Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are electrochemical devices that show the highest power densities compared to the other type of fuel cell. In this work, nanocomposite membranes used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells as poly(vinyl alcohol)/La2Ce2O7 (PVA-LC) with the aim of increasing the water uptake and proton conductivity. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as cross linking agent ...

recently, the al2o3–tio2–zro2 system has found valuable applications, particularly, as a support for nox storage–reduction (nsr) catalysts. nanocomposite powders were prepared from the co-precipitation method in inorganic precursors. the behaviors of mixed oxide nanoparticles under ultrasonic irradiation, such as dispersion, and crushing were studied. phase transformations, crystallite size, an...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The color stainability of recently introduced computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) hybrid ceramic and resin nanoceramic is unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of coffee staining on the color of 3 different CAD/CAM restorative materials and a nanocomposite resin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Specimens from a...

This presentation demonstrates a simple and very rapid synthesis of metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) in Al-based hybrid systems which are achieved by processing stacked disks of two pure metals through the application of high-pressure torsion (HPT) at ambient temperature. These synthesized hybrid systems exhibit exceptionally high hardness through rapid deformation-induced diffusion and the ...

A highly flexible nanocomposite was developed by coating a regenerated cellulose film with a thin layer of tin oxide (SnO2) by liquid-phase deposition. Tin oxide was crystallized in solution and formed nanocrystal coatings on regenerated cellulose. The nanocrystalline layers did not exfoliate from cellulose. Transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy suggest that ...

The present study examined the gas-phase photocatalytic degradation of toluene using ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposite supported on activated carbon in a photocatalytic reactor. Toluene was selected as a model pollutant from volatile organic compounds to determine the pathway of photocatalytic degradation and the factors influencing this degradation. The ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposite was synthesized through co-p...

Considerable progress in the synthesis and technology of hydrogels makes these materials attractive structures for designing controlled-release drug delivery systems. In particular, this review highlights the latest advances in nanocomposite hydrogels as drug delivery vehicles. The inclusion/incorporation of nanoparticles in three-dimensional polymeric structures is an innovative means for obta...

Herein, a novel Cu-MoO3/g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a two-step strategy of one-pot pyrolysis followed by the impregnation method. The structure, phase, morphology and electronic environment of MoO3, g-C3N4 and Cu in the composite were determined by various characterization methods. The oxygen vacancies of MoO3 were ascertained by UV-DRS, Raman, and XPS analysis. ...

in  this  work,  a  new  hybrid  organometallic-inorganic  hybrid nanomaterial was prepared by immobilization of acetyl ferrocene on the  surface  of magnetite  nanoparticles. covalent  grafting of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles (scmnps) with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane gave aminopropyl-modified magnetite nanoparticles (ampscmnps). then, schiff base condensation  of ampscmnps with acet...

A pot experiment was carried out on hybrid drumstick PKM 1 added with inorganic and organic fertilisers. Seeds of hybrid Drumstick PKM1 were sown in the plastic pots in glass house condition. Single inorganic fertilizer, phosphate solubiliser and bio organic fertilizer as well as in different combinations were applied to the pots. Data revealed that plant height, fresh and dry biomass, moisture...
