Synthesis of Metallic Copper Nanoflowers, Nanocrystals and Nanorods using Electrodeposition and Hydrothermal Techniques
Abstract: Copper nanoflowers and nanocrystals have been fabricated using two different techniques; electro-deposition of copper in polymer and anodic alumina templates (AAT) and Cetyltrimethyl-ammonium Bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal method. Nanorods of copper are produced by electrodeposition in 100 nm AAT. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs record some interesting morphologies of metallic copper nanoflowers and nanocrystals. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) has been used to determine morphology and chemical composition of polycrystalline …

A Review on Hybrid Inorganic–Polymer Analog Nanocomposites Incorporating Pozzolanic Wastes and nano-Additives
Abstract: The recent progress of polymer matrix nanocomposites (PMNCs) reveals that the performance of matrix and filler is at the core of matrix–filler interaction, interfacial bonding, and well-controlled distribution of nanoscale reinforcements. Applying these concepts, we consider inorganic particulate systems as hybrid nanocomposites, in which a discontinuous inorganic matrix is effectively reinforced via synergistic co-incorporation of pozzolanic wastes and nano-additives. In the composite system described above, silica-, alumina-rich pozzolanic materials serve …

Dependency of pure liquid pool boiling heat transfer coefficient to bubble contact angle on roughened Brass heater in new model
Abstract: Heat transfer coefficient of nucleate pool boiling Nucleation is a basic part of phase transformations, which plays an important role in understanding and describing any phase change processes. For a boiling process, nucleation appears in the initial stage, and directly affects bubble formation and boiling intensity. According to the heterophase fluctuations which induce phase transition, the phase change has two main types. Classically, phase change caused by the fluctuation with …

Polymer Composite-Assisted Crystal Engineering for Drug Synthesis and Property Control through Solid Solutions and Co-Crystals
Abstract: The long-standing problem of low aqueous solubility, which affects about 90% of all new drug molecules under development, requires an immediate need for alternative approaches apart from the usual practice of crystallization. Polymer-composite-assisted crystal engineering is a novel technique for overcoming the aforementioned problem. This involves the addition of accepted pharmaceutical polymers, such as HPMC, PVP, PEG, and Eudragit copolymers in a single process, which can promote nucleation, stabilize the …
