metallic copper nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode is fabricated by reduction of cuso4 in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) through potentiostatic method. as-prepared nanoparticles are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical methods. copper oxide modified glassy carbon electrode (nano-cuo/mgce) is prepared using consecutive potential sca...

To improve the combustion stability and ignition performance of thermite, B/NC/CuO micro particles were prepared from boron (B), nano copper oxide (CuO), nitrocellulose (NC) as an energetic binder through electrospray technique. The burning rate dependency on content, ambient temperature, pressure was estimated by compressing into columns. Scanning electron microscopy results show that sizes th...

in present investigation, zno nanostructure was synthesized by means of a precipitation and sonochemical methods. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern is shown that the wurtzite structure of zno has the hexagonal symmetry and there is no impurity. the average zno particles crystallite size was calculated about 41 nm. the sem and tem images reveal nanostructure zno particles with a cauliflower-li...

A moving pair with two-body contact is the ideal situation assumed in previous analyses. However, all pairs are a three-body state at start of operation or immediately after operation, such as bearings, ball-screws, gears and engines. This work studies influence wear particles (SUJ2), environmental (SiO2 Al2O3) nano-additives (CuO) on tribological characteristics under different particle concen...

background and aims. incorporation of nano-particles to orthodontic bonding systems has been considered to prevent enamel demineralization around appliances. this study investigated cytotoxicity of transbond xt adhesive containing 1 wt% titanium dioxide (tio2) nano-particles. materials and methods. ten composite disks were prepared from each of the conventional and tio2-containg composites and ...

magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. the most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. in...

Incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. Copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and copper particles chemically synthesized.The particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. On the other han...
