Abstract: An angular velocity of flow sensor for liquids based on single-walled carbon nanotube
thin films is presented. The carbon nanotubes in this study were fabricated on Si substrate by hot
filament chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The experimental results showed that the flow-induced
current on the surface of carbon nanotube thin films was closely depended upon the angular
velocity, concentration, properties and temperature of the liquids. The current increased with
increasing angular velocity, concentration and temperature of the liquids. In this study, the liquids
such as water, NaCl solution and other electrolyte were flowing over the sensor. The results
obtained were also discussed. The theoretical and experimental studies have shown that there was
electronic friction and electron drag effect of carbon nanotubes in flowing liquids. This effect in
carbon nanotubes can be used for a new flow sensor.

Abstract: A layer of Manganese dioxides (γ-MnO2) was absorbed upon carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) surface by using a chemical deposit process. The morphologies of the MnO2/CNTs
composite were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energydispersive
X-ray spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and laser Raman spectroscopy
(RS). It is found that absorbed layer belongs to the γ-MnO2 nanoparticles in size about 10 nm,
and coated homogeneously around the CNTs. It is expected that this MnO2/CNTs composite
will be widely applied to make supercapacitors.

Abstract: To avoid microcrack formation caused by the addition of heterogeneous sintering aids, nano
hydroxyapatite powder was prepared by precipitation method and doped into commercial
hydroxyapatite powders as homogeneous sintering aid. Gelcasting method was used to prepare these
hydroxyapatite green bodies. Densification of the blended powder was performed by pressureless
sintering in air atmosphere at the range 1100°C to 1400°C for 2h, with a step size of 50°C. The
results showed that the nano particle can greatly improve the densification process of the green
bodies, and at 1300°C, which is the highest sintering temperature for hydroxyapatite without
decomposition in the air atmosphere, the relative sintering densities of the doped green bodies and the
ones without doping were 93.99% and 83.13% respectively.

Abstract: In order to meet the requirements of various applications, considerable efforts have been
focused on the new approaches for synthesizing carbon nanotubes. Recently, simple thermal
chemical vapor deposition growth technique by pyrolyzing ethyl alcohol has been developed.
However, this method needs metallic catalyst. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to synthesize
multi-walled carbon nanotubes without the aid of any catalyst. The as-synthesized products were
analyzed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The HRTEM images show
that the products are straight multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The synthesis technique of carbon
nanotubes is cost-effective because of the catalyst-free process.

Ce Basic Hydroxycarbonate Complexe as Precursor for Mesoporous Ceria: Synthesis and Characterization
Abstract: Herein mesoporous CeO2 with high thermal stability was synthesized via a new
hydroxycarbonates based hydrothermal threatment approach in present of
hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). IR and XRD prove the coexistence of
hydroxycarbonate cerium and CTAB in precursors. TEM micrographs show that non-ordered pore
structure is formed in the product, and average particle size of 20 nm is obtained even after calcined at
1173 K. BET results exhibit that the pore structure is stable when the calcination temperature is
below 923 K. However, While calcinated at 1173 K, the average particle size is 20 nm, the BET
surface area and pore volume can remain as high as 31.07 m2/g and 0.21 cm3 g-1.

Abstract: A simple thermal chemical vapor deposition (STCVD) growth technique of multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is present. Carbon nanotube film was synthesized on the Pt plate
substrates by pyrolysis of ethyl alcohol as carbon source at lower reaction temperature at atmospheric
pressure by using simple apparatus. The as-synthesized MWCNTs were characterized by both
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy
(HRTEM). The electrical property of an individual MWCNT was evaluated by I-V measurement. The
electrical resistance of single MWCNT is about 450 k/ in linear region under bias voltage between 2
to 4 V. It can undergo a large current of 6 2A at 4 V

Abstract: Colloidal silica particles, Bimodal size distribution, Nucleation
Abstract. Colloidal silica particles with bimodal size distribution have been prepared by the
hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in alcoholic solutions of water and ammonia as catalyst.
Experimental conditions such as concentration of NaCl, amount of water and reaction temperature
were investigated to reveal the formation mechanism of the colloidal silica particles. The nucleation
process of colloidal silica particles with bimodal size distribution depends on the hydrolysis rate of
TEOS and the ionic strength of reaction media. The hydrolysis reaction is the rate-limiting step
during the nucleation process. Nucleation involving background ions generated by TEOS hydrolysis
reaction and addition of electrolyte(NaCl) is another potentially important factor for nucleation
process of electrically charged clusters. A critical value of ionic strength exists in the reaction to
form bimodal size distribution particles.

Abstract: The CdS/PVP fibers have been successfully prepared by electrospinning. Scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis absorption spectra
were used to characterize the structure. Results showed that the concentration of polymer solutions
and the CdS amount in the solvent influenced the morphology and the diameter of the electrospun
fibers. The electrospinning from CdS/PVP in ethanol produced a structure having a combination of
fibers, ribbons, beads and an unexpected half hollow sphere (HHS) structure. When the weight ratio
of CdS:PVP was kept at 1:1000, the morphologies of electrospun products changed from HHS, to
beaded fibers and ribbons, to beaded fibers, and to bead-free fibers with the increasing of the PVP
concentration.

Abstract: The effects of an organic solvent on the electrospinning of water-soluble polyacrylamide
with ultrahigh molecular weight were investigated. An organic solvent, DMF, was introduced to the
polyacrylamide aqueous solution and subsequently, transparent spinning solutions were obtained.
The spinning solution was electrospun at the voltage of 10 kV and the electrospun products were
examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that all the electrospinning
products including colloidal particles, beaded fibers and smooth fibers were fabricated in the
DMF/H2O bi-component solvent and the morphology of electrospun products changed from smooth
fiber to beaded fiber with the increasing amount of DMF used.
