the ability of trees to trap dusts convinces their use for preventing the transport of dust over longer distances. this ability is increasingly important in threatened areas with dust invasion. the purpose of this study was to compare the size and distribution of particles deposited on the leaves surface of fraxinus rotundifolia, platanus orientalis, and robinia pseudoacacia trees, in paveh, we...

aluminum sulfate nano structures have been prepared by solution combustion synthesis using aluminum nitrate nonahydrate (al(no3)3.9h2o) and ammonium sulfate ((nh4)2so4). the resultant aluminum sulfate nano structures were calcined at different temperatures to study thermal  decomposition of aluminum sulfate. the crystallinity and phase of  the as-synthesized and calcined samples were characteri...

poly-(alkylcyanoacrylate) ester particles have been used for the preparation of different formulations ranging from ophthalmic delivery systems to cancer chemotherapy carriers in clinic. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize poly-(methyl ethyl cyanoacrylate) (pmeca) particles containing 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-asa). pmeca particles were prepared using the inverse emulsification...

nano-sized γ-al2o3 was synthesized successfully by a simple method using al2(so4)3·18h2o as aluminium source and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (peg 2000). ftir spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and transmission electron microscope (tem) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of synthesized powder. the results showed that peg playe...

dissolution pressure and nozzle temperature effects on particle size and distribution were investigated for ress (rapid expansion of supercritical solution) process. supercritical co2 was used as solvent and ibuprofen was applied as the model component in all runs. the resulting ibuprofen nano-particles (about 50 nm in optimized runs) were analyzed by sem and laser diffraction particle size ana...

in this study the effect of nano meter size zro2 particles on the microstructure, densification and hydration resistance of magnesite –dolomite refractories was investigated. 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt. % zro2 particles that were added to magnesite –dolomite refractories containing 35 wt. % cao. the hydration resistance was measured by change in the weight of specimens after 72 h at 25℃ and 95% relati...

objective(s):   recently, applications of mno2 nanoparticles and microparticles in industry, pharmacology, and medicine have considerably expanded. mn distribution and clearance from brain and spinal cord tissue compared with muscle tissue of rats after single subcutaneous injection of nanoparticles and microparticle of mno2. pain sensory threshold of rat was evaluated as neurologic consequence...

abstract in all river engineering projects, determination of flow resistance is essential. most commonly, the manning roughness coefficient, , is used to describe the flow resistance or relative roughness of main channel or flood plane. over the past decades little or no study has been conducted to investigate the effects of particle shapes on manning roughness coefficient. therefore, it is the...

Mono dispersed nano SiC particles with spherical morphology were synthesized in this project by hydrolysis and condensation mechanism during sol gel processing. pH, temperature and precursor’s ratio considered as the main parameters which could influence particles size. According to DLS test results, the smallest size of particles in the sol (<5nm) was obtained at pH<4. It can be observed from ...
