The application of fibers to reinforce cementitious materials is a well-known subject. At first, asbestos fibers are used in industrial process to produce fiber reinforced cement sheets. Thereafter, various types of synthetic fibers are produced and used as asbestos substitutes. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of synthetic fibers on the flexural behavior of cementitious co...

polyacrylonitrile (pan) membranes with nano-porous surface and high hydrophilicity were fabricated by addition of polyoxyethylene (40) nonylphenyl ether (igepal) as an additive in the casting solution. the membranes were prepared from pan/igepal/1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (nmp) via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. pure water was used as coagulation medium. the effects o...

In this paper, polyacrylonitrile PAN - titania TiO2 electrospun nanofiber PAN/TiO2 nanofiber was prepared via a facile electrospinning method. The characteristics of the PAN/TiO2 nanofiber were investigated using SEM and FTIR. The nanofiber showed retained nanofiber structures and high photocatalytic efficiency under UV light for the degradation of Direct Red 80 DR80 and Direct Red 23 DR23 in w...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

the experiment was investigated to survey of yield and yield components of sunflower cultivars under drought stress in 2012 in kabootatabad of esfahan farm. an experiment was conducted in split plot and was designed in randomized complete block with three replications. irrigation was as main plots in 3 levels (control (normal irrigation), irrigation of 130 mm evaporation from pan evaporation, i...
