glycerol mono-oleate (gmo) was produced by direct esterification reaction with amberlyst 16 resin catalysts with the efficiency of 86% and was used as a surfactant for synthesis of cofe2o4 nano-particles by surfactant-assisted microwave method. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and...

A new carbazole- containing polymer has been synthesized for further photophysical studies. Efficient synthesis of the substituted methyl methacrylate has been accomplished via microwave assisted synthesis of 1 - chloro - 4-carboxy -5,6, 7, 8- tetrahydrocarbazole followed by further steps, such as reduction of the 4-substituted methyl carboxylate, dechlor...

In the manner that very important research is often performed by multidisciplinary research teams, the applications of multicomponent reactions involving the combination of multiple starting materials with different functional groups leading to the higher efficiency and environmentally friendly construction of multifunctional/complex target molecules is growing in importance. This review will e...

A continuous microwave equipment (CME) has been successfully developed in order to achieve an extremely rapid and mass production for ZSM-5 and NaY zeolite. A precursor mixture for synthesis of ZSM-5 was prepared by mixing aluminosilicate gel with a nanoseed solution obtained under microwave irradiation, and pumped continuously into the CME. Duration time in the CME was 5 min to accomplish the ...

Sulfonic acid functionalized SBA-15 as a nanoporous acid catalyst was used in the synthesis of 2-Aryl benzoxazoles 4 by the condensation of 2-aminophenol 1 and benzoyl chlorides 2 under microwave irradiation in solvent free reaction conditions. The advantages of this methodology are good product yields (60-98%), being environmentally benign, short reaction times and easy work up.

Due to their rapid, selective, and volumetric heating, microwaves have been widely used in the past to enhance solid-state reactions as well as the synthesis of ceramic pigments. The aim of this work is to present a case study involving the preparation of blue CoAl2O4 pigment using different microwave applicators and generator frequencies, showing the advantages which can derive from a properly...

This paper gives a review on the plasma synthesis of nanoparticulate powders. The concept of plasma synthesis is used quite comprehensively, it covers all processes where charged particles are observed. Therefore, the topic of this paper ranges from high-temperature processes and microwave processes to the laser and flame synthesis of nanopowders. For each of the processes discussed in this pap...

The SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) mission will provide from 2007 onwards global maps of soil moisture over land and sea surface salinity over ocean. The radiometry group of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona has been involved either in the definition of the SMOS single payload, MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer by Aperture Synthesis), or in the organization of ...
