nanocrystalline zro2 with particle size of about 38 nm was directly synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. the overall process involved three steps: formation of homogeneous sol at 50-55°c; formation of dried gel at 110°c, and combustion of the dried gel at 400°c. experiments revealed that zro2 dried gel derived from glycine (fuel) and nitrate sol exhibited self propagating combustion a...

One of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is as reinforcement of metal matrix composites, because of their excellent mechanical properties. In this study, Al-TiO2-multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposite is fabricated using isostatic pressing followed by hot extrusion. Mechanical alloying is used to mix powders of aluminium, TiO2 and MWCNTs. TiO2 with the amo...

In this study, metal matrix composites (MMC) of a CoCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) reinforced with titanium nitride (TiN) nano-sized particles were designed for production by laser-based powder bed fusion (LB-PBF). Two different additions, 0.5 wt% and 5 TiN nano- sized particles, mixed using tumbling ball milling, respectively. The results suggest that although the morphology is not significan...

The increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, quantum size effects and the ability to tune surface properties through molecular modification make nanostructures ideal for environmental remediation. The present piece of work reports the preparation and characterization of nano cellulosic fibers (NCFs) with further polymeric reinforcement using vinyl sulphonic acid for the remediat...

Abstract The addition of nano-silica to ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) increase its toughness has been proposed obtain nano-concrete (UHPNC). This work mainly studies the reinforcement effect UHPNC on filled steel tube (CFST) columns under long-term load. Ten CFST strengthened with were selected and reinforced UHPNC. influences different thicknesses layer contents axial compression prop...

statement of problem: dental resin composites are becoming prevalent in restorative dentistry and have almost replaced amalgam nowadays. consequently, their mechanical properties and durability are critical. objectives: the aim of this study was to produce pyrex glass nano-particles by wet milling process and use them as reinforcement in dental resins for anterior restorations and then examinat...

Abstract TEMPO-oxidised cellulose fibres are often explored as nano -reinforcement for polymers. However, it is unclear whether micrometre-sized also possess similar reinforcing potential. In this work, we report the mechanical response of polypropylene (PP) composites reinforced with (TOC) different fibre widths. Micrometre-sized TOC (TOCF) containing sodium carboxylate (TOCF-Na) and free hydr...

nowadays, the use of innovative nano-technology in the food industry quality control has significantly increased and it is widely employed in numerous fields such as diagnosis of microbial toxin of foods using nano-biosensors, increasing food shelf-life with the help of nano-clay and nano-silver packaging, as well as changing some of the unpleasant organoleptic properties such as taste, color, ...
