Initial stages of Cu immersion deposition in the presence of hydrofluoric acid on bulk and porous silicon were studied. Cu was found to deposit both on bulk and porous silicon as a layer of nanoparticles which grew according to the Volmer-Weber mechanism. It was revealed that at the initial stages of immersion deposition, Cu nanoparticles consisted of crystals with a maximum size of 10 nm and i...

Seeding nanoparticles in molten salts has been shown recently as a promising way to improve their thermo-physical properties. The prospect of such technology is of interest to both academic and industrial sectors in order to enhance the specific heat capacity of molten salt. The latter is used in concentrated solar power plants as both heat transfer fluid and sensible storage. This work explore...

This study examined the effects of a minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and Cupric oxide- (CuO-) based nanofluid on Inconel 718 machinability. Additionally, by using an MQL CuO-based during turning process, 718’s tribological characteristics are optimised. The experimentation was done method. With aid magnetic stirring ultrasonic bath CuO nanoparticles were dispersed in distilled water, sunflow...

Nanocomposites based on anodic titanium oxide nanotubes with copper nanoparticles were formed and their structural, optical, electrophysical properties studied. Defects in the structure of samples identified by electron paramagnetic resonance it was shown that, as a result deposition, CuO surface nanotubes. It found that conductivity decreases several orders magnitude an increase number deposit...

We examined the feasibility of alumina substrate metallization by magnetron deposition copper coatings with thickness several tens µm for its prospective applications in production ceramic PCBs and packaging. The films were prepared sputtering systems cooled thermally insulated (hot) targets. Substrates different geometries used, including those through-holes. Thickness, adhesive properties, el...

Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are reported to impact plant growth in hydroponic systems. This study describes the impact of commercial CuO (\50 nm) and ZnO (\100 nm) NPs on wheat (Triticum aestivum) grown in a solid matrix, sand. The NPs contained both metallic and non-metallic impurities to different extents. Dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy (AFM) assessments confirmed ag...

Nanostructures of metal oxides CuO, and TiO2 were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Also, CuO/TiO2 nanocomposites technique using an equal ratio 1:1 The properties compounds investigated through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy FE-SEM, Transmission TEM, X-Ray Diffraction. images FE-SEM have confirmed that , nanoparticles structured as Nanoparticles, Spherical, CuO/ which mixed in ...

metallic copper nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode is fabricated by reduction of cuso4 in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) through potentiostatic method. as-prepared nanoparticles are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical methods. copper oxide modified glassy carbon electrode (nano-cuo/mgce) is prepared using consecutive potential sca...

This study elaborates the consequences of oxidative stress caused by copper oxide (CuO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) in Brassica juncea. Effect of these two NPs on plant physiology, reactive oxygen scavenging enzyme system (ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase), proline content and lipid peroxidation has been estimated in leaves as well as root tissues. Bioacc...
