Zinc borate is an important inorganic hydrate borate material, which can be used as a flame retardant agent and corrosion resistance material. This compound can loss its structural water content at higher than 290°C. Due to thermal stability; Zinc Borate can be used as flame retardant at high temperature process of plastic and gum. In this study, the ultrasonic reaction of zinc borates were stu...

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...

5-6 MHz PMNT/epoxy 1-3 composites were prepared by a modified dice-and-fill method. They exhibit excellent properties for ultrasonic transducer applications, such as ultrahigh thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient k(t) (85.7%), large piezoelectric coefficient d33 (1209 pC/N), and relatively low acoustic impedance Z (1.82 × 107 kg/(m2·s)). Besides, two types of Time-of-Flight Diffract...

This research reports a facile ultrasonic approach for the synthesis of iron vanadate (FeVO4) nanoparticles with the aid of ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O as the starting reagents without adding external surfactant, capping agent or template in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, to examine the solar cell application of as-synthesized iron vanadate (FeVO4) nanoparticles, FTO/TiO...

Resonances are intrinsic characteristics of an elastic object, which are completely independent of the source of excitation. The appropriate utilization of the information contained within the resonance spectra and the identification of the resonance frequencies of the object can be used as a potent tool for material characterization. In this paper, a new mathematical model for the wave diffrac...

The distribution of elastic stiffness and damping of individual phases in an α + β titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) measured by using atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM) is reported in the present study. The real and imaginary parts of the contact stiffness k (*) are obtained from the contact-resonance spectra and by using these two quantities, the maps of local elastic stiffness and the damping ...

A study was conducted to characterize the aerosols produced by a medical ultrasonic nebulizer using solutions containing antimicrobials appropriate for therapy of equine lower respiratory bacterial infections (gentamicin sulfate and ceftiofur sodium). Test aerosols were generated using an ultrasonic nebulizer and were analyzed using a laser diffraction aerosol particle analyzer. The aerosol was...

Encouraged by our recent success in work with POMs as green catalysts, we have developed our research in field of nanotechnology. Sodium 30-tungstopentaphosphate, so called Preyssler anion, nanoparticles were synthesized and the morphology and size of these nanoparticles were characterized using, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) a...

Ultrasonic Time-Of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a recent innovation that has proved highly effective for the inspection of steel plates and tubular pipelines and has started to take its way to replace the other ultrasonic testing techniques. TOFD technique has a lot of advantages which make it the preferable technique in material testing. This technique gives accurate sizing, positioning and ch...

Non Destructive testing of structural materials is an important activity in many industries. Ultrasonic NDT is one such method widely used in this field. Pulse Echo and Through Transmission are conventional testing techniques which use reflected and transmitted sound energy respectively. But these techniques are highly dependent on defect orientation. Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a rece...
