in this study ptfeco ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3d) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (ptfeco/gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (orr) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. a combination of analytical techniques including powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...

We propose an experimental technique for an easy to control realization of a binary dipolar monolayer where the two components have oppositely oriented dipole moments constrained perpendicular to the plane of motion without the application of an external field. The experimental setup ensures that hydrodynamic effects do not play a crucial role in the structure formation, the particles move dete...

The influence of inert particles on liquid/solid mass transfer is studied in fluidized beds by using a binary-mixture of solids of differing size and density. The addition of inert particles of higher density and smaller diameter, e.g. glass beads, exerts remarkable effects on mass transfer coefficients in comparison to that of mono-component active particles at the same liquid velocity. The ex...

In the present work, the effect of the restitution coefficient on the numerical results for a binary mixture system of sand particles and char particles in a bubbling fluidized bed with a huge difference between the particles in terms of density and volume fraction has been studied based on two-fluid model along with the kinetic theory of granular flow. Results show that the effect of restituti...

We show that a new type of hydrogel can be prepared by covalently inter-linking binary blends of microgel (MG) particles and that the swelling ratio and modulus of the gels can be predicted from their composition. In previous work we established that physical gels of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) functionalised poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid-co-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) microge...

McCoy cell cultures infected with the agent of ovine chlamydial polyarthritis were examined with the electron microscope. The agent was seen as small dense particles (250 to 450 nm) with an eccentric nucleoid and a multilaminated cell wall, as large (800 to 1,200 nm) granular particles surrounded by two unit membranes and as intermediate particles. Replication, which occurred throughout the cyt...
