Aluminum oxide encapsulated high-permittivity (ε) BaTiO3 and ZrO2 core-shell nanoparticles having variable Al2O3 shell thicknesses were prepared via a layer-by-layer methylaluminoxane coating process. Subsequent chemisorptive activation of the single-site metallocene catalyst [rac-ethylenebisindenyl]zirconium dichloride (EBIZrCl2) on these Al2O3-encapsulated nanoparticles, followed by propylene...

in this work, the thermal reaction of aluminum (al) and nickel oxide (nio) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. some effective features of reaction such as reaction temperature, the reaction mechanism, and diffusion rate of oxygen into aluminum structure were studied. reaxff force field was performed to study the al/nio thermite reaction behavior at five different temperatures (5...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost containing copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on was beans, in an experiment factorial were done based on a randomized complete block design in three replications. the experiment treatment were as follows: nanoparticles in 4 levels (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg weight of substrate), vermicompost in 3 levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg-1 weight of substra...

Molten salts are widely used to extract oxides and particulate phases from molten Al and protect Al from oxidization during molten aluminum alloys processing. It was reported that TiCN showed a reasonable stability in molten aluminum during solidification nanoprocessing of aluminum matrix nanocomposites. To further verify the TiCN stability in molten aluminum in molten salt, EDX and TEM were us...

The aluminum oxide materials are widely used in ceramics, refractories and abrasives due to their hardness, chemical inertness, high melting point, non-volatility and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The paper describes work done on synthesis of α-alumina by using the simple, non-expensive solution combustion method using glycine as fuel.Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles were synthesiz...

conclusions this easily fabricated electrode together with the fast and sensitive sw voltammetry was successfully applied for the determination of concentration of atz at trace levels, in different water samples. results the results revealed that decrease in peak current was proportional to atz concentration over the range of 5-75 ng/ml. the limit of detection (lod) and limit of quantification ...

Frequency control of plasmon resonances is important for optical sensing applications such as Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. Prior studies that investigated substrate-based control of noble metal nanoparticle plasmon resonances mostly relied on metal substrates with organic or oxide spacer layers that provided a fixed resonance frequency after particle deposition. Here we present a new ap...

: This work presents results of measurements of viscosity of suspensions including yttrium oxide (Y2O3), yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12) and magnesium aluminum spinel (MgAl2O4) nanopowders in ethanol. Nanoparticles used in our research were either commercially available (Baikowski) or nanopowders newly developed in the Institute of Ceramics and Building Materials in Warsaw, Poland. The study...
