Abstract The lubricity of coatings made from different types carbon nanoparticles such as onions, nanohorns and nanotubes is investigated on line-patterned AISI 304 stainless-steel substrates using ball-on-disc tribometry over 200,000 sliding cycles. Picosecond direct laser interference patterning used to create line-patterns the substrate surfaces which are subsequently coated by electrophoret...

Adhesive bonding technology is being used in a variety of modern industries, including the automotive, aerospace, maritime, construction, defense and so on. On the other side, polymeric nano - composites attracted both academic and industrial interests in the past decades. The scope of this paper is experimental investigation on the effects of the addition of Alpha-alumina nanoparticles to the ...

One strategy in creating functional nanostructures is templating where active nanoparticles are arranged on a regular nanoscale array of anchor sites on an inert substrate. An extraordinarily well ordered substrate with a 4.2 nm template periodicity is an alumina (aluminum oxide) film grown on a Ni3Al(111) metallic alloy support. Templating on the alumina film is facilitated by a dot and a netw...

Platinum nanoparticles with a mean size of 1.7 nm were synthesized by reduction in sodium acetate solution in 1,2-ethanediol. The particles were then functionalized with dodecylamine, dodecanethiol, and omega-mercapto-undecanoic acid (MUDA). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed important variations of the particle surface state with fu...

in this study, undoped zno and doped with fe and mn nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. the morphology of nanostructures was characterized by scanning electron microscope. the electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of zno and also zno doped with fe and mn toward levodopa (l-dopa) was studied. studies of cyclic voltammetry using pro...

a palladium composite membrane was prepared via electroless plating technique using organic-inorganic method during activation process. the ceramic support surface was modified by two tio2-boehmite and one γ-alumina layers to avoid pd penetration in support pores. thin and defect-free pd composite membrane was obtained by creating a relative smoothness on the ceramic support and using pd nanopa...

a novel magnetic mixed hemimicell solid phase extraction (mmhspe) technique for speciation analysis of soluble, ferrous and ferric iron in legumes sample by flame atomic absorption spectrometry analysis (faas) was developed. mmhspe system consisting of alumina-coated magnetite nanoparticles (fe3o4/al2o3nps) modified by sodium dodecylsulfate-1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (sds-pan) have been succes...

The mathematical analysis of time-independent mobility a modified blood-based Casson hybrid nanofluid including dissimilar nanomaterials in convergent/di?vergent channel with stretchable/shrinkable walls is investigated. cumulative impact magnetic and electric fields governs the flow nanofluids. In this study, mediated fluid containing three unique (titania oxide, alumina silver nanoparticles) ...

Increasing the thermal conductivity of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) based microfluidics is an important issue for the thermal management of hot spots produced by embedding electronic circuits in such systems. This paper presents a solution for enhancing the thermal conductivity of such PDMS based microfluidics by introducing thermally conductive alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles, forming PDMS/Al2O3 ...
