Tailoring oxidation of aluminum nanoparticles reinforced with carbon nanotubes
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016In this report, the oxidation temperature and reaction enthalpy of Aluminum (Al) nanoparticles has been controlled by reinforcing with carbon nanotubes. The physical mixing method with ultrasonication was employed to synthesize CNT/Al nanocomposite powders. The micro-morphology of nanoconmposite powders has been analysed by scanning electron microscopy,

Studies on metal oxide nanoparticles catalyzed sodium aluminum hydride
Energy, 2010Abstract This paper reports the catalytic activity of several metal oxide nanoparticles such as TiO2, CeO2, La2O3, Pr2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3 and Gd2O3 for NaAlH4. TiO2 was found to be the most effective catalyst. In order to find the size dependence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the catalytic activity, TiO2 nanoparticles of different sizes such as 5 nm ...

Synthesis of oxide-free aluminum nanoparticles for application to conductive film
Nanotechnology, 2018Aluminum nanoparticles are considered promising as alternatives to conventional ink materials, replacing silver and copper nanoparticles, due to their extremely low cost and low melting temperature. However, a serious obstacle to realizing their use as conductive ink materials is the oxidation of aluminum.

Immunization of mice with peptomers covalently coupled to aluminum oxide nanoparticles
Vaccine, 1999Subunit vaccines generally require adjuvants to elicit immune responses, but adjuvants may alter the conformation of critical epitopes and reduce vaccine efficacy. We therefore tested an immunization strategy in which antigen is covalently coupled to aluminum oxide nanoparticles using a method that favors preservation of the native conformation.
