Highly ordered macroporous gamma-alumina prepared by a modified sol-gel method with a PMMA microsphere template for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The adsorption performance of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) gamma-alumina was investigated for enhanced Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cd2+ removal. The synthesis was based on a modified sol-gel method using a colloidal ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
