Synthesis of nanomaterials by a simple, low cost and in high yield has been a great challenge since the very early development of nanoscience. Various bottom and top down approaches have been developed so far, for the commercial production of nanomaterials. Among all top down approaches, high energy ball milling, has been widely exploited for the synthesis of various nanomaterials, nanograins, ...

one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (cnts) is as reinforcement of metal matrix composites, because of their excellent mechanical properties. in this study, al-tio2-multi walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) nanocomposite is fabricated using isostatic pressing followed by hot extrusion. mechanical alloying is used to mix powders of aluminium, tio2 and mwcnts. tio2 with the amo...

Gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. High specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. They are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. In this research, nano Al particles have been used in UDMH gel fuel. The gel...

The nano-sized particle-reinforced metal matrix composites are the new potential material which could be applied in many industry fields, possess superior strength, ductility, and wear resistance comparison with micro-sized composites. However, fabrication methods of nanoparticles complex expensive. In present research, micron size SiC particles milled for 45-hours wet milling arrangement a pla...

1. Plasma aluminium concentration and urinary aluminium excretion were monitored for 4.5 h in rats after the administration of 25 micrograms or 800 micrograms of aluminium as an intravenous bolus, either as aluminium chloride or as aluminium citrate (i.e. aluminium chloride together with sodium citrate). 2. Immediately after the bolus aluminium administration, the plasma aluminium concentration...

The generation of residual stresses by grinding process on the surface for a soft material results in poor performance and diminished life. In this paper, grinding-induced is addressed an attempt made to relieve these while achieving nano level finish using ball end magnetorheological finishing (BEMRF) process. BEMRF recently developed that effectively used fine figuring polishing variety magne...
