nanosized al2o3 powder is synthesized by thermal metal organic chemical vapor deposition (mocvd)combined withplasma. the effects of reaction temperature, pressure, al(ch3)3 (tma) concentration and reactant gases (co2 and o2) on the characteristics of the synthesized al2o3 powders are investigated. the experimental results demonstrate that very fineal2o3 powders with mean particle size of about ...

ethosomes are a novel and alternative drug delivery systems and currently the focus of many research activities. ethosomes are soft, flexible vesicles that are composed mainly of phospholipids, ethanol and water. ethosomes can provide better skin permeation than liposomes and deliver enhanced amounts of both small and large therapeutic agents through skin and targeting to deeper skin layers for...

UNLABELLED Thermal transport properties of graphene with nanosized constrictions are investigated using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the nanosized constrictions have a significant influence on the thermal transport properties of graphene. The thermal resistance of the nanosized constrictions is on the order of 10(7) to 10(9) K/W at 150 K, which reduces th...

Nanosized sulfated zirconia with Brønsted acidic sites has been prepared by a simple calcination in the absence of any solvent. XRD patterns reveal that the sulfated zirconia mainly consists of tetragonal crystalline zirconia with average size of about 7 nm, which is further confirmed by TEM images. N2 adsorption data show that the nanosized sulfated zirconia has high surface area (165-193 m2/g...

The objective of the this study was to compare concentrations of nanosized TiO2 at 0, 5, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg L(-1) with bulk TiO2 for phytotoxic and stimulatory effects on fennel seed germination and early growth stage. After 14 d of seed incubation, germination percentage highly improved following exposure to 60 ppm nanosized TiO2. Similar positive effects occurred in terms of shoot dry weigh...

Nb-doped SrTiO3 ceramics doped with the surface modification of nanosized titania was prepared via liquid phase deposition approach and subsequent sintered in an Ar atmosphere. The surface modification of nanosized titania significantly improved the ratio of the electrical conductivity to thermal conductivity of SrTiO3 ceramic doped with Nb, and has little impact on the Seebeck coefficient, thu...

cotton/polyester knitted fabrics as a major production of textile industry was treated with titanium dioxide nanosized particles. the treated fabric with nanosized tio2 became whiter with a good self-cleaning property. also the discoloration of reactive black 5 dye was studied and reported. the stabilization of tio2 on cotton/polyester knitted fabrics by citric acid (ca) with sodium hypophospha...

Medically, the oil-in-water nanosized emulsions are used mainly as delivery carriers for lipophilic drug molecules which show therapeutic activity when administered via parenteral, ocular and transdermal routes. To extract multifunctional activities, the nanosized emulsions containing neutral, anionic and cationic charges over dispersed oil droplets are designed with the help of variety of exci...

The objective of this study was to produce well-dispersed nanosized yttria tetragonally stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) powder in aqueous suspension. The Y-TZP powder was produced by precipitation from homogeneous solution at 2001C under hydrothermal conditions. A homogeneous solution was created through the use of a complexing agent, which subsequently could be used in a dispersion scheme develope...

The synthesis of the ZSM-5 and beta zeolites in their nanosized form has been achieved by using simple alkyl-substituted mono-cationic cyclic ammonium cations as OSDA molecules. The particular combination of a cyclic fragment and a short linear alkyl-chain group (preferentially C4) within the monocationic OSDA molecules allows directing the crystallization of nanosized zeolites with excellent s...
