Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are candidate contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and targeted drug delivery. Biodistribution toxicity assessment critical the development of nanoparticle-based drugs, because nanoparticle-enhanced biological reactivity. Here, we investigated uptake, in vivo biodistribution, vitro potential manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles, synthesized by an original high-yield, low-cost mechanochemical process. Cultures murine Balb/3T3...
Abstract Hydride conversion reactions have been recently proposed and verified experimentally on simple binary ternary H‐containing materials. Herein, we show for the first time incorporation of lithium alanates, that is, LiAlH 4 Li 3 AlH 6 , as active materials in negative electrodes rechargeable cells. Samples were prepared by mechanochemical treatment. Characterization samples was performed X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy....
Physico‐chemical equilibria that influence oxide powders' precipitation from an aqueous solution can be substantially altered when the process is carried out in a microemulsion system. To obtain nanosized MnFe 2 O 4 and gain information about physico‐chemical characteristics of products, Mn 2+ Fe 3+ metal ions were induced to precipitate toluene/water/sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate Portions precipitated powder differently treated, both solid state, role restricted domains obtained materials...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Micellar systems are widely applied as reactors to encapsulate inorganic nanoparticles in polymeric materials. However, only low contents and microscale dimensions often achieved. RESULTS: The adsorption of albumin protein on ferrite permits increase the stability dispersions water by inhibiting particle flocculation. Subsequent glutaraldehyde addition induces crosslinking entrapment. Polymer–ferrite composite were obtained this way. magnetic (25 nm mean diameter)...
Hydrogen dissolves in metals by occupying interstitial positions and expanding the lattice. It follows that a stress field is generated loading process itself. The aim of this paper to discuss, on basis experimental results, whether responsible for force which limits attainment high concentrations hydrogen massive palladium samples. A calculation H/Pd concentration shows stress-field relaxation aids uptake our results show suitable path can improve final ratio.
The sodium manganese ferrite thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production by water splitting can successfully operate in a relatively low temperature range (1023–1073 K) and has high potential coupling with the solar source using conventional structural materials. With aim of implementing reactor, evolution rate from reactive mixture measured laboratory apparatus been modeled shrinking-core model. Such model proved to adequately describe studied concentration range. was extended predict...
In the effort to unveil relations between synthesis conditions, morpho-structural features and superconducting properties of (11)-type iron-based superconductors, this study is focused on FeSe0.5Te0.5 materials obtained from high-temperature melts different cooling rates. Crystalline chemical composition are evaluated by means XRD SEM analyses, highlighting formation complex multiphase structures: results suggest that nucleating phases may play a key role in observed phase separation....
