Application of silica nanoparticles as fillers in the preparation of nanocomposite of polymers
has drawn much attention, due to the increased demand for new materials with improved …

Coal fly ash (CFA)-an industrial solid waste-has tremendous potential to be used as a
starting material for development of valuable porous catalysts and adsorbents because of its …

While phase change materials (PCMs) have great potential for use in solar energy storage,
they suffer from a lack of shape stability and energy conversion ability. In this study, proper …

Multifunctional composites are becoming a major research trend in modern materials
manufacturing. In this study, a superior stable dispersion of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with in situ …

Large quantities of produced water are generated during the oil and gas production, with a
global estimation of three times larger than the products of oil and gas. Water obtained from …

A pH and thermo dual-controllable composite structure was developed as a triggerable drug
delivery carrier. In such a drug carrier, a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) acts as the …

We investigated the surface modification of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) with 3-
aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). The ZnO-NPs were synthesized by the physical …

Endowing metal implants with multifunctional traits to prevent implant-associated infections
and improve osseointegration has become a pivotal facet in orthopedics and dental fixation …

In this study, low cost synthesis of three-dimensional mesoporous amino-functionalized
silica nanoparticles (AFS-NPs) were synthesized by sol–gel method with the addition of two …

Uniform hollow silica nanospheres (HSNs) synthesized with reverse microemulsion have
great application potential as nanoreactors because enzymes or nanocatalysts can be …
