in recent decade, the new advanced nanofluids, composed from various particles, have attracted the attention of researchers. this class of nanofluids, which can be prepared by suspending several types (two or more than two) of nanoparticles in base fluid, is termed as hybrid nanofluids. in this work, an experimental investigation on the effects of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles ...

Abstract: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were coated with MgO nano particles using simple precipitationmethod. The growth of Mg(OH)2particles was controlled by adjusting the alkaline concentration, salt concentrationand feed rate in simple precipitation method. The nanometer-sized Mg(OH)2particles were precipitated on the surfaceof functionalized MWCNTs by reaction between MgSO4 solution...

Recent technological advances have made it possible to produce particles with nanometer dimensions that are uniformly and steadily suspended in traditional solar liquids enhanced the impact of thermo-physical parameters. In this research, a three-dimensional flat plate collector was built using thin single working fluid pipe. The physical model solved computationally under conditions conjugated...

Manipulating the interface of micro/nanostructured materials and chemical fuels can change the fundamental characteristics of combustion waves that are generated during a reaction. In this study, we report that Mg/MgO nanoparticles actively amplify the propagation of combustion waves at the interface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and chemical fuels. Fuel/MWCNT and fuel/MWCNT-Mg/MgO ...

Fe-based catalysts doped with Mo were prepared and tested in the catalytic decomposition of methane (CDM), which aims for the co-production of CO2-free hydrogen and tubular nanostructured carbon (NC). Catalysts performance were tested in a thermobalance operating either at isothermal or temperature programmed mode by monitoring the weight changes with time or temperature, respectively, as a res...

The numerous increasing use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) derived from nanotechnology has raised concerns about their biosafety and potential toxicity. CNTs cause immunologic dysfunction and limit the application of CNTs in biomedicine. The immunological responses induced by pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (p-MWCNTs) and PEGylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-PEG) on BALB/c mice vi...

A conductive biocomposite film (MWCNTs-PANIFAD) which contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) along with the incorporation of poly(aniline) and poly(flavin adenine dinucleotide) co-polymer (PANIFAD) has been synthesized on gold and screen printed carbon electrodes by potentiostatic methods. The presence of MWCNTs in the MWCNTs-PANIFAD biocomposite film enhances the surface coverage conc...

Biomedical applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often involve improving their hydrophilicity and dispersion in biological media by modifying them through noncovalent or covalent functionalization. However, the potential adverse effects of surface-functionalized CNTs have not been well characterized. In this study, we functionalized multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) via carboxylation, to produce MWC...
