Ferrofluid flow under the influence of rotating magnetic fields
(2012-05)
This work was centered in the understanding both the phenomenological experimental behavior and theoretical description of the flow of a ferrofluid under a rotating magnetic field. The ferrofluid flow under a uniform ...
Development of optimal iron oxide nanoparticles with increased heating capabilities for application in magnetic fluid hyperthermia
(2013)
Hipertermia de fluido magnético (MFH) a mostrado ser un método efectivo para la erradicación de células cancerosas. Esta técnica se basa en la absorción de nanopartículas magnéticas por parte de la célula seguido por la ...
Flexible titanium silicate porous materials for selective carbon dioxide adsorption
(2013)
Flexible titanium silicates are Zorite-like synthetic materials in which their framework atoms’ configuration exhibits mixed oxides containing tetrahedrally coordinated silicon and squaredpyramidal/octahedral titanium ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt-substituted ferrite nanoparticles using reverse micelles
(2005-09)
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. ...
Optimization of a fluid bed dryer by the implementation of a model predictive controller
(2006)
Optimization of the drying operation requires a model containing the operating variables for fluid bed dryers (FBD). Modeling of FBD is still uncertain since the drying process is unpredictable and relies on empirical ...
Modeling and control of continuous tumble mixing of granular materials
(2005-06)
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 ...
Processing and characterization of nematic co-polymer Phba/Pet nanocomposite films via hot-melt extrusion
(2011)
In this research work, the effect of particle shape (i.e. rod-like, spherical and platellet) and concentration on the liquid crystalline structure of poly (4-benzoic acidco-ethylene terephthalate) (PHBA/PET) was evaluated ...
Synthesis and agglomeration of gold nanoparticles in reverse micelles
(2005)
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) ...
Reverse micelles in supercritical carbon dioxide for pharmacological applications: a spectroscopic characterization
(2004)
The aim of this research is to characterize microemulsions in supercritical (sc) CO2 using two spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and FT-IR) and apply the microemulsion approach to extract impurities from a pharmacological ...
Immobilization of myoglobin from horse skeletal muscle (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb1) from Lucina pectinata in hydrophilic polymer networks for H2S biosensor application
(2005)
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 ...
