In general, melting process is not a common method for the production of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys due to agglomeration and coarsening of oxide particles. However, vacuum casting process has recently been employed as a promising process to produce micro-scale oxide dispersed alloys. In this paper, we report the process and characterization of in situ formation and uniform dispe...

Microchannel plate (MCP) as a key part is a kind of electron multiplied device applied in many scientific fields. Oxide thin films such as zinc oxide doped with aluminum oxide (ZnO:Al2O3) as conductive layer and pure aluminum oxide (Al2O3) as secondary electron emission (SEE) layer were prepared in the pores of MCP via atomic layer deposition (ALD) which is a method that can precisely control t...

Cu2O nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of Schiff base copper (II) complex (1) as precursor. Liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. Span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. The nano structure of the complex was characterized by X-ray diffraction measurement...

in this paper, the morphology, roughness and nano structural properties of sio2/poly vinyl pyrrolidone  synthesized with sol gel method,  characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and gps132a techniques.the main material taken from oxide silicon with weight percentage of 20, 40, 60, 80 and from poly vinyl pyrrolidone with percentages of 80, 60, 40, 20 is synth...

various concentrations of copper were embedded into silica matrix to xerogel forms using copper source cu(no3)2∙3h2o. the xerogel samples were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl ortho-silicate (teos) with determination of new molar ratio of the components by the sol-gel method. after ambient drying, the xerogel samples were heated from 60 to 1000˚c at a slow heating rate (50°...

objective(s):  titanium oxides are known to be appropriate hemocompatible materials which are suggested as coatings for blood-contacting devices. little is known about the influence of nanometric crystal structure, layer thickness, and semiconducting characteristics of tio2 on blood hemostasis.   materials and methods: having used sol-gel dip coating method in this study, tio2 thin films were d...

background and objectives: zinc oxide (zno) nano-particles have been proven to have strong antibacterial activity against food borne pathogens. the practical applications of different concentrations (control, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm) of zno suspensions containing 1% acetic acid were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria like staphylococcus aureus. materials and methods: the projects of la...

The in-situ nano-crystal-to-crystal transformation (SCCT) synthesis provides a powerful approach for tailoring controllable feature shapes and sizes of nano crystals. In this work, three nitrogen-rich energetic nano-crystals based on 5,5'-azotetrazolate(AZT2-) Cr(III) salts were synthesized by means of SCCT methodology. SEM and TEM analyses show that the energetic nano-crystals feature a compos...
