The nano iron oxides have been synthesized by almost all the known wet chemical methods which include precipitation at ambient/elevated temperatures, surfactant mediation, emulsion/micro-emulsion, electro-deposition etc. Iron oxides in nano-scale have exhibited great potential for their applications as catalytic materials, wastewater treatment adsorbents, pigments, flocculants, coatings, gas se...

to evaluate the effect of foliar application of nano iron chelate and iron chelate fertilizers on morphological traits and essential oil content of holy basil, an experiment was conducted at research farm of department of horticultural, shahid chamran university of ahvaz based on randomized complete blocks design with six treatments and three replications. the treatments were including control,...

We study metallic nano-particles for light trapping by investigating the optical absorption efficiency of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film with and without metallic nano-particles on its top. The size and shape of these nano-particles are investigated as to their roles of light trapping: scattering light to the absorption medium and converting light to surface plasmons. The optical ...

objective: oral iron drops are recommended for children aged 6-24 months to prevent iron-deficiency anemia. however, their use is associated with the potential risk of erosion and microhardness reduction of primary teeth enamel due to their high acidity. it seems that the combination of silicone oil, nano-hydroxyapatite and chitosan powder may be able to improve the microhardness and surface st...

In recent years, metal nano particles such as silver, copper and zinc have developed in textilefinishing. Copper nano particles are used in wound dressings and socks to give them antibacterialproperties. In the present paper, cotton fabrics were treated with different concentrations of Cu nanoparticles colloidal solution. For investigation of the durability of nano particles on cotton fabric,la...

Most studies of the role of biological entities as atmospheric ice-nucleating particles have focused on relatively rare supermicron particles such as bacterial cells, fungal spores and pollen grains. However, it is not clear that there are sufficient numbers of these particles in the atmosphere to strongly influence clouds. Here we show that the ice-nucleating activity of a fungus from the ubiq...

The pathway to forming the iron-rich planet Mercury remains mysterious. Mercury's core makes up 70% of planetary mass, which implies a significant enrichment iron relative silicates, while its mantle is strongly depleted in oxidized iron. high mass fraction traditionally ascribed evaporative loss e.g. following giant impact, but abundance moderately volatile elements inconsistent with reaching ...

Sn–Ag–Cu composite solders reinforced with nano-sized, nonreacting, noncoarsening 1 wt% TiO2 particles were prepared by mechanically dispersing TiO2 nano-particles into Sn–Ag–Cu solder powder and the interfacial morphology of the solder and flexible BGA substrates were characterized metallographically. At their interfaces, different types of scallop-shaped intermetallic compound layers such as ...
