High intensity ultrasound has been applied to two classes of step-growth polymerisation. The ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic lactones to polyesters was accelerated under 20 kHz ultrasound but, in the case of delta-valerolactone, sonication also promoted a depolymerisation reaction so that the molecular weight fell during later stages of the reaction. Sonication was also applied to the pre...

Describes the ability a managing the symmetric sonochemical reactor for physic-chemical treatment of chemically pure water, true and colloidal aqueous solutions, as well as disperse systems with the speed of sound in them more than at water. Such reactors are useful, for example, in the food industry, where are processed of different concentrations the solutions NaCl. Demonstrated that the deve...

In the present study, ZnO nanostructure has been synthesized by different methods, namely coprecipitation, hydrothermal and sonochemical methods. After comparison of the morphology and photocatalytic activity of ZnO samples prepared via different methods, the best method (sonochemical method) was used for synthesis of Ni-ZnO nanoparticles with different concentrations of nickel. Furthermore, st...

Silver oxide (Ag2O) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized through several methods, namely sol-gel, sonochemical, and biological methods. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the sonochemical method produces silver with high phase purity, then sol-gel another phase, crystals, while Ag3PO4 from precursor media. The research showed had smallest crystallite particle sizes of 9.5 232.7...

in the current study, synthesis and characterization of a new nano-structured zirconium(iv)-minoxidil complex (1), where minoxidil, (c9h15n5o; 6-(1-piperidinyl)-2,4-pyrimidinediamine 3-oxide), have been investigated in two different solvents. the compound 1 has been synthesized by sonochemical method in the presence of methanol and monoethylene glycol (meg) as solvents and characterized by scan...

A fucoidan discovered in the plant Fucus vesiculosus, which lowered molecular weight of fucoidan, was ideal for its application pharmaceutical and food sectors. The aim to study impact ultrasound process parameters on weight, structure, antioxidant activity fucoidan. For optimization sonochemical such as temperature, sonication time, power (intensity), Box–Behnken design (BBD) through response ...
