The effect of reducing the thinning rate when flow forming AZ31B magnesium alloy barrels on microstructure, crystal orientation, micro-, nano- and macro-mechanical properties was investigated. results demonstrate that undergoes different degrees plastic deformation after forming, grain size dislocation density inside change greatly, evolution pattern organization has a significant mechanical ma...

A novel and rapid and continuous hydrothermal route to the synthesis of extensive ultra-thin 2D sodium titanate (Na(2)Ti(3)O(7)) nano-sheets using a superheated water flow at 450 degrees C and 24.1 MPa as a crystallizing medium is described. High resolution electron microscopy of the sheets revealed that they were a few layers thick and largely uncurled, highly crystalline despite their very sh...

Superelastic metal microsprings fabricated by deterministic rolling of nanomembranes have been anisotropic-strain-engineered via glancing angle deposition. The advantageous applications of metal microsprings in liquid flow rate sensors and chemical-stimulated actuators due to their reliable superelasticity are demonstrated. Theoretical calculation of microspring elongation as a function of flow...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest malignancy of the female reproductive system. The ability to identify and destroy all ovarian tumor nodules may have a termendous impact on preventing tumor recurrence, and patient survival. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a nano-structured system for combined near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imagi...

Excess use of chemical pesticides in agriculture assisting the accomplishment of agri-food production targets. But, indiscriminate use of chemical pesticide is the serious concern for environment and human, which deteriorating the soil health, nutritional quality of food and increasing resistance in phyto-pathogens and pests. Nanotechnology provided the sustainable solution in this regard by de...

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of cu2+ in water samples .in this paper, chitosan was used to encapsulate nano-fe3o4 and produce a nano-fe3o4-chitosan sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. this was treated with ethylenediamine (ed) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-fe3o4-chitosan-ed.flame atomic abs...

aim : the aim of this study is to design multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) loaded with paclitaxel (ptx) anti-cancer drug and investigate its anti-cancerous efficacy of human gastric cancer. the sidewall surfaces of pristine mwcnts are highly hydrophobic. a major goal in carbon nanotube chemistry has been functionalization for aqueous solubility, and exploiting nano-tubes as macromolecules ...
