Calcium phosphate precipitation obtained from aqueous solutions at room and body temperature and pH 5.5-7.5 were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), transmission electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Supersaturated solutions of calcium phosphates were prepared by different methods of mixing of the stock soluti...

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution has been investigated using electrochemical methods, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption and inhibition action of acid corrosion of mild steel using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) and different halides (NaCl, NaBr and NaI) has shown synergetic effect. The results showed that the pro...

The alloying and phase formation in Ni-Hf samples with 0.2-, 2-, and 5-at.% Hf were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Both characterization methods, XRD and SEM, reveal the presence of the HfNi5 phase (fcc structure) where the excess Ni atoms are present in the form of Ni or Ni-rich segregations in the sample containing 5-at.% Hf. The sample wi...

transformation induced plasticity (trip) steels have a vast application in automotive industry because of theirhigh strength, high ductility and hence excellent energy absorption capacity. these characteristics of tripsteels are due to the existence of retained austenite in their microstructures in the ambient temperature, whichtransforms to the martensite phase during deformation. the microstr...

the perovskite-type oxides strontium-substituted lanthanum nickelate (lsno) were prepared by a coprecipitation method in the present of octanoic acid as surfactant. the phase composition, morphology,lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these materials were characterized through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem...

an aqueous extract of pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv–vis spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the increase in abs...

Objective: The present report describes the green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Argemone maxicana leaf extract by an eco-friendly approach. Also, the in-vitro cytotoxicity of prepared ZnO NPs against the cardiac cell lines of Sahul India Catla catla fish (SICH) was studied. Methods: ZnO NPs were prepared by using Argemone maxicana leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing...
