We have chemically polymerized pyrrole in the presence of Sn-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and TiO2 (NPs) which act as a protective pigment. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show a core–shell structure of pigments in which TiO2 and Sn-doped TiO2 NPs have a nucleus effect and caused a homogenous PPy core–shell type morphology...

Cd(OH)2 nanobelts have been synthesized in high yield by a convenient polyol method for the first time. XRD, XPS, FESEM, and TEM were used to characterize the product, which revealed that the product consisted of belt-like crystals about 40 nm in thickness and length up to several hundreds of micrometers. Studies found that the viscosity of the solvent has important influence on the morphology ...

Keeping the fact in mind that different morphologies have strong influence on piezoelectric properties, ZnO NNs were synthesized on textile for harvesting piezoelectricity. Piezoelectric potential was captured from ZnO NNs grown on textile by using AFM in contact mode. Structural study was carried out by using FESEM, HRTEM and XRD techniques. The recorded output potential and current was more t...

Li-rich layer-structured cathode thin films are prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical testing in half battery cells are used to characterize crystal structure, surface morphology, chemical valence states and electrochemical performance of these thin films, resp...

A nanolaboratory—a prototype nanomanufacturing system—is presented, which is composed with a nanorobotic manipulation system with 4 units and 16 degrees-offreedom (DOFs), a nano fabrication system based on electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) with an internal or external precursor evaporation reservoir equipped with a thermal field emission electron source or a nanotube cold cathode, and a r...

Changes in bamboo composition and microstructure following 60Co gamma (γ) ray irradiation were investigated by solid state 13C crosspolarization (CP) magic-angle spinning (MAS) spectroscopic nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR) and a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The results indicated that irradiation doses lower than 100 KGy resulted in the degradation of hemice...

Large scale preparation of single-layer graphene and graphene oxide is of great importance due to their potential applications. We report a simple room temperature method for the exfoliation of graphene oxide using covalent modification of graphene oxide with ferrocene to obtain single-layer graphene oxide sheets. The samples were characterized by FESEM, HRTEM, AFM, EDAX, FT-IR, Raman and Mössb...

This research is focused on manufacturing and characterization of hybrid composite laminates obtained different stacking sequences basalt flax fabrics with silane treatments embedded in a partially bio-sourced epoxy resin as matrix. They were manufactured by the vacuum-assisted infusion molding mechanical properties tested tensile, flexural impact conditions. The effect coupling agent fiber/mat...

Iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles were fabricated by chemical precipitation and Eco-Friendly routes, using Capparis Spinosa leaves extract, sodium hydroxide iron sulphate heptahydrous. The calcination temperature for α-Fe2O3 was at 600 °C. All prepared samples investigated different physical methods such as XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, EDX DLS. XRD analysis confirmed that all the consist only hematite p...
