Ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. The prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), 2 N  adsorption (BET) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventio...

In nuclear reactors, severe radiation environments continuously alter thermo-mechanical and chemical properties of nuclear fuel materials (actinide based alloys and ceramics) [1]. The physics and chemistry of such materials increase in complexity due to irradiation effects. To address these issues, several projects have been developed all over the world to assess the properties of multi-compone...

Nano-crystalline TiO2 were synthesized by combustion method using metal nitrate solution and urea, glycin and citric acid fuels. Microwave irradiation was used as heating source. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were performed to characterize the obtained samples. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that in the case of citric aci...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...
