Article Synopsis
  • Oxide nanoparticles, like zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), are important due to their unique properties, such as high surface area and enhanced catalytic activity, leading to various industrial uses and research developments.
  • This study focuses on how different chemical precursors and lower synthesis temperatures (110-160 °C) affect the properties of ZrO₂ nanoparticles produced through hydrothermal synthesis, eliminating the need for higher temperatures and pressure.
  • The results show that at synthesis temperatures of 110-130 °C, the nanoparticles predominantly form a cubic structure, transitioning to a monoclinic phase after heating beyond 500 °C, and exhibit notable absorption in the UV range, making them suitable for applications like UV absorbers and additives in

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated how irradiation from krypton and helium ions affects the structure and composition of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) at room temperature, specifically CoCrFeNi and CoCrFeMnNi.
  • Findings showed that while elemental distribution remained stable, blisters formed on nickel surfaces due to the irradiation process, with large ones averaging 3.8 μm in diameter.
  • The research noted significant changes in lattice parameters, stress levels (compressive and tensile), and dislocation densities in the HEAs post-irradiation, indicating differences in material responses between the two alloys.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study examined changes in their structure and surface morphology after irradiation, revealing the development of a porous surface with microchannels, and noted that CoCrFeMnNi had smaller blister sizes compared to CoCrFeNi.
  • * Results showed that while elemental compositions remained stable under high temperatures, CoCrFeMnNi demonstrated better radiation resistance by forming compressive macrostresses and a higher dislocation density compared to CoCrFeNi.

In this work, the surfaces of poly (ethylene terephthalate) track-etched membranes (PET TeMs) with pore sizes of 670-1310 nm were hydrophobized with 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate (DFHA) by photoinitiated graft polymerization. Attenuated total reflection FTIR spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), and contact angle measurements were used to identify and characterize the TeMs. The optimal parameters for graft polymerization were determined as follows: polymerization time of 60 min, monomer concentration of 30%, and distance from the UV source of 7 cm.
