The properties of mineralogical and covalent inorganic polymers are brieffy described in the introductory part. Glass is an important polymer made up of rings and chains of silicate units which contain negatively charged oxygen atoms neutralized by positive metal ions. Glass and few other mineralogical types of inorganic polymers, like aluminum oxyde, could be fabricated into fibers and used as...

Combining multiple inorganic components is an effective approach to improve the mechanical properties of inorganic–organic hybrid materials. The can form interactions with organic polymer matrix, and there thus a need understand reinforcement mechanism under optimal combination particles. In this work, we prepared series dual particle–based titania/silica–poly(tetrahydrofuran)–poly( ? -caprolac...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

Inorganic arsenic is a chronic exposure carcinogen. Analysis of UK baby rice revealed a median inorganic arsenic content (n=17) of 0.11 mg/kg. By plotting inorganic arsenic against total arsenic, it was found that inorganic concentrations increased linearly up to 0.25 mg/kg total arsenic, then plateaued at 0.16 mg/kg at higher total arsenic concentrations. Inorganic arsenic intake by babies (4-...

microbial calcium carbonate, by bridging sand particles, can play an important role in sand dune stability. a study was carried out on the cementation of sand grains and infilling of pore spaces by caco3. two bacterial species (sporosarcina pasteurii and sporosarcina ureae), three reactant concentrations (0.5, 1 and 1.5m), and six reaction times (12, 24, 48, 96, 192 and 288 hours) were tested i...

abstract in order to assess the availability of phosphorous (p), different methods have been proposed in the last decades. the results of these methods in soils with various ph, calcium carbonate, organic matter, al and fe oxides and hydroxides and other properties especially in iranian soils can not be used. in addition, knowledge about transformation of p forms is necessary for perception of ...
