Magnesium borate hydroxide (MBH) nanowhiskers were synthesized using a one step hydrothermal process with different surfactants. The effect surfactants have on the structure and morphology of the MBH nanowhiskers has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction profile confirms that the as-synthesized material is of single phase, monoclinic MgBO(2)(OH). The variations in the size and shape of the d...

The development of membrane technology from biopolymer for water filtration has received a great deal attention researchers and scientists, owing to the growing awareness environmental protection. present investigation is aimed at producing poly(D-lactic acid) (PDLA) membranes, incorporated with nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) nanowhisker (CNW) different loadings 1 wt.% (PDNC-I, PDNW-I) 2 (PDNC...

We compared the performance of bandpass filtering methods, the commonly used mathematical morphology operator (MMO) method and the convolution-wavelet method (CNW) on both simulationed and real sEMG data. The CNW showed better performance as compared to bandpass filtering and the MMO particularly for low signal-to-artifact ratios

Free-standing tungsten-nanowhiskers about 3 nm in thickness were fabricated on SiO2 substrates with electron-beam induced deposition in a transmission electron microscope operated at 400 kV at room temperature. The growth process of the nanowhisker was observed in-situ and analyzed. The nanowhisker was characterized with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Nucleus-deposits smaller...

Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) nanowhiskers with attractive electrical and anti-reflection properties were prepared by the glancing-angle electron-beam evaporation technique. Structural and crystalline properties of such nanostructures were examined by scanning transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Their frequency-dependent complex conductivities, refractive indices and absorption coe...

This paper provides an overview of the most up-to-date information available relating to chitin nanowhiskers. This paper presents aspects about chitin nanowhiskers, including methods of extraction and preparation, chemical modification and applications. Chitin nanowhiskers can be obtained by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, TEMPO-mediated oxidation, partial deacetylation with NaOH by fibril surfac...
