Researches on the effects produced by the sun light upon polymeric matrix composites have been increased on the last ten years. It is commonly to find literature about mechanical characteristics degradation due to different environment effects. But a few ones are related to the shear behaviour. Moreover a limited studies are related to glass fibre polyester, even that are the composites most co...

Novel TiO₂/Sn₃O₄ heterostructure photocatalysts were ingeniously synthesized via a scalable two-step method. The impressive photocatalytic abilities of the TiO₂/Sn₃O₄ sphere nanocomposites were validated by the degradation test of methyl orange and •OH trapping photoluminescence experiments under ultraviolet (UV) and visible light irradiation, respectively. Especially under the visible light, t...

cadmium oxide (cdo) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using cadmium acetate and ammonia solution. presence of chemical species, were verified by fourier transform infra red (ftir) spectrum. from x-ray diffraction (xrd) spectrum the particle size, d-spacing value and structure of the nanoparticle were analysed. size of the nanoparticles and the elemental composition were detect...

To make full use of the solar energy, exploring broad spectrum active photocatalysts has become one of the core issues for photocatalysis. Here we report a novel hexagonal 2H-MoSe2 photocatalyst with ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) light response for the first time. The results indicate that the MoSe2 displays excellent photo-absorption and photocatalytic activity in the reduction ...

In this work, H3PW12O40 (PPT) and nano-sized titania supported on urea formaldehyde (UF) resinwas prepared via an impregnation method. The prepared sample was characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalyt...

ZnO nanowires with a diameter of 70 nm and nanorods with a diameter in the range of 100-150 nm and two micrometer in length were grown on glass substrates by resistive evaporation method and applying a two step oxidation process at low temperatures, without using any catalyst, template or buffer layer. XRD pattern of these nanostructures indicated a good crystallinity property with wurtzite hex...

biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. in the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using seed aqueous extract of olea europaea (oe) and its antibacterial activity. uv–visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning elec...

In this paper, the results of an investigation of the possibility of extending "color constancy" to obtain illuminant-invariant reflectance features from data in the near-ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (IR) wavelength regions are reported. These features are obtained by extending a blackbody-model-based color constancy algorithm proposed by Ratnasingam and Collins [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A27, 286...
