Abstract In this study, a robust macroscale liquid superlubricity with coefficient of friction 0.004 was achieved by introducing molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 CT x ) MXene nanoparticles as lubricating additives in lithium hexafluorophosphate-based ionic at Si 3 N 4 —sapphire interfaces. The maximal contact pressure the state could reach 1.42 GPa, which far exceeds limit regime previous studies. resu...

A detailed study of the methanol chemisorption and oxidation processes on oxide surfaces allowed the development of a method to quantify the number of surface active sites (Ns) of metal oxide catalysts. In situ infrared analysis during methanol adsorption showed that molecular methanol and surface methoxy species are co-adsorbed on an oxide surface at room temperature, but only surface methoxy ...

Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) and TZM molybdenum have excellent creep resistance and strength at high temperatures in inert atmospheres. Fracture toughness and tensile testing was performed at temperatures between -1 50°C and 450°C to characterize 6.35 mm thick plate material of ODS and TZM molybdenum. A transition from low fracture toughness values (5.8 to 29.6 MPaJm) to values > 30 MPaJ...

molybdenum thin films with 50 and 150 nm thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrates, using dc magnetron sputtering system, then post-annealed at different temperatures (200, 325, 450, 575 and 700°c) with flow oxygen at 200 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute). the crystallographic structure of the films was obtained by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. an atomic force micr...

This study was undertaken to address the current deficient knowledge of cellular response to nanosized particle exposure. The study evaluated the acute toxic effects of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles proposed for future use in industrial production methods using the in vitro rat liver derived cell line (BRL 3A). Different sizes of nanoparticles such as silver (Ag; 15, 100 nm), molybdenum (MoO(...

background: antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. methods: in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

the antimicrobial effect of metal nanoparticles such as zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles has been taken into great consideration separately during recent years. the useful application of these nanoparticles in the areas of medicine, biotechnology, and professional prevention of microbes motivated us. the aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity properties of silver doped zinc...

in this research, the inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles and zinc oxide nanoparticles,  in vitro, on disease stone fruits bacterial canker caused by pseudomonas syrigae pv. syringae and disease bacterial blight caused by xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis, were studied. different concentrations of nanoparticles were prepared on mueller hinton agar medium in two different ways in a com...
