in the present paper, the flow and heat transfer of two types of nanofluids, namely, silver-water and silicon dioxide-water, were theoretically analyzed over an isothermal continues stretching sheet. to this purpose, the governing partial differential equations were converted to a set of nonlinear differential equations using similarity transforms and were then analytically solved. it was found...

in this paper effect of sio 2 nanoparticles was investigated on potato starch films. potato starch films were prepared by casting method with addition of nano-silicon dioxide and a mixture of sorbitol/glycerol (weight ratio of 3 to 1) as plasticizers. sio 2 nanoparticles incorporated to the potato starch films at different concentrations 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5% of total solid, and the films were dri...

Objective(s): Due to nanocomposites antimicrobial properties, one of the most extensive usages of nano-products is in packing industry. Thus, the production of packages with nanotechnology can effectively prevent against a variety of microorganisms. In this study, the silicon dioxide nanoparticles the poly (lactic acid) PLA films on antimicrobial and permeability was investigated. Methods...

A silicon micromachining method that is able to create deep silicon dioxide blocks at selected locations in a silicon substrate is presented. The process combines deep-reactive-ion etching (DRIE), thermal oxidation, deposition of silicon dioxide and optional planarization. Design issues and parameters for the creation of such blocks are discussed. The selectively defined silicon dioxide blocks ...

background: agate is a hard silica stone with bands of various colors, which is used in jewelry. the agate grinding workers are exposed to silica dust. objective: to determine the prevalence of respiratory diseases in agate grinding workers and the associated factors. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 170 agate grinding workers from mashhad, northeastern iran, were examined. medical and o...

A nitride spacer with an underlying deposited tetraethoxysilane oxide, that behaves as a convenient etch stop layer, is a popular choice for sidewall spacer in modern complementary metal–oxide– semiconductor process flows. In this work we have investigated the effect of the silicon nitride spacer process on the boron profile in silicon and the related dose loss of B from the Si into the silicon...

background and aim: this study investigated the reinforcing effect of silica nanoparticles when incorporated into the matrix phase of an experimental dental fiber reinforced composites (frc) through the evaluation of the flexural properties of the composites. materials and methods: in this experimental study frc samples were divided into two main groups (containing two or three bundles) either ...

Three samples with dielectric layers from high- κ dielectrics, hafnium oxide, gadolinium-silicon oxide, and lanthanum-lutetium oxide on silicon substrate were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results obtained for high- κ dielectrics were compared with spectra recorded for silicon dioxide. Raman spectra suggest the similarity of gadolinium-silicon oxide and lanthanum-lutetium oxide to the bulk...
