Thermal and chemical stability of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoplatelets
(2015)
High-temperature properties of boron nitride platelets (200-800 nm in width and 30-50 nm in thickness) were systematically evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in combination with differential scanning ...
Few-layer graphene-like flakes derived by plasma treatment: A potential material for hydrogen adsorption and storage
(2016)
A novel, one-step, wet-free, environmental friendly and high-yield method for producing few-layer graphene powders with large surface areas (up to 800 m2/g) and narrow nanopore sizes (0.7-0.8 nm) using plasma-induced ...
Structural features of ball-milled nanostructured K2Bi 8Se13 thermoelectric material
(2011)
In this work, K2Bi8Se13 material was ball-milled in order to develop nanostructures through the modification of structural features. Structural changes during ball-milling were followed by powder X-ray diffraction measurements, ...
Nanostructural studies of PVD TiAlB coatings
(2006)
TiAlB coatings with different compositions were deposited by co-sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets onto AISI316 stainless steel substrates at a temperature of 170 °C. The stoichiometry and nanostructure have been studied ...
Synthesis and characterization of water-dispersible, superparamagnetic single-wall carbon nanotubes decorated with iron oxide nanoparticles and well-defined chelating diblock copolymers
(2011)
A novel approach for the fabrication of magneto-active carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stabilized in aqueous media, involving the combination of carboxylated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a new class of methacrylate-based ...
Fabrication and characterization of superparamagnetic and thermoresponsive hydrogels based on oleic-acid-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, hexa(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and 2-(acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate
(2011)
Stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposites comprised of swollen polymer networks, in which magnetic nanoparticles are embedded, are a relatively new class of "smart" soft materials presenting a significant impact on various ...
Magnetic properties of Fe3O4 thin films grown on different substrates by laser ablation
(2007)
Magnetite thin films have been grown onto (1 0 0)Si, (1 0 0)GaAs and (0 0 0 1)Al2O3, at substrate temperatures varying from 473 to 673 K, by UV pulsed laser ablation of Fe3O4 targets in reactive atmospheres of O2 and Ar, ...
LaSrMnCoO6: A new cubic double perovskite oxide
(2003)
Single-phase polycrystalline powder samples of the double perovskite oxide LaSrMnCoO6 were synthesized by the Pechini (citrate-gel) technique. The structural, magnetic and electrical properties of the obtained powders were ...
Picosecond ultrafast pulsed laser deposition of SrTiO3
(2015)
SrTiO3 particle-composed films were grown on Si substrates via picosecond ultrafast pulsed laser deposition. We have investigated the effect of laser pulse repetition rate (0.2-8.2 MHz) and fluence (0.079-1.57 J cm-2) on ...
