Nanostructured CoFe2O4 particles were prepared by a sonochemical approach, first by preparation of the amorphous precursor powders, followed by heat treatment at relatively very low temperatures. The precursor was prepared by sonochemical decomposition of solutions of volatile organic precursors, Fe(CO)5 and Co(NO)(CO)3, in Decalin at 273 K, under an oxygen pressure of 100-150 kPa. The amorphou...

a new nano-sized lead(ii) coordination polymer, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2]n (1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)}, was synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) consist of metallocyclicchains formed by bridging no3- and 2-bpdh ligands. the thermal stability of compound was studied by thermal gravimetric and differen...

High intensity ultrasound can be used for the production of novel materials and provides an unusual route to known materials without bulk high temperatures, high pressures, or long reaction times. Several phenomena are responsible for sonochemistry and specifically the production or modification of nanomaterials during ultrasonic irradiation. The most notable effects are consequences of acousti...

An ultrasonic dental descaling instrument has been characterised using sonochemical techniques. Mapping the emission from luminol solution revealed the distribution of cavitation produced in water around the tips. Hydroxyl radical production rates arising from water sonolysis were measured using terephthalate dosimetry and found to be in the range of mol min -1 , comparable with those from a s...

The sonochemical acceleration of bleaching of Rhodamine B by sodium hypochlorite has been studied using ultrasound intensities in the range 0-7 W cm(-2). Using a 20 kHz ultrasonic horn, it was shown that ultrasound could significantly shorten the treatment time and/or the concentration of hypochlorite required for the reaction. A number of intermediate species formed during the reaction have be...

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) is a material that serves as photocatalyst for decomposing methylene blue pollutant. MOF can be constructed using several kinds of synthetic methods. This study aims to determine the alternative efficient and eco-friendly synthesis method isonicotinic acid-modulated chromium perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracharboxylate (Cr-PTC-HIna) solvothermal, hydrothermal, sonochemical,...

This review covers sonochemical fabrication of polymer nanocomposites. In addition to its application to the synthesis of various polymeric systems, due to its powerful efficiency, sonochemistry has been widely used not only as the assistant of dispersion for nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and organophillic clay, but also as a special initiator to enhance polymerization for fabric...

in this investigation, we report facile synthesis of cadmium(ii)-thioacetamide nanocomposites in the presence and absence of polyvinyl alcohol under ultrasonic irradiations, using cadmium acetate dihydrate (cd(ch3coo)2.2h2o), potassium iodide (ki), thioacetamide (taa, ch3csnh2), and polyvinyl alcohol (pva) as the starting materials. results show that in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol size...

a novel nano – sized  manganese (ii) coordination polymer, [{mn(ncs)2(l)(h2o)2}(l)]n  , (1) (l- = 4,4'-bipyridine), have been synthesized by a sonochemical process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), ir spectroscopy and elemental analysis.  direct calcination of the single crystals and nano-sized compound 1 at 400 0c under air atmosphere yields...
