Oxide nanoparticles can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their limited size and a high density of corner or edge surface sites. In this study, MgO nanoparticle was synthesized using Mg(CH3COO)2 and hexamethylenetetramine as starting materials. The structure and optical properties of these particles are investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), sc...

In the present investigation, Bambusa bambos was used for optimization of enzymatic pretreatment and saccharification. Maximum enzymatic delignification achieved was 84%, after 8 h of incubation time. Highest reducing sugar yield from enzyme-pretreated Bambusa bambos was 818.01 mg/g dry substrate after 8 h of incubation time at a low cellulase loading (endoglucanase, β-glucosidase, exoglucanase...

The effects of black tea polyphenol extract (BTPE) on the retrogradation of starches from different plant sources were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). DSC analysis shows that the gelatinization temperature of maize starch and starches from different rice varieties increased with increasing BTPE level. After storage at 4 °C, BTPE at a concentrat...

the nanocrystallization of co67fe4cr7si8b14 amorphous ribbons which prepared by planar flow melt spinning process (pfms) was investigated. crystallization of the ribbons was studied by differential thermal analysis (dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the dta result of amorphous ribbon at heating rate of 10˚c/min showedoccurrence of phase transitions in two...

Undoped Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles as well as ZnO nanoparticles doped with Magnesium (Mg) were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using Zinc acetate and Magnesium acetate in Ethylene glycol and distilled water medium. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns show the pattern of typical ZnO nanoparticles and correspond with st...
