Lead immobilization by geopolymers based on mechanically activated fly ash
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
In this paper, the effectiveness of geopolymers based on initial and mechanically activated fly ash in immobilization of lead was investigated. Fly ash (FA) was firstly mechanically and then alkali activated at room ...
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 ...
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 ...
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), ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparative study of CeO2 nanopowders obtained by the hydrothermal method from various precursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effects of common precursors used in the synthesis of CeO2 nanopowders were investigated, and the structural and spectral properties of the resulting products were compared. Two cerium (III) salts, i.e., Ce(NO3)(3)center ...
Optimized preparation of alumina based fillers for tuning composite properties
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Alumina based particles were prepared from aluminium chloride hydroxide as starting material by sol-gel technique. One series of particles was doped with ferrous oxide. Both series of particles were calcinated at three ...
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 ...
