The dependence of the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites on the modification of the carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Nanostructural TiO2/modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes photocatalysts were prepared by hydrolysis of Ti(iso-OC3H7)(4) providing chemical bonding of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles onto oxidized- or amino-functionalized ...
Conventional and spark-plasma sintering of cordierite powders synthesized by sol-gel methods
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Cordierite powders synthesized by colloidal and alkoxide sol-gel methods were conventionally and spark-plasma sintered. The powders for the sintering investigations were obtained by calcination of the gels at a temperature ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Structure and luminescence properties of Eu3+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals and prolate nanospheroids synthesized by the hydrothermal processing
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
We report on a new approach to the synthesis of Eu3+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals and prolate nanospheroids. They were synthesized by shape transformation of hydrothermally treated titania nanotubes at different pH and in the ...
Influence of microstructure and phase composition on the nanoindentation characterization of bioceramic materials based on hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of microstructure and phase composition on the mechanical behaviour of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and biphasic HAp/beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) bioceramic materials ...
Phase transformation in cordierite gel synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Cordierite gel was synthesized by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route, starting from aluminum chloride, TEOS and magnesium chloride dissolved in absolute ethanol. Crystallization of p.-cordierite from gel at temperatures between ...
Microwave sintering of fine grained HAP and HAP/TCP bioceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
The effect of microwave sintering conditions on the microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties of materials based on hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) was investigated. Fine grained ...
