Physical-mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated fly ash-blast furnace slag blends
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
This paper investigated physical mechanical and microstructural properties of alkali-activated binders based on blends of fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS). FA BFS blends were alkali-activated with sodium silicate ...
Crystallization behavior and sintering of cordierite synthesized by an aqueous sol-gel route
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
The purpose of the research was to investigate crystallization behavior and sintering of cordierite synthesized by a low-price aqueous sol gel route starting from silicic acid and magnesium and aluminum salts. Viscous ...
Core-shell superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) clusters: TEM micrograph analysis, particle design and shape analysis
(Elsevier, 2016)
For the first time, particle shape analysis of silica coated iron oxide (maghemite/magnetite) nanoparticle clusters (core-shell nanostructures) is discussed using computational methods. We analyzed three samples of core-shell ...
Preparation of low cost alumina nanofibers via electrospinning of aluminium chloride hydroxide/poly (vinyl alcohol) solution
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Alumina nanofibers are very suitable materials for use as reinforcement in a great variety of high performance composite materials. Nanosized alumina fibers were prepared from the aluminum chloride hydroxide/poly (vinyl ...
Spark plasma sintering of ZrC-SiC ceramics with LiYO2 additive
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) of ZrC-SiC composite powders in the presence of LiYO2 sintering additive was studied. The starting powders were obtained by a carbothermal reduction (CTR) of natural mineral zircon (ZrSiO4), ...
Mg/Cu co-substituted hydroxyapatite – Biocompatibility, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical properties and to optimize antimicrobial activity of hydroxyapatite (HAP) by simultaneous doping with Mg and Cu ions in order to obtain material that would be able to ...
CdS quantum dots sensitized TiO2 nanotubes by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation method
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Within this study a matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation technique was employed for deposition of CdS quantum dots onto TiO2 nanotubes. The number of laser pulses and laser fluence were varied to control the amount of ...
Influence of different pore-forming agents on wollastonite microstructures and adsorption capacities
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, porous macro- and micro-cellular wollastonite-based ceramics was synthesized. A ceramic precursor, methylhydrocyclosiloxane, together with micro-sized CaCO3, was used as a starting material. After 20 min of ...
Spherical assemblies of titania nanotubes generated through aerosol processing
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
We report on the possibility to build hierarchically organized three-dimensional (3D) titania spherical particles having high surface-to-volume-ratio, by aerosol processing of nanotubular building blocks. Morphology and ...
The influence of fluorine doping on the structural and electrical properties of the LiFePO4 powder
(Elsevier, 2017)
Low intrinsic electronic conductivity is the main disadvantage of LiFePO4 when used as a cathode material in lithium ion batteries. The paper offers experimental proofs of the theoretical prediction that fluorine doping ...
