The calcium ferrite nano-particles (CaFe2O4 NPs) were synthesized using a sol-gel method for targeted drug delivery application. The proposed nano-particles were initially prepared by mixing calcium and iron nitrates that were added with citric acid in order to prevent agglomeration and subsequently calcined at a temperature of 550°C to obtain small particle size. The prepared nanoparticles wer...

Oil palm ash (OPA), a bio-agricultural waste from oil palm mills, was subjected to high-energy ball milling for 30 h and was converted into a nano-structured material. The nano-structured OPA was characterized for its particle size and crystallinity index by using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The crystallite size obtained from TEM and XRD was foun...

the nano-cry zeolite synthesized and characterized by fourier transfer infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd),and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the result show that nano catalyst prepared with mainly particles size about 30-80 nm .the xrd show the structure of the zeolite does not collapse. this nano-cry zeolite has been used as new, and nontoxic catalyst for catalyzes of synthesis of 2...

Localized Ge nano-dot formation by laser treatment was investigated and discussed in terms of strain distribution. The advantage of this technique is patterning localization of nano-dots without selective epitaxial growth, reducing costs and improving throughput. Self-assembled Ge nano-dots produced by excimer laser annealing statistically distributed dot density and size dependent on laser ene...

In this research, the effect of different biopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) on synthesis and characterization of polymer/cobalt ferrite (CF) nano-composites bymechanical alloying method has been systematically investigated. The structural, morphological andmagnetic properties changes during mechanical milling were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fo...

Ceria nanoparticles (nano-ceria) have recently gained a wide range of applications, which might pose unwanted risks to both the environment and human health. The greatest potential for the environmental discharge of nano-ceria appears to be in their use as a diesel fuel additive. The present study was designed to explore the pulmonary toxicity of nano-ceria in mice after a single exposure via i...

Photoalignment possesses obvious advantages in comparison with the usually “rubbing” treatment of the substrates of liquid crystal display (LCD) cells. The liquid crystal photoalignment is nano-technology, as the thickness of the alignment layer is about 2-15 nm. The application of the photo-alignment and photo-patterning nano technology for the new generation of photonic and display devices wi...

Edge-exposed MoS2 nano-assembled structures are designed for high hydrogen evolution reaction activity and long term stability. The number of sulfur edge sites of nano-assembled spheres and sheets is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and EXAFS analysis. By controlling the MoS2 morphology with the formation of nano-assembled spheres with the assembly of small-size fragments of MoS2, the resulting ...

High molecular weight nano/micron sized polystyrene (Mv=1X10) was prepared from styrene and hydrogen peroxide over a range of temperature, shear rate and concentration of catalysts. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements indicated that the size of particles matched with that of the single polymer chain. The same ...

Nanoparticles of a one-dimensional coordination polymer [Pb(L)(μ2-I)]n (1), (Lˉ = 1H1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate), have been synthesized by a sonochemical process and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The thermal stability of compound 1 both its bulk and nano-size has been studied by ...
