Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lately, silicone rubber because of the desirable permittivity on the one hand and various applications in the implants, membranes, Solar cells, sensors, Semiconductor devices, high frequency devices, photothermal therapy methods, acoustic metamaterials, and insulator materials on the other hand has attracted considerable attentions. In this research, CuCr2O4 nanoparticles were prepared according to the sol-gel method and then were identified by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Results showed that monophase crystal structure with identical morphology of CuCr2O4 nanoparticles has been synthesized. Finally, CuCr2O4 nanoparticles and silicone rubber were composited and then microwave absorbing properties of the CuCr2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite were investigated by vector network analyzer (VNA) exhibiting 48.56 dB microwave attenuation of the CuCr2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite with 2.6 mm thickness at 10.9 GHz frequency and more than 92.99% microwave absorption in the x-band frequency. |

Recently, using microwave devices emitting electromagnetic waves due to enhancing convenient life have been increased that can be harmful to the environment. In this study, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared through the conventional sol-gel procedure and then were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and vector network analyzer (VNA) using S parameters. Results illustrated that pure crystal structure of magnetic nanoparticles has been synthesized by the sol-gel method with 26.91 emu/g magnetic saturation (Ms). Finally, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were composited by silicone rubber to investigate of its microwave absorption properties. Results showed that CuFe2O4/silicone rubber nanocomposite absorbed more than 94.87% of microwave at ku-band frequency with 1.7 mm thickness and the maximum reflection loss was -60.38 dB at 16.1 GHz. Magnetic and dielectric properties of the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles and silicone rubber polymeric matrix in the nanocomposite demonstrated desirable microwave absorption properties. |

Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been introduced in orthodontic clinical practice in order to allow tooth movements avoiding side effects in the position of adjacent teeth. Miniscrews are available on the market with different diameters and materials. Accordingly, the purpose of the present report was to measure and compare the forces to bend and fracture different mini implants. Ti-6Al-4V Titanium and stainless steel TADs of different manufacturers (Spider Screw – HDC; Mini implants – Leone; Benefit – Orteam; Storm - Kristal) were evaluated. Two different diameters (1.5 mm and 2.0 mm) were tested. Ten unused specimen for each group were blocked in an Instron Universal Testing Machine and a shear load was applied at the neck of the screws. The force to bend the mini implant was measured at 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm deflections. Moreover the maximum load before screw fracture was recorded. Data were submitted to statistical analysis. 2.0 TADs showed significantly higher forces than 1.5 mm screws both at 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm deflections and at maximum load. Moreover, no significant differences were reported between titanium and stainless steel mini implants for equal diameter |

sciforum-016936 | Rapid and Facile Fabrication of Wafer Scale Silicon Hierarchical Structures with Broadband Ultra High Anti-Reflection Property | , , , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nanostructuring of Silicon surface has perceived exponential growth over time due to its high demanding properties like superhydrophobicity and high anti-reflection [1]–[3]. Especially hierarchical structures (combination of micro- and nano- structures) on Silicon with significantly increased surface area has demonstrated enhanced optical and surface wettability properties, making it highly suitable for applications like self-cleaning, solar cell, photoluminescence, contamination prevention, etc [3]–[5]. Various techniques like vapour-liquid-solid (VLS), reactive ion etching (RIE), electrochemical etching and wet anisotropic electroless etching have been optimised for micro- and nanostructuring over Silicon surface [5]–[9]. Methods like VLS and RIE are expensive and complicated. Wet electrochemical and electroless etching processes are simpler but electrochemical etching gives a very non-uniform porous structure and electroless etching only gives rise to microstructure and is also dependent on the orientation of Silicon surface. Nanostructuring of Silicon wafers using metal assisted etching has also been reported which is a rapid process [4], [10]. However, this process only results in the formation of nanostructured Silicon. There are reports where wet chemical etching and metal assisted etching process have been combined to realize hierarchical structures on Silicon but it does require longer time and large area uniformity in the formation of hierarchical structures is unpredictable [3], [11]. In this work, for the first time we propose an extremely fast and facile electroless method of fabricating hierarchical structures on Silicon wafer covering a large area. Added major benefits to this proposed method is that complete wafer can be textured within 3 to 8 minutes time span and is not dependent on the orientation or doping concentration of Silicon. The unpolished side of a commercial Silicon wafer having grooved cup shaped microstructures on it was used as the base to deposit silver (Ag) nanoparticles electrolessly. After the Ag nanoparticle deposition for varied time between 30 s to 2 min, the Silicon wafer was etched for different time duration (1 min to 7 min) in dilute mixture of Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Eventually the Ag nanoparticles were etched away in dilute Nitric acid leaving behind the hierarchical structures of Silicon unaffected. Pyramidal shaped microstructured Si surface was also used for deposition of Ag nanoparticles followed by a similar processing as mentioned above. Diffused optical reflectance measurement on the hierarchical structured Silicon showed significant reduction by 46% in comparison to plane polished Silicon. Moreover insignificant variation in reflectance was observed over a broad wavelength range of 300 nm to 1400 nm. It is concluded that such facile large area processing of hierarchical anti-reflecting structures on Si can be extremely beneficial for optical applications using Silicon. References: [1] Y.

Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Multiferroic materials, in which long-range magnetic and ferroelectric orders coexist, have recently been of great interest in the fields of both basic and applied sciences. The Y-type hexagonal ferrite Ba2Mg2Fe12O22 is an example of a multiferroic material. Its single crystals have a relatively high spiral-magnetic transition temperature (~200 K), show multiferroic properties at zero magnetic field, and the direction of the ferroelectric polarization can be controlled by a weak magnetic field (< 0.02 T) [1]. We present a study of the influence of substituting the Mg2+ cations in the Y-type Ba2Mg2Fe12O22 hexaferrites with a magnetic cation, such as Co2+, on the structural and magnetic properties. The Ba2Mg0.4Co1.6Fe12O22 powder was synthesized by sonochemical co-precipitation. High-power ultrasound was applied to assist the co-precipitation process. The precursors produced were synthesized at 1170°С. The XRD spectra of the powders showed the characteristic peaks corresponding to the Y-type hexaferrite structure as a main phase and some CoFe2O4 impurity (< 2%) as second phase. This was also confirmed by Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements. The magnetization values at 50 kOe were 30 emu/g and 26.6 emu/g at 4.2 and 300 K, respectively. The ZFC and FC magnetization curves were obtained at a magnetic field of 500 Oe. The magnetic measurements revealed a magnetic phase transition at 200 K from ferrimagnetic-to-helical spin order. Such a transition is considered as a precondition for the material to exhibit multiferroic properties. [1] K. Taniguchi, N. Abe, S. Ohtani, H. Umetsu, T.
