in this work, ce0.75gd0.1ca0.15o1.8 nanopowders are successfully synthesized by a glycine-nitrate combustionprocess under the microwave irradiation. then calcination was carried out at 700 °c. calcined powdersidentified by room temperature x-ray diffraction were single phase and had a crystallite size between 16 to 24nm (based on schererr formula). scanning electron microscopy (sem) was employe...

Abstract: Microwave processing is one of the novel methods for combustion synthesis of intermetallic compounds andcomposites. This method brings about a lot of opportunities for processing of uniquely characterized materials. In thisstudy, the combustion synthesis of TiAl/Al2O3 composite via microwave heating has been investigated by thedevelopment of a heat transfer model including a microwave...

Calcium phosphate (single-phase HA, single-phase TCP, and biphasic HA-TCP) nanowhiskers were synthesized using a novel microwave-assisted “combustion synthesis (auto ignition) /molten salt synthesis” hybrid route. This work is an example of our “Synergistic Processing” philosophy combining the aforementioned three technologies while utilizing their useful aspects. An important part of this work...

Microwave radiation, an electromagnetic radiation, is widely use as a source of heating in organic synthesis. The basic mechanisms observed in microwave assisted synthesis are dipolar polarization and conduction. Microwave assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has emerged as a new “lead” in organic synthesis. The technique offers simple, clean, fast, efficient, and economic for the synthesis of a l...
