Composite Sorbents Based on Chitosan Polymer Matrix and Derivatives of 4-Amino-N'-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide for Uranium Removal from Liquid Mineralized Media.

Composite adsorbents based on a natural biopolymer matrix of chitosan, to which 4-amino-N'-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide and its Se derivative were attached, were synthesized. A complex of physicochemical analysis methods indicates that the direct introduction of a matrix with high ionic permeability into the reaction mixture contributes to the formation of homogeneous particles of composite with developed surface morphology, which enhances the kinetic and capacitive parameters of uranium sorption in liquid media. It has been established that the direct introduction of a matrix with high ionic permeability into the reaction mixture contributes to the formation of homogeneous particles with a developed surface morphology, which enhances the kinetic and capacitive parameters of uranium sorption in liquid media.

Composite Sorbents Based on Polymeric Se-Derivative of Amidoximes and SiO for the Uranium Removal from Liquid Mineralized Media.

A new composite material with enhanced sorption-selective properties for uranium recovery from liquid media has been obtained. Sorbents were synthesized through a polycondensation reaction of a mixture of 4-amino-N'-hydroxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboximidamide (hereinafter referred to as amidoxime) and SiO in an environment of organic solvents (acetic acid, dioxane) and highly porous SiO. To establish optimal conditions for forming the polymer sorption-active part and the synthesis as a whole, a series of composite adsorbents were synthesized with varying amidoxime/matrix ratios (35/65, 50/50, 65/35).

Fabrication and Magnetic Behavior of Jellyfish-Like Ni Nanowires Synthesized Using Bilayered Nanoporous Anodic Alumina Templates.

The potential to produce nanostructures with intricate shapes in large quantities holds promise for a range of applications in the fields of nanoelectronics and biomedicine. Here a method for fabricating jellyfish-like Ni nanowires (JFNWs) using bilayered nanoporous anodic alumina templates with through pores of varying diameters in each layer is presented. To assess the capabilities of this method, samples are created with different voltages during the second step of anodization, resulting in distinct geometrical characteristics of the second layer of the template, and subsequently synthesize Ni JFNWs.

Microstructure, ion adsorption and magnetic behavior of mesoporous γ-FeO ferrite nanoparticles.

Magnetic nanoparticles with capacity for surface functionalisation have potential applications in water purification and biomedicine. Here, a simple co-precipitation technique was used to synthesize mesoporous ferrite nanoparticles in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micellular surfactant. The as-synthesized ferrite nanoparticles were calcined at 250 °C for 5, 10, 15, and 24 h to remove the surfactant and create a mesoporous structure.

Nonuniform Current-Driven Formation and Displacement of the Magnetic Compensation Point in Variable-Width Nanoscale Ferrimagnets.

Nano- and microstructures based on ferrimagnets can demonstrate high efficiency and dynamics of current-induced magnetization switching combined with high stability of spin textures such as bubble domains and skyrmions, which are of practical importance for the development of spintronics and spin-orbitronics. This set of features is usually associated with magnetic momentum or angular momentum compensation states. Here, we experimentally show that the compensation state can be realized locally using nonuniform Joule heating.
