Cu nanowires hold great promise for the fabrication of low-cost transparent electrodes. However, their current synthesis is mainly performed in aqueous media with poor nanowire dispersibility. We report herein the novel synthesis of ultralong single-crystalline Cu nanowires with excellent dispersibility, providing an excellent candidate material for high-performance transparent electrode fabric...

In order to create Fe2O3 and Fe2O3·H2O nanoparticles, various polymers were used as dispersing agents, and the resulting effects on the dispersibility and nanoparticulation of the iron oxides were evaluated. It was revealed that not only the solution viscosity but also the molecular length of the polymers and the surface tension of the particles affected the dispersibility of Fe2O3 and Fe2O3·H2...

Increasingly sophisticated hominin cognition is assumed to play an important role in major dispersal events but it is unclear what that role is. We present an agent-based model showing that there is a close relationship between level of foresight, environmental heterogeneity, and population dispersibility. We explore the dynamics between these three factors and discuss how they may affect the c...

Dry powders containing a live-attenuated Newcastle disease vaccine (LZ58 strain) and intended for mass vaccination of poultry were prepared by spray drying using mannitol in combination with trehalose or inositol, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and/or bovine serum albumin (BSA) as stabilizers. These powders were evaluated for vaccine stabilizing capacity during production and storage (at 6 °C and 2...

The main purpose of the current research is comparing the results of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with regard to determination of the importance of soil properties affecting clay dispersibility. After taking samples from two depths of 0-40 and 40-80 cm, the spontaneous and mechanical dispersions of clay were recorded using both weighing and ...

The whole saltwort plant (Salicornia herbacea) was micronized to develop the table salt substitute. The micronized powder was mixed with distilled water and made into a spherical granule by using the fluid-bed coater (SGMPDW). The SGMPDW had superior flowability to powder; however, it had low dispersibility. To increase the dispersibility of SGMPDW, the micronized powder was mixed with the solu...

soy flour is the least processed form of soy protein products which has become increasingly popular in food technology for its nutritional benefits, low cost and good functional properties. the aim of this study was to investigate functional properties of soy flours produced by four different industrial processes: defatted, defatted and toasted, low fat, and full fat soy flours. because of diff...

Colloidal CeO2 nanoparticles (HNPs) stabilized with a decanoic fatty acid self-assembled monolayer (SAM) (decHNPs) showed very good dispersibility, i.e., perfect dispersion in cyclohexane up to 20 wt%. However, the HNPs stabilized with a dodecanoic acid SAM (dodHNPs) did not show good dispersion, i.e., at most 0.2 wt%. Interestingly, when we mixed equal portions of 5 wt% decHNPs in cyclohexane ...

nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. generally, nanotechnology deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures possessing at least one dimension size from 1 to 100 nanometers .  carbon nanotubes have great potentials for novel applications in industry, drug delivery system and many other uses. in this work after purification, multiwa...
