a convenient, rapid, and one-pot method for the synthesis of azo dyes has been developed. in this protocol, diazotization reagent (arn2+ -cro3–sio2) was prepared via grinding of aromatic amines, nano2, wet sio2 and nano silica chromic acid (nano-sca) without solvent at room temperature. the obtained diazotization reagent was sufficiently stable to be kept at room temperature in the dry state fo...

running the industrial components at a proper temperature is always a big challenge for engineers. internal combustion engines are among these components in which temperature plays a big role in their performance and emissions. with the development of new technology in the fields of ‘nano-materials’ and ‘nano-fluids’, it seems very promising to use this technology as a coolant in the internal c...

background marine sponge/nano-cuo as a natural catalyst efficiently catalyzed the sulfonylation reaction of p-chlorobenzene sulfonyl chlorides with amines in order to prepare sulfonamides. the advantages included use of a natural catalyst, ease of handling, requirement of a very small amount of catalyst, mild reaction condition and appropriateness to high yield. objectives the current study aim...

Thermally responsive Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) co-allylamine (PNIPAM-co-ALA) nano-gels were synthesised and grafted onto non-woven polypropylene. Silver nitrate was incorporated into the nano-gels in their expanded state and their antimicrobial properties tested. Bacterial growth was measured before and after the Lower Critical Solution Temperature. Below the LCST, bacteria grew, above the LC...

A facile and simple method was proposed to control the size and shape of the MgO nano structures with high surface area in the presence of efficient and cheap templates like PEG 200, PEG 600, PEG 4000 and sorbitol at low temperature within a little time. Nano rods and Nanoparticles have been achieved by applying these templates and altering other growth parameters. The products were charact...

Compared with UV embossing and micro-contact imprinting, hot embossing technology is the first to be used in nano-imprint lithography, and is access to copying the parallel structure in micro-nano-scale at low cost and relatively faster speed. This paper explores which factors influence some pattern transferring accuracy appearing in the experiment: the adhesion between mold and polymethyl meth...

In this paper, we present the fabrication of nano optical elements by means of deep reactive ion etching technique (Bosch process) on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The nano structures are fabricated in a two step process. The first step consists of direct-writing nanoscale patterns on PMMA polymer by electron beam lithography. These nano patterns are then transferred to the silicon surface ...

Noble metal nanoslit structure has attracted an increasing interest in nanoscale photonic devices, and bio applications. However, methods typically used for fabricating nano-sized slit, such as, e-beam direct etching, template-assisted photolithography, and nano-imprint lithography, have low yield and are limited to sub-nano sized slit. In this work, we observed that slit width of Au metal is g...

the pellet-type sno2 sensor was synthesized by the solid state method and the effects of additives such as nano zno (1-12 mol %) and nano in2o3 (1-10 mol %) on the co gas sensitivity of sensor were investigated. the optimum sintering temperature was chosen 800°c because of the porosity content of the samples. the phase analysis and microstructure of the samples were studied by x-ray diffraction...

Determining the optimum input parameter settings (temperature, rotational velocity and feed rate) in optimizing the properties (strength and time) of the nano-drilling process can result in an improvement in its environmental performance. This is because the rotational velocity is an essential component of power consumption during drilling and therefore by determining its appropriate value requ...
