The prime purpose of the current study was to investigate the consequence of surfactant on the kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and stability of MgO-oil based nanofluid. Magnesia (MgO) nanoparticles were prepared by the wet chemical method. Structural and morphological analysis of synthesized nanoparticles were performed via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). Subsequently, nanofluid was prepared at a solid concentration of 0.025% in presence of various surfactants with the aid of ultrasonic technique. The impact of the different surfactants (Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), and Oleic Acid) on the nanofluid stability was tested. It was evident that CTAB and PVA surfactants establish the most stable prepared MgO-oil based nanofluid. The experiments revealed that the maximum UV–Vis absorbance of the solution corresponds to the dispersion of CTAB in the base fluid.

This study reports the simple synthesis of MFe2O4 (where M=Zn, Mn, and Co) nanoparticles by a thermal treatment method, followed by calcination at various temperatures from 723 to 873 K. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a capping agent to stabilize the particles and prevent them from agglomeration. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average particle sizes were obtained by TEM images, which were in good agreement with the XRD results. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the presence of metal oxide bands for all the calcined samples. Magnetic properties were demonstrated by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which displayed that the calcined samples exhibited superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic behaviors.

ABSTRACTAn one-pot procedure was developed for the synthesis of mesoporous silica containing bimetallic PdCo using Pd(NO3)2 and CoCl2, and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as the templating agent, and tetramethoxy silane (TMOS) as the precursor. The materials were characterized using high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HRSTEM), elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and magnetic measurements. The data indicate that the bimetallic Pd-Co nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the inner pore walls of silica. The magnetic measurements of reduced Pd-Co nanoparticles (4-5 nm) in mesoporous silica reveal a typical ferromagnetic behavior up to 20 K and exhibit superparamagnetic properties above 30 K.

The synthesis of SrTiO3 nanocubes have been carried out by solvothermal process using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as capping agent to control the particles morphology. The condition of the synthesis was obtained at 160 ºC for 24 hours with molar ratio of SrTiO3 and capping agent was 1 : 1. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that SrTiO3 adopts a perovskite structure with a higher intensity of 110 at 2q:32.33º and the crystallite size calculated from FWHM was found to be 41 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum shows a shift in particular absorption band attributed the interaction between SrTiO3 particles surface and the head group of CTAB molecules. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image shows the cubic-like particles of SrTiO3, this indicatesthat CTAB successfully functions as capping agent on the synthesis of SrTiO3.

An OMMT (organic montmorillonite) was prepared by ion exchanging between Na-montmorillonite and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and was applied to modify Dicyclopentadiene Dioxide Epoxy(R-122). FT-IR spectra showed that the organic molecules had intercalated into the layers of MMT successfully, X-ray diffraction illustrated that the spacing of layers of MMT increased from 1.43 nm to 3.85 nm. R-122 composite was prepared with this nano-organic montmorillonite. When the content of OMMT was 4.0% (wt%), the impact strenth of the composite reached to the highest(21.2 J/m), which is 92.7% higher than the pure R-122 . Morphology of the fracture checked by SEM, reveals a depth depended distribution which generated more new surface, thus can absorb more impact energy. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) showed that the thermal stability of the composite had improved compared with the pure resin. And what’s more, the improvement of toughness doesn’t hurt the resin’s heat resistance, it may provid a new way to prepare high performance R-122 composites.

Synthesis and characterization of multiple crystalline silver nanowires (NWs) with uniform diameters were carried out by using 1,2-propandiol and ethylene glycol (EG) as comediated solvents and FeCl3as mediated agent in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). Experimental data and structural characterizations revealed that AgNWs have evolved from the multiple crystalline seeds initially generated by reduction of AgNO3with EG and 1,2-propandiol followed by reducing Fe(III) to Fe(II) which in turn reacts with and removes adsorbed atomic oxygen from the surfaces of silver seeds. In addition, uniform silver nanowires were obtained by using FeCl2and AlCl3as mediated agents in EG solution. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed uniform nanowires in both diameter and length. UV-Vis spectra showed adsorption peaks confirming the formation of nanowires. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns displayed the final product with high crystallinity and purity. In this study, a growth mechanism for forming AgNWs was proposed and a comparison between different mediated agents was carried out.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to give an experimental evidence that point defects (most probably gallium vacancies) induce decomposition of InGaN quantum wells (QWs) at high temperatures. In the experiment performed, we implanted GaN:Si/sapphire substrates with helium ions in order to introduce a high density of point defects. Then, we grew InGaN QWs on such substrates at temperature of 730 °C, what caused elimination of most (but not all) of the implantation-induced point defects expanding the crystal lattice. The InGaN QWs were almost identical to those grown on unimplanted GaN substrates. In the next step of the experiment, we annealed samples grown on unimplanted and implanted GaN at temperatures of 900 °C, 920 °C and 940 °C for half an hour. The samples were examined using Photoluminescence, X-ray Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy. We found out that the decomposition of InGaN QWs started at lower temperatures for the samples grown on the implanted GaN substrates what provides a strong experimental support that point defects play important role in InGaN decomposition at high temperatures.

Ferrite nanoparticles with nominal composition Me0.5Fe2.5O4 (Me = Co, Fe, Ni or Mn) have been successfully prepared by the wet chemical method. The obtained particles have a mean diameter of 11–16 ± 2 nm and were modified to improve their magnetic properties and chemical activity. The surface of the pristine nanoparticles was functionalized afterwards with –COOH and –NH2 groups to obtain a bioactive layer. To achieve our goal, two different modification approaches were realized. In the first one, glutaraldehyde was attached to the nanoparticles as a linker. In the second one, direct bonding of such nanoparticles with a bioparticle was studied. In subsequent steps, the nanoparticles were immobilized with enzymes such as albumin, glucose oxidase, lipase and trypsin as a test bioparticles. The characterization of the nanoparticles was acheived by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The effect of the obtained biocomposites was monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results show that in some cases the use of glutaraldehyde was crucial (albumin).

Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) supported on diphenylphosphinated poly(vinyl alcohol- co-ethylene) (DPP-PVA- co-PE) were synthesised by first reacting poly(vinyl alcohol- co-ethylene) with chlorodiphenylphosphine (ClPPh2) under basic conditions and then treating the product with Ni(OAc)2 followed by reduction with NaBH4. (DPP-PVA- co-PE)-NiNPs, a new metallised polymer, was then shown to efficiently catalyse Mizoroki–Heck reactions of aryl iodides, bromides or activated chlorides with olefins such as styrene and n-butyl acrylate in dimethylformamide. In contrast with other polymer-supported catalysts, the main advantage of this method is the low cost of the catalyst due to the simple synthetic route using easily obtained materials and good recoverability. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements were used to show the high metal dispersion and small sizes of Ni nanoparticle on the surface of the modified polymer. DPP-PVA- co-PE-NiNPs could be recycled several times.
