The efficiency of solar energy absorption in heaters is increased by the use selective coating that possesses high radiation UV-visible spectrum as well low emission at operating temperature infrared region. In this work, novel coatings were synthesized improving selectivity chromium oxide (Cr2O3) nanoparticles doping with carbon using exploding wire technique for rods current suspended Cr2O3 p...

Solid dispersion systems are widely investigated for the dissolution enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs. Nevertheless, very limited commercial use has been achieved due to the poor predictability of such systems caused by the lack of a basic understanding of the dissolution optimization mechanism. In the present study an investigation of the release mechanism is performed for solid dispe...

polyvinylidene fluoride/polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvdf/pvp) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by dry-jet wet-spinning process. the correlated effects of the air gap length and pvp concentration ((1) the air gap length effect at the low and high pvp concentration in the dope solutions, as well as (2) the effect of the pvp concentration at the same air gap length) on the cross-section structure ...

PLLA fibrous tissue scaffolds with controlled fiber nanoscale surface roughness are fabricated with a novel centrifugal jet spinning process. The centrifugal jet spinning technique is a highly efficient synthesis method for micron- to nano-sized fibers with a production rate up to 0.5 g min(-1). During the centrifugal jet spinning process, a polymer solution jet is stretched by the centrifugal ...

This work is focused on the study of the optical properties of silver nanostructures embedded in a polymer host matrix. The introduction of silver nanostructures in polymer thin films is assumed to result in layers having adaptable optical properties. Thin film layers with inclusions of differently shaped nanoparticles, such as nanospheres and nanoprisms, and of different sizes, are optically c...

In this research, the effect of different biopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) on synthesis and characterization of polymer/cobalt ferrite (CF) nano-composites bymechanical alloying method has been systematically investigated. The structural, morphological andmagnetic properties changes during mechanical milling were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fo...

This paper experimentally studies the heat absorption performance of a heat sink with vertical embedded heat pipes in the aluminum blade. The cooling system with embedded heat pipes distributes heat from the CPU to both the base plate and the heat pipes, and then transfer heat from fins to the Environment. The thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient are evaluated for natural convection...

In the present study, tenorite (CuO) nanoparticles have been assayed for their catalytic properties. The decontamination reaction of chloro ethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) as an surrogate of sulfur mustard simulant have been accomplished on the surface of CuO NPs with different weight ratios at ambient temperature and monitored by Gas chromatography equipped with Flame ionization detector (GC-FID) a...
