This contribution presents the production of polymer-coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles carrying functional groups on their surface and their basic characterization. The preparation of polymer-coated nanoparticles was carried out by a two-step process. In the first step, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method from the solutions of FeCl2.4H2O and FeCl3.6...

A novel process of fabricating various oxide nanostructures on glass substrates is described. Transparent porous alumina films ( 6–150 nm) were first formed in acid solutions by anodization of aluminum layers sputter-deposited on a glass plate coated with a tin-doped indium oxide film. The porous alumina structures after pore-widened were then used as a host or a template in a sol–gel process t...

background: titanium (ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (ha). however, ha has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. it is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of zro2 and the chemical inertness of al2o3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating ti implants with ha-zro2-al2o3 to modify the s...

The desorption behavior of cationic-nonionic surfactant mixtures, tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and pentadecylethoxylated nonyl phenol (NP-15), at the alumina-water interface was studied. It has been found that while nonionic NP-15 itself does not adsorb at alumina-water interface, it will do so with cationic TTAC preadsorbed at the interface. During the desorption process, howeve...

A sensitive and selective solid phase extraction procedure for the determination of traces of Cd(II),Zn(II) and Ag(I) ions has been developed. An alumina-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coated on with2,3 Di Hydro 2,3 para tolyl Qinazoline (1 H)- 4 one (DPTQO). The influences of the analyticalparameters including pH and sample volume were investigated. Common coexisting ions did notinterfere on the...

The reaction of formaldehyde with β-diketones (Hantzsch reaction) has been often employed for derivatizing formaldehyde to the fluorescent compounds.1,2 Among βdiketones, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone, Fig. 1) seems to be the most promising because of the strong fluorescence intensity and stability of the formed compound. Recently, we developed a method for concentrating trace hyd...

Monolithic ceramics have been fabricated from coated green fibers to create fibrous microstructures. The fibrous monoliths consist of high aspect ratio polycrystalline regions (cells) of a primary phase separated by thin secondphase regions (cell boundaries) designed to improve fracture resistance. The cells are the remnants of the green fiber which consists of ceramic powder and a polymer bind...

The transient heating in an unsymmetrical coated hot–strip sensor was simulated with a self–adaptive finite element method. The first tests of this model show that it can determine with a small error the thermal conductivity of liquids, from the transient temperature rise in the hot–strip, deposited in a substrate and coated by an alumina spray.

a simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method was presented for determination of trace amounts of cu (ii) in water samples. the stability of an n, n´ -disalicylideneethylenediamine modified nano geraphene especially in concentrated hydrochloric acid was studied which used as a recycling and pre-concentration reagent for further uses of n, n´-disalicylideneethylenediamine modified na...
