TiO2 and Y2O3 nanoparticles’ molecular, mechanical, energy absorption, as well their manufacture applications, were evaluated. Consider- ations include dimensions, structure, friction factor, propagation. Matrix composites nanoparticles are fascinating substances with a great deal of promise for usage in many different sectors the economy. Recent stud- ies imply that optimising dispersion parti...

In this study, molybdenum-copper/alumina nano composite was synthesized with mechano-chemical method using high energy planetary ball milling. The molybdenum oxide, copper oxide and aluminum powder were used as starting materials and reaction appeared to occur through a rapid combustion reaction process. The evaluation of powder particles after different milling times was studied by X-ray diffr...

Tribological behavior of Cu-MoS2 and Ag-MoS2 nanocomposite lubricant was studied. Cu nanoparticles produced by electrical explosion of copper wires and Ag nanoparticles prepared by electrospark erosion were employed as metal cladding modifiers of MoS2 nanolamellar particles. The tribological tests showed Cu-MoS2 and Ag-MoS2 nanocomposite lubricants changed the friction coefficient of the initia...

In the previous chapters it was shown that how a combination of a DC electric field and moderately elevated temperatures to a silver-doped nanocomposite glass could lead to dissolution of the silver nanoparticles in the glass matrix. From a macroscopic point of view, this effect was called “electric field-assisted dissolution” (EFAD). The phenomenon was physically interpreted in terms of ioniza...

Novel carbon nanotubes±metal±ceramic nanocomposite powders and dense materials have been prepared and their microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated. After a brief review on the structure, synthesis and physical properties of carbon nanotubes, we describe an original catalytic method that produces ceramic±matrix composite powders that contain in situ grown nanotubes. The ...

Nanocomposite of NiAl2O4/SiO2 (NAS) was prepared through insitu solgel reaction, in which NiAl2O4 nanocrystals were dispersed in the silica glassy matrix. The prepared dried NAS gel, at 338 K, was heat treated to different temperature and identified the temperature range (1083 – 1163 K) of the nanocomposite formation through XRD patterns. From XRD patterns, crystallite size of NiAl2O4 particles...

Assessment of adsorption zinc (II) ions from aqueous solution using alginate-SBA-15 sorbent nanocomposite was investigated as a function of zinc concentration, solution pH, and contact time. For that purpose, the alginate-SBA-15 nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared through encapsulation method by immobilization mesoporous SBA-15 into a polymeric matrix. Identification of functional groups and s...

Background and Objectives: Antimicrobial active packaging with metallic nanoparticles is used as antimicrobial agent in the packaging of food. This study considers the coliform retarding ability of antimicrobial packaging in ultra-filtrated (UF) cheese. Materials and Methods: Plastic films based on low-density polyethylene containing organoclay (cloisite 30B) and different percentages of Ag an...

Dielectric properties of in-situ formed silver (Ag) incorporated carbon black (CB)/polymer composites were studied. In-situ formed Ag nanoparticles in the Ag/CB/epoxy composites increased the dielectric constant (K) value and decreased the dissipation factor (Df). The remarkably increased dielectric constant of the nanocomposite is due to the piling of charges at the extended interface of the i...

In-situ homogeneous dispersion of noble metals in three-dimensional graphene sheets is a key tactic for producing macroscopic architecture, which is desirable for practical applications, such as electromagnetic interference shielding and catalyst. We report a one-step greener approach for developing porous architecture of 3D-graphene/noble metal (Pt and Ag) nanocomposite monoliths. The resultin...
