from oxidation, platinum cladding has been evaluated. The unprotected alloy undergoes catastrophic oxidation under static and dynamic oxidation conditions. The platinum cladding provides good protection from static...

Chlorine oxoanions with the chlorine atom at different oxidation states were introduced in an attempt to systematically tailor the electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The degree of selective oxidation was controlled systematically by the different oxidation state of the chlorine oxoanion. Selective suppression of the metallic SWCNTs with a minimal effect on the sem...

a fast and simple voltammetric method for the determination of methimazole in pharmaceutical products was reported. a glassy carbon electrode was pretreated by anodization at +1.75 v (vs. sce) for 5 min, followed by potential cycling in the range of 0.3-1.3 v (20 cycles). the pretreated electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic effect on the oxidation of methimazole. compared with untreate...

we studied the effect of different concentrations of alpha-tocopherol on in vitro cupric ions induced oxidation of low density lipoproteins (ldl). human native ldl (50 µg protein/ml) oxidation was induced by 10 µmol/l of cuso4. conjugated dienes were measured spectrophotometrically for up to 440 minutes. the length of the lag phase (tlag), maximum velocity of the reaction (vmax) and the maximum...

in the present study, silver oxyfluoride modified silver electrode was employed to electrocatalytic oxidation of isoniazid. the process of oxidation and its kinetics were established by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and amperometry techniques. the modified electrode shows a stable and linear response in the concentration range of 3×10−4 to 2.1×10−3 mol l-1 with a correlation coeff...

the electrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (mo) on pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. the results reveal that pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes possess higher oxygen evolution overpotential than pbo2 electrodes and the electrocatalytic degradation of mo on the electrodes is direct oxidation process. the influence of experimental p...

for the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (ni) modified composite graphite (cg) electrode (hcp-nano ni/cg) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 m koh). the hcp-nano ni/cg electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare cg. the elec...

the combination of graphene (gr) and nickel oxide nanoparticles (nio nps) yields nanostructured electrochemical sensor formed a novel kind of structurally uniform and electrocatalytic activity material. in cyclic voltammetry (cv) studies, in the presence of ep, nio/gr composite modified electrode shows a significantly higher current response for ep oxidation. based on differential pulse voltamm...
