In this study ceramic-like polyoxide coatings on titanium were modified with a nanostructured sol-gel film, containing calcium, silicate and phosphate ions, which imparted hydrophilicity, solubility, roughness, adsorption activity to the surface, and increased the content of calcium and phosphate ions on the surface. Due to new properties the surface showed bioactivity in vitro experiment. The experimental samples with a two-layer coating (polyoxide layer and sol-gel film) were kept in cell-free simulated body fluid (SBF) for 4 weeks. During experiment, the pH of the solution changed within the alkaline reaction, which contributed to the crystallization of calcium phosphates. On the surface of the samples, the content of calcium and phosphorus ions increased, and hydroxyapatite crystals formed.","PeriodicalId":297187,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts in Material Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124122077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of physical parameters on velocity, micro rotation, and temperature are analyzed graphically. Results reveal that the velocity boundary layer thickness for fly ash nanoparticles is higher than paramagnetic and thermal conductivity of paramagnetic is higher than fly ash nanoparticles.

CNTs have high ability to mediate rapid electron transfer kinetics for a wide variety of electroactive species. Moreover, CNTs are easily modified and functionalized to suite different biological and environmental applications. However, the performance and the manufacture techniques of CNTs electrode have exposed to scientific researchers to be enhanced. CNTsbased electrodes could be fabricated via compressing and coating technologies. Unfortunately, these techniques have a negative impact on the adsorption performance of the electrode [2] as well as coating detachment after a short period [3]. At the present time, arc discharge, laser ablation, catalytic thermal decomposition and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques have been used to synthesize CNTs [4,5]. Arc discharge and laser ablation are still not applicable in the industry due to the low mass production. Whereas, CVD performs a better production of large quantities of CNTs at a low cost, besides, the strong layer stuck over the substrate which in turn improves the performance of the electrode material and can be reused several times.","PeriodicalId":297187,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts in Material Science","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129918232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrogen gas (H2) has long been regarded as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. For instance, fuel cells polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are one of the primary sources as high efficiency energy converting devices. In such processes, producing safe storage of explosive hydrogen gas and circumventing the opportunities of leakage remains a challenging task. Compared to gaseous hydrogen gas storage, on-board hydrogen production by reforming liquid hydrogen carriers will be more promising for future commercialization. Steam reforming of alcoholic sources such as methanol, ethanol or glycerol have been investigated comprehensively for their potential to be converted to hydrogen. Methanol steam reforming (MSR) is considered one of the most favorable chemical processes for on-the-fly hydrogen production for several reasons [2,3]. (i) Methanol is in liquid-state at ambient condition; (ii) it has high H-to-C atom ratio; (iii) requirement of relatively low temperatures (200-400 °C) for activation of methanol and (iv) methanol is sulfur-free and can be easily produced from biomass. Various catalysts have been developed for MSR reactions.","PeriodicalId":297187,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts in Material Science","volume":"18 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125814277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to improve the Pt/TiO 2 composites, steps have been taken to optimize the interaction between Pt and TiO 2 from Kandiel, effectively effecting the surface area and crystal structure of TiO 2 in the resulting Pt/TiO 2 composite and demon strating that although the large Area is useful, increasing crystallinity is preferential. Increasing photocatalytic activity is due to the reduction of site defects that act as charge recombination centers when crystallinity increases. Abstract This article analyzes the developments on the subject and draws conclusions for the study 1722/М - 2017 at the UZNIT of TU - Gabrovo BG. Most metals are highly chemically reactive, especially at nanoscale, without having properties that can be easily used with TiO2 composites. As such, most of the metals below will be considered metal oxides of precious metals. In addition, the most common oxide TiO2 will be discussed, as other oxides are probably unstable and thus do not form stable composites.","PeriodicalId":297187,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts in Material Science","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130510376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
