Striking multiple synergies in novel three-phase fluoropolymer nanocomposites by combining titanium dioxide and graphene oxide as hybrid fillers
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, novel three-phase polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) were prepared using colloidal blending. The PVDF/TiO2/GO ...
Effect of Zn and Ni substitution on structural, morphological and magnetic properties of tin oxide nanoparticles
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of Zn and Zn–Ni co-doped tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel method. The influence of doping concentration on phase and particle size of the ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This work concerns the preparation and characterization of poly (acrylonitrile-co-methyl methacrylate) Copolymer, P(AN-co-MMA), nano-particles using precipitation polymerization technique. Potassium per-sulfate redox ...
Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based polymer nanocomposite membranes for gas separation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2012 , Article)
As synthesised ZIF-8 nanoparticles (size ∼ 60 nm and specific surface area ∼ 1300–1600 m2 g−1) were directly incorporated into a model polymer matrix (Matrimid® 5218) by solution mixing. This produces flexible transparent ...
Tailoring the reducibility and catalytic activity of CuO nanoparticles for low temperature CO oxidation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have received considerable interest as active and inexpensive catalysts for various gas–solid reactions. The CuO reducibility and surface reactivity are of crucial importance for the high ...
Transition metal nanoparticles doped carbon paper as a cost-effective anode in a microbial fuel cell powered by pure and mixed biocatalyst cultures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The poor wettability and high cost of the carbonaceous electrodes materials prohibited the practical applications of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) on large scale. Here, a novel nanoparticles of metal sheathed with metal oxide ...
Sol-gel synthesized NixFe3−xO4 for thermochemical conversion of CO2
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
To identify the best suitable metal oxide (MO) to split H2O/CO2, it is critical to investigate the formation of O2 vacancies during thermal reduction (TR) step and the re-oxidation of the MOs via H2O or CO2 splitting (CS) ...
PdZn nanoparticle electrocatalysts synthesized by solution combustion for methanol oxidation reaction in an alkaline medium
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Herein, we report the synthesis of PdZn nanoparticle (NP) electrocatalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). The PdZn NPs were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis in the presence of Pd(NO3)2·xH2O, ...
The effect of aluminum oxide on red blood cell integrity and hemoglobin structure at nanoscale
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, we explored the interaction of Al2O3 NPs with RBCs and Hb to determine the effect of Al2O3 NPs on hemolytic activity and Hb denaturation. The percentage of hemolysis of extracts and direct contact assays triggered ...
