UNLABELLED Thermal transport properties of graphene with nanosized constrictions are investigated using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the nanosized constrictions have a significant influence on the thermal transport properties of graphene. The thermal resistance of the nanosized constrictions is on the order of 10(7) to 10(9) K/W at 150 K, which reduces th...

Nanosized sulfated zirconia with Brønsted acidic sites has been prepared by a simple calcination in the absence of any solvent. XRD patterns reveal that the sulfated zirconia mainly consists of tetragonal crystalline zirconia with average size of about 7 nm, which is further confirmed by TEM images. N2 adsorption data show that the nanosized sulfated zirconia has high surface area (165-193 m2/g...

The paper presents the results of a study dilatometric properties thermoplastic elastomer nanocomposites based on mixtures random polypropylene, nitrile butadiene rubber, compatibilizer - copolymer polypropylene with maleic anhydride. Nanosized bentonite particles were used as filler. concentration nanoparticles was varied in range 1.0-20 wt %. values free and occupied specific volumes determin...

In this study, we demonstrate a novel fabrication method to prepare metallic Janus silica particles by embedding nanosized silica particles on a spherical polystyrene (PS) substrate in supercritical carbon dioxide (sc CO2), followed by labelling with gold nanoparticles on the exposed part of the silica colloids. To this end, three main types of Janus particles displaying two distinct surfaces a...

Zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method where Polyethylene Glycol act as capping agent. The sample structure and morphology of product were analysed powder XRD, FTIR, U-V visible spectroscopy scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). prepared NPs annealed at varying temperatures such 500℃, 600℃ 700℃.

This study reports on the development of bio-based hydrophobic coatings for packaging papers through deposition of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) particles in combination with nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and plant wax. In the first approach, PHB particles in the micrometer range (PHB-MP) were prepared through a phase-separation technique providing internally-nanosized structures. The particles w...
