p-type NiO nanofibers have been synthesized from a simple electrospinning and sintering procedure. For the first time, p-type nanofibers have been electrospun onto a conductive fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. The properties of the NiO nanofibers have been directly compared to that of bulk NiO nanopowder. We have observed a p-type photocurrent for a NiO photocathode fabricated on an FTO ...

Nanopowders are applied in a wide range of processes, and their use continues to increase. Fluidization is one of the best techniques available to disperse and process nanoparticles. However, nanoparticles cannot be fluidized individually; they fluidize as very porous agglomerates. Often, it is needed to apply an assisting method, such as vibration or microjets, to obtain proper fluidization. I...

Homogeneous distribution of mullite in the matrix of alumina can be obtained through sol-gel method. In this work, nanopowder of alumina-mullite composite was synthesized with high homogeneity and high purity. So aluminum chloride hexahydrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate were used instead of alumina or mullite nanopowder. Studying the simultaneouse thermal analysis (STA) of mullite precursor re...

Abstract This paper aims to study a passivation technology and process of iron nanopowder, provides basic theory experimental data for promoting the practical application nanopowder as high-efficiency catalyst in production ammonia. There are two specific objectives. The first one is provide nanometal powder device prevent nano metal from being oxidized deactivated. second method using passivat...

in this study metal oxide nano powder namely nio nanopowder was prepared .the producedmetal oxide was characterized and used as potential adsorbent for the removal of pb and zn from aqueoussolution. the rate of uptake of the pb and zn are rapid in the beginning and the time required for equilibrium adsorption is 120 min .the time of equilibrium as well as time required to achieve a definite fra...

Title of dissertation: HIGH ELASTIC MODULUS NANOPOWDER REINFORCED RESIN COMPOSITES FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS Yijun Wang, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Isabel K. Lloyd Department of Material Science and Engineering Dental restorations account for more than $3 billion dollars a year on the market. Among them, all-ceramic dental crowns draw more and more at...

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has become a significant area of research in Dentistry. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the physical, antibacterial activity and bond strength properties of conventional base, core build and restorative of glass ionomer cement (GIC) compared to GIC supplemented with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowder at 3% and 5% (w/w). Material and Methods Vick...
