We present the synthesis of monodisperse cone-shaped silica colloids and their fluorescent labeling. Rod-like silica colloids prepared by ammonia-catalyzed hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate in water droplets containing polyvinylpyrrolidone cross-linked by citrate ions in pentanol were found to transform into cone-shaped particles upon mild etching by NaOH in water. The dia...

This research studied the sustainable utilization of waste ceramic in asphalt mixtures by substituting fine aggregate with treated and untreated produced from construction demolition activities. To improve its adhesion to binder lower moisture susceptibility Superpave mixes, was a silane anti-stripping agent. The Marshall quotient (MQ), stability (MS), indirect tensile strength (ITS), retained ...

Abstract A silane coupling agent, namely γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), was used to modify kenaf powder (KP). It then as filler in a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) based on Recycled High Density Polyethylene/Natural Rubber Blends (rHDPE/NR). The attachment of onto KP verified by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), while the performance TPE assessed terms mechanical and thermal p...

The polymer-filler interaction of a dental composite was examined by dielectric measurements to determine how a non-compatible inorganic phase modifies the molecular behaviour of the polymer chains and how modification of this phase by silanation can affect these molecular behaviours. Urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) monomer and zirconia-silica (ZS) powder were used as organic and inorganic phase...

The incorporation of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in fiber filters is an effective approach to enhance the specific surface area and roughness fiber, hence improving their efficiency for fine dust capture other gas treatment or biological applications. Nevertheless, uneven distribution NPs limits practical In this study, a commercial silane coupling agent (3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilan...
