BACKGROUND Cavitation is a rather common and important effect in the processes of destruction of nano- and microscale particles in natural and technological processes. A possible cavitation disintegration of polymineral nano- and microparticles, which are placed into a liquid, as a result of the interaction of the particles with collapsed cavitation bubbles is considered. The emphasis is put on...

This paper introduces a new methodology for the fabrication of strain-sensor elements for MEMS and NEMS applications based on the tunneling effect in nano-granular metals. The strain-sensor elements are prepared by the maskless lithography technique of focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID) employing the precursor trimethylmethylcyclopentadienyl platinum [MeCpPt(Me)(3)]. We use a cant...

according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...

background: the presence of heavy metals in the environment especially in water supplies have caused many concerns because of their toxicity and non-degradability. hexavalent chromium (cr) is one of the most toxic metals which is used in many industries, so it is essential to remove it from industrial wastewater. in this study, we made a comparison between different adsorption isotherms in the ...

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors are employed to detect target biomolecules which have particular resonance wavelengths. Accordingly, tunability of the LSPR wavelength is essential in designing LSPR devices. LSPR devices employing silver nano-particles present better efficiencies than those using other noble metals such as gold; however, silver nano-particles are easily oxi...

in this paper, nano fibers (engelhard corporation titanosilicate number 10 / polyacrylonitrile) ets-10 / pan, as a composite exchanger to absorb heavy metals, were synthesized and optimized. several parameters were affected on this absorption. results show that the optimization sizes of the nano fibers are about 75 nanometers. structures were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (sem) and e...

Recently, much has been written about the extreme urgency of elaborating the regulations for engineered nanomaterials. Such regulations are needed both from lawmakers, to protect people from potentially adverse effects, and from industry representatives, to prove that nanoproducts are produced carefully and with caution to avoid possible lawsuits. However, developing regulations has proven to b...
