in this study, preparation of nano-sized gamma alumina with high specific surface area and high yield by thereaction between aluminum nitrate and sodium carbonate, without using any surfactant is reported. bohemite (aluminum oxyhydroxide) was prepared as a precursor by strict control of ph and reaction temperature. the gel produced was purified by washing followed by centrifugation. the specifi...

Nano-sized TiCx/2009Al composites (with 5, 7, and 9 vol% TiCx) were fabricated via the combustion synthesis of the 2009Al-Ti-CNTs system combined with vacuum hot pressing followed by hot extrusion. In the present study, CNTs were used as the carbon source to synthesize nano-sized TiCx particles. An attempt was made to correlate the effect of ground CNTs by milling and the distribution of synthe...

The TiCp/Cu master alloy was prepared via thermal explosion reaction. Afterwards, the nano-sized TiCp/Cu master alloy was dispersed by electromagnetic stirring casting into the melting Cu-Cr-Zr alloys to fabricate the nano-sized TiCp-reinforced Cu-Cr-Zr composites. Results show that nano-sized TiCp can effectively refine the grain size of Cu-Cr-Zr alloys. The morphologies of grain in Cu-Cr-Zr c...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

in the present work, high temperature tensile properties of medium density polyethylene (mdpe) and its nanocomposites are investigated. for this purpose mdpe reinforced with different weight percentages of nano-sized calcium (2, 5, 10) are produced by compression moulding method. tensile tests have been carried out at different temperatures, i.e. 30, 60, 90c using thermomechanical analysis (tm...

Amitriptyline hydrochloride is a highly permeable active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The function of these drugs is to block the reuptake of the neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and serotonin in the central nervous system. The nano-sized Amitriptyline (AT) imprinted polymer particles were synthesized successfully. The nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectros...

ceramic dental materials have been considered as alternatives to metals for dental implants application. in this respect, zirconia tetragonal stabilized with %3 yttrium, is of great importance among the ceramic materials for endosseous dental implant application. because of its good mechanical properties and color similar to tooth. the aim and novelty of this study was to design and prepare y-t...

Nano-sized therapeutic agents have several advantages over low molecular weight agents such as a larger loading capacity, the ability to protect the payload until delivery, more specific targeting due to multivalency and the opportunity for controlled/sustained release. However, the delivery of nano-sized agents into cancer tissue is problematic because it mostly relies on the enhanced permeabi...

in this study, the effects of different concentrations of bulk and nano-sized ag on seed germination and seedling growth of canola were investigated in a randomized completely design with four replications. the experimental treatments included four concentrations of bulk agno 3 (10, 100, 500 and 1000 ppm), four concentrations of nanosized ag (10, 100, 500 and 1000 ppm), and the control without ...
