This paper explores the use of acoustics for manipulation of bioparticles. A series of experimental studies were conducted using acoustic standing waves in resonant cavities as means of trapping bioparticles and enhancing bioparticles separation. Parallel Plane Cavity was explored. The effect of cell size and host media concentration on trapping efficiency, trapping time and velocity were inves...

A sol-gel technique under ultrasonic irradiation was applied to synthesize ZrO2/TiO2/ZnOnanocomposites. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of nanocomposites. The strain and crystalline size values of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites are estimated to be 9.98×10-4 and 17.66 nm, respectively. The linear absorption coefficient of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites was measure...

The influence of crystal defects and ultrasound absorption on X-ray diffraction under the condition of X-ray acoustic resonance are theoretically investigated. It is shown that the rocking curve and integral intensity of diffraction are very sensitive to defect's type and concentration. 1 INTRODUCTLON In the first papers [I, 21 devoted to the X-ray acoustic resonance the most fruitful1 results ...

In both photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasonic (US) imaging, overall image quality is influenced by the optical and acoustical properties of the medium. Consequently, with the increased use of combined PA and US (PAUS) imaging in preclinical and clinical applications, the ability to provide phantoms that are capable of mimicking desired properties of soft tissues is critical. To this end, gelatin-ba...

For the first time, this work reports a facile sonochemical route in the synthesis of graphene oxide nanosheets (GO) via oxidation of graphite (G). The synthesis of GO was carried out in a fast way under ultrasonic bath irradiation (GO-U). In comparison, the synthesis of GO via classical method (GO-C) was done under the same conditions as ultrasonic method. The products were completely differen...

In this article, we combine the homophase junction g-C3N4 prepared by recrystallization with small particles of MoS2 treated ball milling through a simple method ultrasonic assisted oil bath, which improves light absorption capacity catalyst and promotes electron transport separation efficiency electrons, photocatalyst capable efficiently degrading pollutants was prepared.

It is well known that, in focused ultrasonic systems, the radiated beams through tissues converge around a focal point. This phenomenon produces a temperature increment over 56°C in few seconds, at the focus by the mechanical waves energy transformation into heat, due to acoustic absorption in the tissue. This can originate thermal coagulation, instantaneous cell damage or instantaneous ablatio...

This paper describes the ultrasound assisted dispersal of a low wt./vol.% copper nanopowder mixture and determines the optimum conditions for de-agglomeration. A commercially available powder was added to propan-2-ol and dispersed using a magnetic stirrer, a high frequency 850 kHz ultrasonic cell, a standard 40 kHz bath and a 20 kHz ultrasonic probe. The particle size of the powder was characte...

ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of cu+2-doped zns nanoparticles (mole fractions of cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray (edx) and uv–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (drs)...

The sources of broad backgrounds in visible-near-IR absorption spectra of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) dispersions are studied through a series of controlled experiments. Chemical functionalization of nanotube sidewalls generates background absorption while broadening and red-shifting the resonant transitions. Extensive ultrasonic agitation induces a similar background component that m...
