Close coupled gas atomization has been studied. Pitot tube gas flow measurements support a postulate of transition from an initial sonic to a supersonic and a final sonic state along the convergence region of the jets. Predictions of the d50 median diameter utilizing a two phase model for primary and secondary break u…

This paper quantifies the effects of milling conditions on surface integrity of ultrafine-grained steels. Cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were related to microhardness and microstructure of the workpiece beneath machined surface. Low-carbon alloyed steel with 10.8 µm (as-received) and 1.7 µm (ultrafine) grai…

In the present investigation aqueous suspensions of nano- and colloidal range particles are stabilised by changing the ambient pH. Rheology is used to establish the stability of the suspensions and it is found that the rheology of the suspensions is strongly dependent on the pH values. The viscosity is highest close t…

The chitosan was prepared and mixed with some metal salts (FeCl 3 , Co(OAc) 2 and NiCl 2 ) by different concentrations to form chitosan-metal complexes. The metal ions which strongly complexed to the amino groups of chitosan like Fe showed a smooth surface product, amorphous phase, thermally more stable and high elect…

We examine the origin of the electrostatic attraction between nanoparticle (NP) and cells by synthesizing a NP array with a continuous change in surface charge density (SCD). This attraction does not show a linear and continuous change, but a sharp increase as the positive SCD increases. The results of zeta potential…
