Surface-textured structure is currently an interesting topic since it can efficiently reduce the optical losses in advanced optoelectronic devices via light management. In this work, we built a model in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solutions by setting the simulation parameters based on the morphology of the Si nanostructures and compared with the experimental results in order to study ...

Reaction between aromatic aldehydes and 3–methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one catalyzed by nano-SiO2/HClO4 in water under reflux provided a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of 4-((5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)(aryl)methyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol derivatives in high yields.

In this work, palladium (II) chloride-supported-N-(dipyridine-2-ylmethyl)-3-(silica-magnetite)propan-1-amine (nano-Fe3O4@SiO2@dipy@PdCl2) as a new nanostructured catalyst was prepared and its structure completely studied by different techniques and then successfully tested on Heck and Suzuki reactions.

In this paper, the high purity bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) epoxy resin (D.E.R 332), which is mainly used as filament winding, electrical laminates and encapsulation applications, was used as a host. The epoxy resins were loaded with nano-SiO2 and nano-BN in different loading concentrations, and then test of the AC/DC breakdown strength has been performed. It has been observed that the ...

The nano-sized silica fillers reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composites were fabricated by means of compression molding technique. he nano-sized silica, measuring 30 nm in size, was firstly modified by surface pretreatment with stearic acid. The performances and properties f the resulting PEEK/SiO2 nanocomposites were examined in terms of tensile loading, hardness, dynamic mechanica...

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

Cracks are a fundamental problem in concrete, so this research investigates an experimental study of the effect adding SiO2 on self-healing behaviour concrete. The is done by studying physical properties, microstructure, and mechanical properties Microcapsules were prepared to contain (cement nano SiO2) (palettization (fluidize bed coating) method) with (5,10, 15) % cement weight. ratio concret...

The public is increasingly exposed to various engineered nanomaterials because of their mass production and wide application. Even when the biological effects of nanomaterials have been assessed, the underlying mechanisms of action in vivo are poorly understood. The present study was designed to seek a simple, effective, and oxidative stress-based biomarker system used for screening toxicity of...

Current materials used for maxillofacial prostheses are far from ideal and there is a need for novel improved materials which mimic as close as possible the natural behavior of facial soft tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding different concentrations of surface treated silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2) on clinically important mechanical properties of a maxillofacial sil...
