have wide applications in various areas which increased their release into the …

This study aims to investigate the effects of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-silica
core-shell structures, on the behaviour of cement pastes exposed to high temperature (300 …

The remediation of water streams, polluted by various substances, is important for realizing
a sustainable future. Magnetic adsorbents are promising materials for wastewater treatment …

The interest for core-shells has been increased in the recent years due to their improved and
modifiable properties. In this work, Fe3O4-TiO2 and Fe3O4-SiO2 core-shells were …

Research on magnetic nanoparticles of magnetite (MNPs) has intensified because it can be
coated with different materials leading to diverse properties. In this work, MNPs and silica …

Inspired by the self-cleaning lotus leaf, a facile method of fabricating superhydrophobic silica
coated magnetite nanoparticles using a cost-effective process is presented in this work. The …

Activated sericite was used as a solid matrix for control over the size of iron oxide
nanoparticles (NPs). The activation of sericite was achieved by undergoing thermal, acid …

Investigation and synthesis of anisotropic magnetic nanostructures, such as wires, rods,
fibers, tubes and chains, is an important field of research due to the beneficial properties and …

The aim of the research was to determine how the admixture of nanosilica affects the
