in this study, al/al2o3 composites with two different particle sizes of 1 µm and 0.3 µm were produced via accumulative roll bonding (arb). the microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and fracture behavior of the composites were investigated. results show that higher arb cycles are required to achieve a uniform distribution of particles in the composite with 0.3 µm particle size. during ...

diesel exhaust particles are a complex mixture of thousands of gases and fine substances that contain more than 40 different environmental contaminants. being exposed to these exhaust particles (called soot) can cause lung damage and respiratory problems. diesel particulate filters are used in many countries for mobile sources as a legal obligation to decrease harmful effect of these fine parti...

This research report related to nano-sized particles of tetragonal rutile phase TiO2. We havesuccessfully synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles, by chemical method non-toxic and bio-safe, at lower than 100°C. This method is simple, economic and friendly for environmentally and suitable for large scale grains. Using of choline chloride, to decrease the size of commercial TiO2 by chemical method. ...

The research investigates synthesized Nano-structured PbO2 using ball milling. The structure and morphology of the samples were determined in the process of milling by means of XRD and SEM. The size of particles was estimated through DLS analysis. The TEM image of the synthesized powder verifies the achievement of Nano dimensions. Design and analyses of the results using Taguchi methodology rev...

0739-5175/03/$17.00©2003IEEE T he forces exerted by nonuniform ac electric fields can be harnessed to move and manipulate polarizable microparticles—such as cells, marker particles, etc.—suspended in liquid media. Using rotating electric fields, controlled rotation can be induced in these same particles. The ability to manipulate suspended particles remotely without direct contact has significa...
