the synthesis of nano- structured cobalt through a controlled chemical process followed by heat treating at various temperatures is studied. the product is characterized by icp, xrd, fesem , and tem, indicating that the as- synthesized particles have an amorphous structure with 1.76 for co/b ratio, an average size of 50 nm. the transformation of intermediate phases into single phase nano- cryst...

lithium disilicate nano-powders were synthesized via a mild condition hydrothermal reaction at 180 ºc for 48 and 72 h with a non stoichiometric1:2 li:si molar ratio in naoh aqueous solution using li2co3 and sio2.h2o as raw materials. the synthesized materials were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (pxrd) technique and fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy. the xrd data showed t...

the main limiting factors in saline-sodic soils are high amounts of salts, low soil organic matter (som) and lowavailability of macro and micro-nutrients. the effect of different amounts of nano iron oxide powder and urban solidwaste compost coated sulfur (uswcs) on the chemical properties of a saline-sodic soil was investigated. the experimentwas conducted using a randomized complete block des...

copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of schiff-base ligand (n,n׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. the effect of different cu sources and ph on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. the as-prepared products were characterized using x-ray dif...

Introduction and Background: Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials, such as alumina, beryllia, or glassceramic, whose final characteristics are produced by subjection to high temperatures. Nanomaterials is a rapidly growing area of ceramics [1-3] and can be classified into the following categories: Nano-particles submicron or ultra micron size particles; Nano-fibers – nanometer (nm) siz...

Motivation It has been recognized by many within the energetic materials community that the use of nano-sized energetic particles can lead to substantial increases in overall performance and safety of energetic materials. Nano-sized energetic particles offer the potential of high heat release rates, increased combustion efficiencies, tailored burning rates, and reduced sensitivity. In order to ...

A kind of new material suitable for flexible tactile sensor and its preparation method will be introduced. The tactile sensor applied this new material and method can be used in many kinds of occasions which contacting pressure measurement such as humanoid robot sensitive skin, medicine and so on. This material is composite of carbon black and silicone rubber filled nano-SiO2 as the main raw ma...

The growth of monoclinic Ga2O3 nanowires, nano-ribbons and nano-sheets has been investigated. Results indicate that high quality single crystal nanowires can be grown at 900°C using an Au catalyst, while single crystal nano-ribbons and nano-sheets require no metal catalyst for growth. Since bulk Ga2O3 is a promising material for high temperature sensing, Ga2O3 nanowires and nano-ribbons may pro...

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) materials show an analogous chemical composition to the biogenic mineral components of calcified tissues and depending on their topography they may mimic the specific arrangement of the crystals in bone. In this work, we have evaluated the potential of four synthesized nano-HAp superstructures for the in vitro conditions of bone-repair. Experiments are underway to...

Nano-composite permanent magnetic material is a new type permanent magnetic material, and it is the synthesis of soft and hard magnetic phase within nanoscale. On the basis of exchange coupling hard magnetizing theory, nano-composite permanent magnetic material can at the same time have high residual magnetization intensity of soft magnetic phase and high coerccivity of hard magnetic phase, and...
