introduction: resin composites are an important part of restorative treatment in modern dentistry. there are many trademarks available in iran market and physico-chemical properties of many of these resin composites are not evaluated yet. this study was carried out to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of four available resin composites and also to assess the effect of aging on their prop...

in the past 30 years, electroless nickel (en) plating has grown to such proportions that these coatingsand their applications are now found underground, in outer space, and in a myriad of areas inbetween. moreover, in order to further improve the mechanical and tribological properties of thenickel-phosphorous (ni-p) coatings, ni-p/ptfe composite coatings can be obtained, which provideseven grea...

in this research, the removal of malachite green dye from textile wastewaters using polyaniline coated onto sawdust (pani/sd) has been investigated. ammonium peroxodisulphate was used as chemical oxidant for polymerization of polyaniline directly on the surface of sawdust. the effects of some important parameters such as ph, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, exposure time and temperature o...

Polymer-clay nano-composite materials, in which nano-meter thick layers of clay dispersed in polymer matrix, have generally higher mechanical properties than normal polymeric materials. A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. The total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  Numerical r...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The adhesion of resin-modified glass-ionomer (RMGI) to composite resin has a very important role in the durability of sandwich restorations. Hydroxyapatite is an excellent candidate as a filler material for improving the mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the effect of adding micro- and nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) p...

Wood is a naturally renewable material with both continuous and isolated pore systems. Wood-composite panels have the privilege of offering a homogeneous structure to be used as constructional and structural materials. However, its nature makes it susceptible to biological wood-deteriorating agents, water absorption and thickness swelling, fire, etc. Using nano-materials are very easy in the wo...

In the present study, fabrication and characterization of compound composite nanofibers of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with nano silver and Polyamide 6 (PA6) are demonstrated. Compound composite fibers with core-shell structure were made using co-axial electrospinning method. The shell was made up of nano silver (Ag) impregnated PVA while PA6 was the core material. These compound composite nanofibe...

In the present study, removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model oil (n-hexane) was investigated using magnetic activated carbon (MAC) nano-composite adsorbent. The synthesized nano-composite was characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM, BET and VSM techniques. The MAC nano-composite exhibited a nearly superparamagnetic property with a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 29.2 emu g-1...

Antibacterial nanocomposite polyester (PET) fibres were melt spun by adding nano ZnO loaded Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) master batch (MB) to the PET chips. The influence of content of nano ZnO on the antibacterial properties, crystallization behaviour and mechanical properties was studied. It was found that PET composite fibres having 1 % nano ZnO showed the optimum antibacterial ac...

nano zno/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into zinc gel. the zn(ch3coo)2.2h2o and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. the zinc acetate was dissolved in di water and, nh3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until ph 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. the montmori...
