Polycrystalline (Y0.7Gd0.3)(2)O-3:Eu3+ ceramics fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering: Densification and microstructure development
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Using Spark Plasma Sintering it is possible to produce polycrystalline ceramics of very fine microstructure and good mechanical properties. This work presents the fabrication of such ceramics using Eu3+-doped (Y0.7Gd0.3)(2)O-3 ...
Enhanced thermo-mechanical properties of acrylic resin reinforced with silanized alumina whiskers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The acrylic resin reinforced with silanized alumina whiskers with self-healing (SH) agents was synthesized. The self-healing system consisted of microcapsules with the healing agent dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and modified ...
Crystallization and sinterability of glass-ceramics in the system La2O3-SrO-B2O3
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Glasses with a constant B2O3 and an increasing La2O3 content in the system La2O3-SrO-B2O3 were obtained by the usual melt quenching procedure. The crystallization and sinterability of the glasses were investigated by hot ...
Preparation and characterization of poly(vinyl butyral) electrospun nanocomposite fibers reinforced with ultrasonically functionalized sepiolite
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
This study presents an investigation of the effects of the processing conditions on the uniformity, morphology and structure of patterned nanofibrous mats of electrospun poly(vinyl butyral)/sepiolite (PVB/Sep) nanocomposite ...
Absorption boost of TiO2 nanotubes by doping with N and sensitization with CdS quantum dots
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
A process of obtaining N-doped TiO2 nanotubes sensitized by CdS nanoparticles is presented, including detailed characterizations performed along the synthesis. Transparent TiO2 films consisting of nanotubes, 2.5 mu m long ...
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 ...
Visible-light active mesoporous, nanocrystalline N,S-doped and co-doped titania photocatalysts synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Visible-light active mesoporous N,S-doped and co-doped anatase TiO2 powders were synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route, starting from TiCl4 and Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4) dissolved in cyclohexane or dimethyl sulfoxide, later ...
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 ...
Ex-situ sensitization of ordered TiO2 nanotubes with CdS quantum dots
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Ordered titania nanotubes (pore diameter approximate to 90 nm and wall thickness approximate to 10 nm) were obtained by the anodization technique and used for the ex-situ deposition of cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS ...
The effect of mechanical activation on synthesis and properties of MgAl2O4 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Magnesium aluminate, MgAl2O4 and other alumina-based spinels are ceramics with high hardness, high melting point and mechanical strenght. Spinels can also be used as dielectrics in microwave applications. The goal of this ...
