Effect of Ambient Pressure and Wire Parameters on Nanoparticle Characteristics during Microsecond Explosion of Aluminum Wire

Bai J., Shi Z., Wu Z., Jia S., Xi'an Jiaotong University, CN

Al nanoparticles have important applications in various fields, e.g., solid rocket propellant, explosives [1], electronics [2], detection of biomolecules [3], and enhancement of the properties of various nanocomposites [4-6], etc. Among various synthesis methods of [...]

Helping nano-entities discover their nano-identity

Castro A., Leeman M., Runyon J.R., Nilsson L., Ulmius Storm M., SOLVE Research and Consultancy AB, SE

Nanoscale materials are becoming increasingly prevalent in our lives. The strategies required to characterize the properties and performance of nanoscale materials can be as unique as the material itself. We have experienced that separation of [...]

Characterization of Nanoparticles in Wood Coating Stains and OSHA HazCom Compliance

Saldivar A., Burrelli L., AMA Analytical, Inc., US

Recent marketing of manufactured products for the construction trades has touted the use of engineered nanoparticles in there formulations. For this study, commercially available wood waterproofing stains were obtained that specifically identified “Nano Particle Technology” [...]

The influence of technique on the measured particle size distribution of complex nanoparticle systems

Jämting Å.K., Roy M., Catchpoole H.J., Lawn M., Babic B., Coleman V.A., Herrmann J., National Measurement Institute Australia, AU

Accurate and reliable characterization of nanoparticles is crucial for both industrial applica-tions and studies of their toxicological and environmental impacts. Particle size distribution (PSD) has been widely recognised as one of the key parameters that [...]

Design of a Small, Battery-Operated Nanoparticle Sizer

Erickson K., Johnson J., Grose M., Kolb J., Morell S., Caldow R., TSI Incorporated, US

A small, portable nanoparticle sizer has been developed to provide an affordable method to measure nanoparticle size distributions. The new nanoparticle sizer incorporates a SMPS Spectrometer into a chassis that is <1 cu.ft. The instrument [...]

Optimization of preparation conditions for size-controlled solid lipid nanoparticles

Choi K-O., Jung J., Ryu J., Che J., Ko S., Sejong university, KP

This study is to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles, with target sizes at 100, 500 and 1000 nm. Nanocrystallization method was applied to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles using beef tallow, hydrogenated soybean oil and hydrogenated palm [...]
