[1] Air pollution (ozone and particulate matter in surface air) is strongly linked to synoptic weather and thus is likely sensitive to climate change. In order to isolate the responses of air pollutant transport and wet removal to a warming climate, we examine a simple carbon monoxide–like (CO) tracer (COt) and a soluble version (SAt), both with the 2001 CO emissions, in simulations with the Ge...

In this study we report on the synthesis and characterization of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs), synthesized by chemical co-precipitation in alkaline medium. Two samples were at two different temperatures, 35 90 oC. Both characterized Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), room-temperature (RT) magnetization. showed superparamagnetic behavior (SPM) RT. TE...

In the past years considerable attention has been devoted to designing and controlling patterns at the microscale using bottom-up self-assembling techniques. The precipitation process proved itself to be a good candidate for building complex structures. Therefore, the techniques and ideas to control the precipitation processes in space and in time play an important role. We present here a simpl...

UNLABELLED Objective(s) : Ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting due to its viscoelastic properties. Additionally its high cohesivity results in low flowability. In this study, co-precipitation of ibuprofen with varying concentration of agar and PVP to optimize properties of Ibuprofen was carried out. MATERIALS AND METHODS Co-precipitates of ibuprofen- PVP or agar were prepared by solve...

The effect of tempering temperature, within the range of 400 to 700°C, on the microstructure and hardness of two super-bainitic steels, one as the control parent sample and the other with added Co & Al was investigated. Post-tempering examinations of the super-bainitic samples showed that low temperature tempering cycles (400–500°C) resulted in carbides formation, and some increases in the hard...

Magnetite (Fe304) nanoparticles stabilised by sulfonatocalixarene macrocycles are readily accessible by a rapid in situ co-precipitation, and exhibit ferro-fluidic and superparamagnetic behaviour.

Bone formation and osseointegration of biomaterials are dependent on angiogenesis and vascularization. Angiogenic growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were shown to promote biomaterial vascularization and enhance bone formation. However, high local concentrations of VEGF induce the formation of malformed, nonfunctional vessels. We hypothesized that a continuous deliv...

Highly effective separation of colloidal gold nanorods/nanoplates from co-produced isotropic nanoparticles has been achieved by selective precipitation triggered by salt.

The thrust to develop eco-friendly procedures for the production of nanoparticles arises from the extremely recent nanotechnology research. MnO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method using green chemistry. The size, structure and morphology of MnO2 nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR techniques. The average particle size of manganese...

In the present work, Al2O3-CeO2 composite nanopowders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The sinterability of the synthesized powders was investigated. The results showed that the transformation of transition phases of alumina to α-Al2O3 takes place at 1200 °C. TEM images showed that the powders was composed of nanoparticles in the range of 30−70 nm. The densification of composites s...
