ZnS  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  In  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  The effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  The nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

the effects of substituents on the symmetry and the nature of halogen bonds in [n∙∙∙x∙∙∙n]+-type systems are presented for the yc5h4n∙∙∙x∙∙∙nc5h5 (y = no2, cn, h, ch3, och3, oh, nh2, x = cl, br, i) complexes. some structural parameters, energy data and electronic properties were explored with the density functional theory (dft) calculations. in addition, electrostatic potentials were used in es...

background: lead-based radiation shields are widely used in radiology departments to protect both workers and patients from any unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation. recently there has been a great deal of concern expressed about the toxicity of lead. human lead toxicity is well documented. in that light, production of environmentally-friendly lead-free radiation shields with less weight ...

purpose the purpose of this investigation was to compare a practical measurement of fat free mass index (ffmi) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (bia) to the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) value in collegiate athletes. methods thirty-three male baseball players and 16 female gymnasts volunteered to participate in this study during their respective pre-season. subjects visited the l...

This paper has reported on the electrical and nonstructural of polymer-based materials in corporation NiO (Nickel oxide) in concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% by weight of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) polymer. Nanocrystallites phases and properties were characterized with using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transfer infrared radiation (FTIR),Energy distribution X-ray(EDX) techniques and X-Map ...

three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in sio440, ratio were prepared by direct synthesis without using any template. the products si02/a120, ratio is influenced by the starting gel composition. this ratio is increased upon ion-exchange with nh,cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. the protonic mordenites with si02/a1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were character...

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...

zro2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. the product was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (edx) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the average crystalline size of zro2 was obtained 62 nm. also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale zro2 under uv light irradiation was studied. th...

background: it has recently been shown that the particle size of materials used for radiation shielding can affect the magnitude of radiation attenuation. over the past years, application of nano-structured materials in radiation shielding has attracted attention world-wide. the purpose of this study was to investigate the shielding properties of the lead-free shields containing micro and nano-...
