Recovery of iron from direct reduction iron sludge and biosynthesis of magnetite nanoparticles using green tea extract

Regarding their unique properties, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles such as iron nanoparticles are used in different environmental and engineering aspects. In the field of nanotechnology, a cost-effective and non-hazardous approach is the green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts…

Recyclable Mesoporous Organosilica Nanoparticles Derived from Proline-Valinol Amides for Asymmetric Organocatalysis

Going a step further from bulk organosilicas to nanosized materials, we describe herein the preparation of mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles derived from mono- and bis-silylated proline-valinol amides, both by grafting on preformed mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and by a co-condensation method…

Rheological behaviour and adsorption phenomenon of a polymer–particle composite based on hydrolysed polyacrylamide/functionalized poly(styrene-acrylic acid) microspheres

The properties in aqueous solution of polymer–particle composites (PPC) depend on the size and the concentration of both the particles and the polymers as well as the interactions between them. In this work, rheological behaviour was studied in a semi-diluted…

Room Temperature Synthesis and Thermal Evolution of Porous Nanocrystalline TiO2 Anatase

TiO2 nanoparticles are a major component in many areas, and especially for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) as a result of their electronic structure that allows them to collect the electrons transferred from the dye molecules after sunlight irradiation, as well…
