In this research, manganese-embedded activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) were prepared from electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. The average diameter of the PAN fibers was in the range of 200 to 500 nm. After ...

The corrosion behavior of alumina (Al2O3) layer after exposed to deionized water (DI) is studied. This work focuses on the amorphous alumina which is formed via sputtering process, the process that can be found in many ...

Rice husk was used in silicon nitride synthesis by the carbothermal reduction and nitridation which has been recognized as one of the common methods for producing silicon nitride. In this study, catalytic effects of metals ...

[alpha]-alumina with nanocrystallite size can be successfully synthesized by precipitation, sol-gel and solvothermal method with crystallite size of 9.65, 9.52 and 9.74 nm, respectively. As-synthesized product from these ...

As the world is shifting away from its reliance on fossil fuel, lignocellulosic biomass, which is low cost, renewable and abundant with cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin being its major components. Lignin has high potential ...

Diuron is one of common herbicides used in Thailand. Due to its persistence and its potent toxicity, diuron contamination becomes a very serious environmental problem. This research focuses on degradation of diuron via ...

Water is a crucial factor for all living organisms. Although majority of the earth is covered by water, only small fraction the earth’s water is fresh water. The lacking of freshwater is an issue that every countries would ...

Titania nanofibers were prepared from sol-gel method combining with the electrospinning technique. Titanium (IV) isoproproxide (TTIP), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and ethanol were mixed together and electrospun into ...

Flexible TiO2-PVP/PAN photocatalyst in form of core/sheath nanofibers were fabricated from combining sol-gel method and coaxial electrospinning technique. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as core polymer, while ...

Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers decorated by zinc oxide nanorods were fabricated by combination of electrospinning technique and hydrothermal treatment. Suspension of 20 nm ZnO nanopartilces in PAN solution was subjected to ...
