In this study, the synthesis, characterization and controlled release behavior of new Hollow Silica Nano particles (HSNPs) and Magnetic Silica Nano Particles (MSNPs) were studied. Magnetic Silica Nano particles (MSNPs), as drug delivery vehicles, were synthesized through the coating of Fe3O4 nano-crystals with silica layers. The HSNPs were obtained by removal of Fe3O4 templates with hydrochlori...

in this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. to improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (dcpd) and methyl styrene (mst). plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. the i...

the effects of adding nano-silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of micro-silica were investigated in this work. the effect of combination of nano- silica and micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

in recent years, using sol-gel procedure for the purpose of laboratory and industrial synthesis of nano-structures, and especially silica nano-particles, has been significantly increased. in this research, silica particles were synthesized by sol-gel procedure and their physical and chemical properties were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy...

in the recent years, rapid growth of the world’s population and overutilization of fresh water resources have caused fresh water shortage crisis in the world. in spite of the agricultural activities in the northern beaches of iran and also severe decrease of the ground water level, it still has not taken any effective measures to desalinate caspian sea water in large scale. in this research, de...

In fiber concretes, microcracks in the boundary area between the cement paste and the surface of aggregates or fibers are higher. Natural and artificial pozzolans can be used for reinforcing this area. In this research, the combination of glass fiber, zeolite, and nano silica particles were used in lightweight self-compacting concrete containing scoria. Fiber volume fractions between 0% to 1.5%...
