The aim of this study was to evaluate effect of foliar application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on quantitative traits and essential oil, thymol and carvacrol percent of thyme under different levels of water stress. Factorial experiment was used based on a completely randomized design with four replications. Factors included water stress (50, 70 and 90% of field capacity) and titanium diox...

The Materials Science of Titanium Dioxide Memristors

Titanium dioxide was used as a photocatalyst to decompose interfering substances for a quantitative analysis of a fungicide (iprodione) in dry basil by HPLC. A quartz vial containing basil extract and titanium dioxide was irradiated with black light. The interfering substances were almost completely decomposed by 180 min of irradiation, whereas 88.3% of iprodione remained. The recovery of iprod...

A humidity microsensor integrated with a readout circuit on-a-chip fabricated using the commercial 0.18 μm CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process was presented. The integrated sensor chip consists of a humidity sensor and a readout circuit. The humidity sensor is composed of a sensitive film and interdigitated electrodes. The sensitive film is titanium dioxide prepared by the so...

Nanoparticles synthesised by fungi have various applications and is much effective than the nanoparticles synthesised by other means. The present study is aimed to determine the antimicrobial potential of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles synthesised from the fungus, Aspergillus niger. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterised using UV spectrophotometer, SEM, and XRD. The antibacterial acti...

Titanium dioxide is an emerging optical material, with a relatively high refractive index (n ∼ 2), which allows for high confinement of the electromagnetic field. Extensive research has been conducted on the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centre in diamond due to its robust electronic and optical properties. In particular, its stable room-temperature photoluminescence properties have been ...

background and aims. incorporation of nano-particles to orthodontic bonding systems has been considered to prevent enamel demineralization around appliances. this study investigated cytotoxicity of transbond xt adhesive containing 1 wt% titanium dioxide (tio2) nano-particles. materials and methods. ten composite disks were prepared from each of the conventional and tio2-containg composites and ...

anionic dbs surfactant can be photodegraded in a tio2 dispersion and h2o2 solution under an hg-lamp (15 w) uv illumination or solar exposure. degradation process has been monitored through cleavage of aromatic moiety. degradation of the detergent was small when the photolysis was carried out in the absence of tio2 and h2o2 and it was negligible in the absence of light. most of the curves repres...

ag/tio2 photocatalytic nanoparticles by two methods, the sol – gel using a reducing agent and spattering was produced. crystalline phase of titanium dioxide was investigated in both. ag/tio2 peak in the sol – gel method at temperatures of 300,500 and 6000c were studied. ag/tio2 peak at different temperatures were determined using the spattering. xrd patterns of calcined this is tio2 and ag/ tio2.

in this study, tio2 and zno nanofilms were prepared by sol-gel spin-coating method. nanofilms were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of      x-ray (edx), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-esm). structural and morphological properties of nanofilms were investigated. the average crystalline size of tio2 and zn...
