In this work, the microwave surface wave plasma (MWSWP) equipment is used to grow the carbon nano-materials at low temperature on different catalysts prepared by the so-called plasma assisted sol-gel synthesis method. Without any additional heating method, the plasma itself can heat up the substrate to about 280oC. By applying the -600V bias voltage, the substrate temperature can reach more tha...

Objective To compare the accuracy and feasibility of methylene blue and nano-carbon in clinical tracing of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods Ninety-six PTC patients were selected and randomly divided into a methylene blue group and a nano-carbon group (n=48). During surgery, tracer agent was injected around the tumor, and SLNs were resected a...

Raman studies on double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) obtained from peapods showed that the radial breathing mode (RBM) response of the inner tubes is split into more components than there are geometrically possible inner tubes. This was attributed to the possibility that one inner tube type may form in more than one outer tube type. Recent resonance Raman investigations revealed an even more ...

in this work we use density functional theory based on the ultra-soft pseudo-potential to calculate thestructural, mechanical and thermal properties of narrow single walled bn, aln and gan nanotubes.the electron-electron interactions were expressed within the local density approximation (lda). wehave also obtained the phonon dispersion and elastic constants of these nanotubes using the densityf...

The complex and nano-structured amorphous carbon as p-type films prepared from natural palm oil precursor for heterojunction solar cell were presented. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed the nano structured films had particle size in the range of 28 to 34 nm. The energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed the existing of carbon in complex-structured amorphous carbon f...

A nano-composite powder composed of silica and carbon with a unique property could be prepared from a mixture of a silicate compound and an epoxy compound, in which the silica within the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of as high as greater than 800m2/g although the nano-composite powder has a BET surface area of less than 10m2/g. It was estimated that the silica and the carbon are...

This paper presents the friction and anti-wear characteristics of nano-oil with a mixture of refrigerant oil and carbon nano-particles in the thrust slide-bearing of scroll compressors. Frictional loss in the thrust slide-bearing occupies a large part of total mechanical loss in scroll compressors. The characteristics of friction and anti-wear using nano-oil is evaluated using a thrust bearing ...
