In this work, separation performance of supported carbon membranes produced from Novolac Phenolic resin as the main precursor and carbon nanotubes as nanofiller were investigated for separation of CO2 from N2 and CH4. Supports were produced by carbonization of Novolac Phenolic resin-activated carbon mixture, and selective layer was coated by dip coating of prepared supports […]
We have examined the adsorption behaviors of carbon monoxide (CO) molecule on TiO2 anatase supported Au overlayers. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used in order to gain insights into the effects of the adsorption of CO molecules on the considered hybrid nanostructures. We have investigated different adsorption geometries of CO over […]
Y2Ce2O7 nano powders were synthesized via sol-gel reactions at 900 (S1), 1000 (S2) and 1100 (S3) ˚C for 4 h using yttrium acetate (C6H9O6Y.xH2O), ammonium cerium nitrate ((NH4)2Ce(NO3)6) and stearic acid (C18H36O2) as raw materials at stoichiometric 1:1 Y:Ce molar ratio. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and Fourier transforms […]

In this study, magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then, the surface hydroxyl groups […]
Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases of people worldwide. In the development of caries a major role play bacteria of the Streptococcus and Lactobacillus genera which are acidogenic and aciduric. In this work, the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles was investigated on Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus acidophilus […]
Nanoemulsion is an alternative and promising approach to overcome insolubility and bioavailability problems of bioactive compounds. In this study, the sonication parameter for preparing nanoemulsions with high α- tocopherol and linolenic acid content were optimized by using response surface methodology and their stability were evaluated during 2 months’ storage. The response surface analysis results indicated […]
The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure […]
In this work, adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to remove the acid blue 62 off the aqueous solutions using mesoporous silicate SBA-15 loaded with tannic acid (tannin-SBA-15). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption test (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis characterize synthesized composite. The impacts of some parameters such as PH, […]
Physical limitations of Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductors (CMOS) technology at nanoscale and high cost of lithography have provided the platform for creating Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA)-based hardware. The QCA is a new technology that promises smaller, cheaper and faster electronic circuits, and has been regarded as an effective solution for scalability problems in CMOS technology. Therefore, it […]
