Sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure ZnO nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared nanorods were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC), UV- Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett Joyner Halenda (BJH) pore size distributio...

S-doped and bare mesoporous TiO2 were prepared using titanium tetraisopropoxide and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared materials were characterized by means of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett–Joy...

Sedimentary microbial communities play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, oxidizing deposited organic and thus influencing type of buried from Earth's surface. The rate metabolism within sedimentary is often linked to lability amount deposited. Here we show that, pure culture, for sulfate-reducing bacteria (Desulfovibrio bizertensis) sulfate reduction function proportion clay minerals ...

Pore size distributions (PSD) and supercritical H2 isotherms have been measured for two activated carbon fiber (ACF) samples. The surface area and the PSD both depend on the degree of activation to which the ACF has been exposed. The low-surface-area ACF has a narrow PSD centered at 0.5 nm, while the high-surface-area ACF has a broad distribution of pore widths between 0.5 and 2 nm. The H2 adso...

Abstract The pore-structure characteristics of hybrid basalt–polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete were investigated by using mercury intrusion porosimetry. applicability various fractal models in characterising the HBPRC pore structure was compared. results show that types and content fibres different influences on cumulative volume basalt-polypropylene concrete. Compared with pore-volume so...

manganese (?) complex with 2, 2? bipyridine, 1, 1? dioxide (bpdo) ligand was immobilized within nanoreactors of mcm-41. the immobilized complex was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption desorption, and ftir. the pore volume, surface area and pore diameter of mcm-41 decreased after immobilization of mn complex. three bands observed at 1250, 1220 cm?1 and 757 cm?1 a...

To heal tissue defects, cells have to bridge gaps and generate new extracellular matrix (ECM). Macroporous scaffolds are frequently used to support the process of defect filling and thus foster tissue regeneration. Such biomaterials contain micro-voids (pores) that the cells fill with their own ECM over time. There is only limited knowledge on how pore geometry influences cell organization and ...

One of the varieties of pores, often found in natural or artificial building materials, are the so-called blind pores of dead-end or saccate type. Three-dimensional model of such kind of pore has been developed in this work. This model has been used for simulation of water vapor interaction with individual pore by molecular dynamics in combination with the diffusion equation method. Special inv...
