elastomer compound based on nr/br was prepared using different kinds of nano-zno and zno. the effect of zinc oxide as an activator of sulfur cure on the mechanical and morphological properties of the compound was studied. the result of the mechanical properties showed that the tensile strength, elongation-at-break, resilience, and abrasion resistance of the compound prepared by zno (4 phr) are ...

in this research fe-tio2 nanocomposites with different molar ratios of fe/ti were prepared as nano-photocatalyst using a modified sol-gel process at ambient temperature. crystallographic properties of nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd). surface morphology and mean particle size of nanocomposites were specified by field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and ...

Microspheres with controlled nano- and macroporosity are fabricated by template-assisted spray drying. Increasing the porosity of the particle up to 20% improves the rate performance of the particles as shown experimentally and by electrochemical simulations of particle lithiation.

in order to study of nutritional role of silicon nano-particles on physiological characteristics of minituber potato production an experiment was carried out as  factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications in hydroponic culture at ferdowsi university, mashhad. treatments were included particle size of sodium silicate (nano and micro) and concentrations in levels...

To prevent soiling of marble exposed outdoors, the use of TiO₂ nano-particles has been proposed in the literature by two main routes, both raising durability issues: (i) direct application to marble surface, with the risk of particle leaching by rainfall; (ii) particle incorporation into inorganic or organic coatings, with the risk of organic coating degradation catalyzed by TiO₂ photoactivity....

To improve the bioavailability of orally administered lipophilic coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), we formulated a novel lipid-free nano-CoQ10 system stabilized by various surfactants. Nano-CoQ10s, composed of 2.5% (w/w) CoQ10, 1.67% (w/w) surfactant, and 41.67% (w/w) glycerol, were prepared by hot high-pressure homogenization. The resulting formulations were characterized by particle size, zeta potential,...

glycerol mono-oleate (gmo) was produced by direct esterification reaction with amberlyst 16 resin catalysts with the efficiency of 86% and was used as a surfactant for synthesis of cofe2o4 nano-particles by surfactant-assisted microwave method. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and...

Deposition of colloidal- and nano-scale particles on surfaces is critical to numerous natural and engineered environmental, health, and industrial applications ranging from drinking water treatment to semi-conductor manufacturing. Nano-scale surface roughness-induced hydrodynamic impacts on particle deposition were evaluated in the absence of an energy barrier to deposition in a parallel plate ...

The purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. Casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. The size of the nano-emulsion and the pH of nano-emulsion were characterized. Ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 KHz intensity for 120 seconds. Prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...
