The effects of adding Nano-Silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of Micro-Silica were investigated in this work. The effect of combination of Nano- silica and Micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

in the current investigation a novel nano hybrid adsorbent mcm-41/n-(3-trimethoxysilyl)-propyl)diethylenetriamine (mcm-41/tmspdeta) was prepared and was characterized using dls (dynamic light scattering), fourier transform infrared (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) analytical techniques and transmission electron microscopy (tem). the synthesized mcm-41/tmspdeta adsor...

Revision of the opinion on Silica, Hydrated Silica, and Silica Surface Modified with Alkyl Silylates (nano form)

Efficient generation of a broad-band mid-infrared supercontinuum spectrum is reported in an arsenic trisulphide waveguide embedded in silica. A chalcogenide "nano-spike", designed to transform the incident light adiabatically into the fundamental mode of a 2-mm-long uniform section 1 µm in diameter, is used to achieve high launch efficiencies. The nano-spike is fully encapsulated in a fused sil...

Electromagnetic properties of cylindrical active coated nano-particles comprised of a silica nano-cylinder core layered with a plasmonic concentric nano-shell are investigated for potential nano-sensor applications. Particular attention is devoted to the near-field properties of these particles, as well as to their far-field radiation characteristics, in the presence of an electric or a magneti...

nano silica sulfuric acid as a solid acid, was described to be an effective catalyst for one-pot three-component reaction of kojic acid, aryl aldehydes and indoles for the preparation of 2-substituted aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives. the catalyst was prepared by combination of chlorosulfonic acid to nano silica gel. the size of nanoparticles were observed with sem.all prepared compounds w...

In this paper, lead free (K0.48,Na0.52)NbO3 (KNN(48-52)) piezoelectric ceramics were made by conventional solid state sintering process. Additives of nano ZnO (n-ZnO), nano CuO (n-CuO) and nano SnO2 (n-SnO2) were used in order to decrease the sintering temperature, as well as modifying the dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric propert...

A nitrogen ligand, i.e. 1,3-di-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-propyl propargyl ether (DPPE), has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic mesoporous silica composite (MNP@SiO2-SBA) was obtained via embedding magnetite nano-particles (MNPs) between SBA-15 channels. DPPE palladium dichloride (MNP@SiO2-SBA-DPPE-Pd(II)) then prepared click chemistry fully The Hiyama reaction conditions including solvent, a...

A variety of nano-carriers, nano-particles, nano-fibers, nano-tubes etc. have displayed greater competence to mimic nanoscale environment for the enzyme as compared to microand macro-environments provided by traditional support carriers that have been commonly employed for enzyme immobilization. The porous structured beads (silica, alginate etc.), membranes and fibers (>100 μm) have some inhere...

A new mononuclear Fe(II) complex with the formula [Fe(HL)2Cl2] (1) (HL= N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene)-2-methyl aniline) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–Vis elemental analysis. The analyses revealed two Schiff base ligands via oxygen nitrogen atoms chloride create an octahedral geometry. nano-size of (2) sonochemical process. Characterizat...
