With the objective of developing a magnetic nanoparticle based sensor, we have synthesized cobalt-substituted ferrite particles using reverse micelles. Reverse micelles have been used to control the nanoparticle size. ...

An approach to automatic control of a continuous tumble mixer of powders is presented. The control system is based on an ideal model that describes the mixer dynamics where the controlled variables are the outlet flow from ...

Reverse micelles prepared in the system water, sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfoccinate (AOT), and isooctane were investigated as a templating system for the production of gold nanoparticles from the reduction of Au (III) ...

Hemeproteins are known for their spectroscopic properties which change during the binding of specific ligands. This project envisioned the immobilization of myoglobin from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin I from ...

Photocatalysis using nanocrystalline materials with enhanced catalytic properties under ultraviolet (UV) or visible light has the potential for becoming one of the leading processes for the abatement of environmental ...

The presence of buried landmines is an environmental problem in many parts of the world; strategies to detect and remove landmines are being developed; one of these strategies is the developing of chemical based sensors. ...

Due to the energetic crisis, the US government has promoted the development of alternatives resources for the generation of electricity. Fuel Cells have emerged as one of the most promising technologies for the power ...

The increasing need to replace current materials with new or reprocessed ones that have more specific properties and uses has led to the use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) for polymer reprocessing. Kraton® poly ...
