A novel B-doped ZnO/TiO2 (B–ZnO/TiO2) nanocomposite photocatalyst was prepared using a mechanochemical–calcination method. For the characterization of synthesized B–ZnO/TiO2 photocatalyst, XRD, FESEM-EDS, FTIR, UV-Vis DRS, BET, PL, and XPS techniques were used. The bandgap energy reduced, resulting in enhanced visible-light absorption. Significant PL quenching confirmed reduction electron–hole ...

A new generation of bone cement with mechanical properties significantly higher than that of commercially available acrylic bone cements are strongly desired in order to ensure the long term clinical performance of the cemented arthroplasty. Currently commercial acrylic bone cement formulations contain micron-sized particles of either BaSO4 or ZrO2 to provide radiopacity, however these particle...

To develop bio-packaging materials, nanocomposite films of cellulose acetate reinforced with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared, by the casting method at different weight ratios ZnO (1.5, 2, 2.5) wt% a constant ratio 2 TiO2. TiO2 tested using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties (tensile strength elongation) improved fixed level Cellulose Acetat...

Abstract:In recent years, there have been many attempts to improve the properties of dental amalgam. The aim of the present investigation was fabrication and characterization of dental amalgams containing TiO2 nanoparticles and evaluation of their compressive strength, antibacterial and corrosion behavior. In this experimental research, TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were added to reference amal...

In this study, cost-effective, environmentally friendly well-fabricated SnO2/TiO2 nanocomposite synthesized via hydrothermal route and the photocatalytic activity was validated using (NH3-trz)[Fe(dipic)2] complex under ultra-violet illumination. The structural features of catalysts were systematically examined by various characteristics. photoreactivity model compound in water/binary solvent sy...

In this paper, we propose a simple procedure to obtain multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated with TiO2–Ag nanoparticles (MWCNT–TiO2–Ag). The MWCNTs were via combined functionalization –OH and –COOH groups polymer-wrapping technique using poly(allylamine)hydrochloride (PAH). TiO2-modified Ag synthesized the Pechini method mixture of acetylacetonate-modified titanium (IV) isopropoxide ...

Based on a diblock-copolymer templated sol–gel synthesis, germanium nanocrystals (GeNCs) are introduced to tailor mesoporous titania (TiO2) films for obtaining more efficient anodes photovoltaic applications. After thermal annealing in air, the hybrid with different GeNC content investigated and compared undergoing an argon atmosphere annealing. The surface inner morphologies of TiO2/GeOx nanoc...

A novel Starch/Poly (vinyl alcohol)/nano-Titanium dioxide (ST/PVA/nano-TiO2) biodegradable nanocomposite film was prepared by homogeneously dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles in different ratios of starch/PVA-based materials, via a solution casting method. Glycerol was used as plasticizer. The mechanical and thermal properties of films were studied using tensile and perforation strength tests and the...
