background and aims. polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) is widely used for the fabrication of removable prostheses. silver nano-particles (agnps) have been added to pmma because of their antimicrobial properties, but their effect on the mechanical properties of pmma is unknown. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of agnps on the tensile strength of pmma. materials and methods. for ...

the aim of this study was to examine the adverse effects of zinc nanoparticles on hematological indices of trout and investigate the improvement of these indices after vitamin c treatments. this study assesses the protective role of vitamin c in fish exposed to zno nps. two concentrations of zno-nps (40 and 80 mg l-1) and two doses of vitamin c (400 and 800 mg per kg of feed) were used to treat...

Determination of nano particle size is substantial since the nano particle size exerts a significant effect on various properties of nano materials. Accordingly, proposing non-destructive, accurate and rapid techniques for this aim is of high interest. There are some conventional techniques to investigate the morphology and grain size of nano particles such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

in this study, copper chromite (cucr2o4) nanoparticles was prepared by inverse co-precipitation method. in this method, cupric nitrate trihydrate, (cu (no3)2.3h2o) and chromium nitrate nonahydrate, (cr (no3) 3.9h2o) with a mole ratio of 1:2 were used. characterization of cucr2o4 nanoparticles was performed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction...

statement of the problem addition of metallic nano-particles to composite resins can change their water contact angle purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of nano-particles of silver and zinc oxide to composite resins on their water contact angle materials and methods this in vitro study was performed on 60 composite resin samples. nano-silver and nano-zinc oxide...

two new nano-sized lead(ii) and mercury(ii) coordination polymers, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2(h2o)]n(1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)} and [hg(4-bpdb)(scn)2]n (2); (4-bpdb= 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) were synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) and single crystal x–ray analysis of compound 2reve...

In this article, the free vibration analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) Timoshenko micro beam model based on surface stress effect and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) under moving nano-particle is presented. The governing equations of motion using Hamilton’s principle are derived and these equations are solved using differential quadrature method (DQM). The effects of dimensionless...

A size-segregated aerosol dynamics model UHMA (University of Helsinki Multicompo-nent Aerosol model) was developed for studies of multicomponent tropospheric aerosol particles. The model includes major aerosol microphysical processes in the atmosphere with a focus on new particle formation and growth; thus it incorporates particle 5 coagulation and multicomponent condensation, applying a revise...
