In the present study, the interaction between nano-TiO2 and lysozyme was investigated by the method of UV-Vis detection and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The thermal denaturation of lysozyme has been investigated in the presence and absence of nano-TiO2 over the temperature range (293-373) K in different buffer and pH, using temperature scanning spectrosc...

a facile and simple method was proposed to control the size and shape of the mgo nano structures with high surface area in the presence of efficient and cheap templates like peg 200, peg 600, peg 4000 and sorbitol at low temperature within a little time. nano rods and nanoparticles have been achieved by applying these templates and altering other growth parameters. the products were characteriz...

An energetic micro-initiator through integrating Al/Ni nano-multilayers with Cu film bridge was investigated in this study. The Cu film bridge was initially fabricated with wet etching, and Al/Ni nano-multilayers were alternately deposited on the surface of Cu film bridge by magnetron sputtering. The periodic layer structure of Al/Ni nano-multilayers was verified by scanning electron microscopy...

Antibacterial nanocomposite polyester (PET) fibres were melt spun by adding nano ZnO loaded Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) master batch (MB) to the PET chips. The influence of content of nano ZnO on the antibacterial properties, crystallization behaviour and mechanical properties was studied. It was found that PET composite fibres having 1 % nano ZnO showed the optimum antibacterial ac...

To study the anomalous heat effect of Nibased binary-metal-nano-powder samples by gas-phase hydrogen isotope absorption/desorption, three kinds of samples CNZ, CNZ-II and NZ were tested for the temperature range 300-573 K. The highest excess heat power, ca. 2W/g-Ni was obtained with CNZ at 573 K. Peculiar H(D)-isotopic effect and sudden heat sink by abrupt H(D)-desorption were observed. The hea...

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is used in applications such as in optoelectronics, surface acoustic wave devices and transducers. In this paper nano-patterning of LiNbO3 wafers at the wafer scale is investigated using a novel low cost and large-area nano-imprinting technique. The formation of nano-scale pillars is presented by nano-imprinting an ordered nickel etch mask by lift-off on a y-cut LiNbO3 ...

Presented is the material and gas sensing properties of graphene-like nano-sheets deposited on 36° YX lithium tantalate (LiTaO3) surface acoustic wave (SAW) transducers. The graphene-like nano-sheets were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The graphenelike nano-sheet/SAW sensors were exposed to differen...

nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. for example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. there are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. one of the well-used ...

We propose a novel semiconductor compatible path for nano-graphene synthesis using precursors containing C-Br bonding and liquid catalyst. The unique combination of CBr4 as precursor and Ga as catalyst leads to efficient C precipitation at a synthesis temperature of 200 °C or lower. The non-wetting nature of liquid Ga on tested substrates limits nano-scale graphene to form on Ga droplets and su...

In this work, the microwave surface wave plasma (MWSWP) equipment is used to grow the carbon nano-materials at low temperature on different catalysts prepared by the so-called plasma assisted sol-gel synthesis method. Without any additional heating method, the plasma itself can heat up the substrate to about 280oC. By applying the -600V bias voltage, the substrate temperature can reach more tha...
