Sliding Wear of the Hybrid Kevlar/PTFE Fabric Reinforced Phenolic Composite Filled with Nano-titania

The Kevlar/polytetrafluroethylene（Kevlar/PTFE） fabric composite can be used as a self-lubricating liner of the self-lubricating bearing.Many types of nano-particles can improve the tribological performance of the polymer-based composite.Unfortunately,up to now,published work on the effect of nano-particles on the tribological performance of the fabric composite which can be used as a self-lubricating liner is quite scarce.Therefore,for the purpose of exploring a way to significantly improve the tribological performance of the fabric composite,the tribological performance of the Kevlar/PTFE fabric composite filled with nano-titania is evaluated by using the block-on-ring wear tester.The scanning electron microscopy is utilized to observe the morphologies of worn surfaces of the fabric composites and the counterparts.The tensile properties of the composites are evaluated on the universal material testing machine.The test results show that the addition of nano-titania at a proper mass fraction of the matrix resin improves the wear resistance and the tensile strength,decreases the friction coefficient,and makes the wear volume of the composite reach a relative steady state more quickly;plastic deformation and microcutting are important for the wear of the fabric composite;a lubricating layer is formed on the worn surface of the composite during sliding,and the lubricating layer is critical for the tribological performance of the composite;the formation and properties of the lubricating layer are influenced by the nano-titania particles.The proposed study on the effect of nano-titania on the tribological performance of the Kevlar/PTFE fabric composite,especially on the evolution of the worn surface of the composite,provides the basis for further understanding of the influence mechanism of the nano-particles on the tribological performance of the composite and explores a method of improving the tribological performance of the composite.

A comparison of nano-titania with two other commonly used inorganic nanoparticles, nano-silica and nano-alumina, is made, revealing that reactivity order is nano- silica 〉 nano-alumina 〉 nano-titania in view of PEG grafting. Possible mechanism of PEG grafting is also discussed.

Structure transition of nano-titania during calcination

In order to study the structure transition during calcination, nano-titania powders prepared by hydrolyzing precipitation approach and calcined at 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 ℃ were characterized by XRD, TEM and electron diffraction(ED), respectively. The results show that titania powders calcined below 500 ℃ are almost composed of anatase, rutile appears below 500 ℃ and its ratio increases gradually with increase of calcin temperature; nano-titania particles are smaller than 40 nm mostly and the dispersion is related to calcining temperature; the inter-planar distances of nano-anatase single crystalline change gradually when calcing temperature increases to 500 ℃; so do that of nano-rutile single crystalline when calcining temperature charges from 600 to 700 ℃. The conclusions can be drawn that the temperature of transformation from anatase to rutile is below 500 ℃ and the process carries on gradually. Both inter-planar distances and the structure of nano-titania transform gradually with increasing calcing temperature.

Preparation and Characterization of Fe^(3+)-doped Nanometer TiO_2 Photocatalysts

Fe^3＋ -doped nanometer TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared by sol-gel technique. TiO2 powders with different Fe^3＋ / Ti^4 ＋ molar ratios ranging from 0. 05% to 25% were synthesized by calcinating the gels in the temperature range of 200-600 ℃ . The effects of the content of iron ions and calcination temperature on the physical properties of the powders and their photocatalytic activities were examined by the photodecorapositon of methyl orange in sunlight. The results show that Fe dopant can decrease the temperature of nanatase-ratile transformation. The ideal photocatalytic property was achieved when the sample with an Fe^3＋ / Ti^4＋ ratio of 20 at% was calcined at about 300 ℃ for an hour, which is superior to that of commercial Degussa P-25. The optimum microstructure of the Fe-doped TiO2 for a high photocatalytic activity in sunlight is consisted of nanatase and ratile.

Increased photo-catalytic removal of sulfur using titania/MWCNT composite

Titania coating of multi wall carbon nano tube(MWCNT) was carried out by sol-gel method in order to improve its photo catalytic properties.The effect of MWCNT/TiO_2 mass to volume ratio on adsorption ability,reaction rate and photo-catalytic removal efficiency of dibenzothiophene(DBT) from n-hexane solution was investigated using a 9 W UV lamp.The results show that the addition of nanotubes improves the photo-catalytic properties of TiO_2 by two factors;however,the DBT removal rate versus MWCNT content is found to follow a bimodal pattern.Two factors are observed to affect the removal rate of DBT and produce two optimum values for MWCNT content.First,large quantities of MWCNTs prevent light absorption by the solution and decrease removal efficiency.By contrast,a low dosage of MWCNT causes recombination of the electron holes,which also decreases the DBT removal rate.The optimum MWCNT contents in the composite are found to be 0.25 g and 0.75 g MWCNT per 80 m L of sol.

Effect of Nano - Titanium Dioxide with Different Antibiotics against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

The different investigation has been carried out on the biological activities of titanium dioxide nanoparticle but the effect of this nano product on the antibacterial activity of different antibiotics has not been yet demonstrated. In this study the nano size TiO2 is synthesized using citric acid and alpha dextrose and the enhancement effect of TiO2 nanoparticle on the antibacterial activity of different antibiotics was evaluated against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). During the present study, different concentrations of nano-scale TiO2 were tested to find out the best concentration that can have the most effective antibacterial property against the MRSA culture. Disk diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity of these antibiotics in the absence and presence of sub inhibitory concentration of TiO2 nano particle. A clinical isolate of MRSA, isolated from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was used as test strain. In the presence of sub-inhibitory concentration of TiO2 nanoparticle (20 μg/disc) the antibacterial activities of all antibiotics have been increased against test strain with minimum 2 mm to maximum 10mm. The highest increase in inhibitory zone for MRSA was observed against pencillin G and amikacin (each 10 mm). Conversely, in case of nalidixic acid, TiO2 nanoparticle showed a Synergic effect on the antibacterial activity of this antibiotic against test strain. These results signify that the TiO2 nanoparticle potentate the antimicrobial action of beta lactums, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, macrolids and lincosamides, tetracycline a possible utilization of nano compound in combination effect against MRSA.

The biodiesel prepared from Xanthoceras Sorbiflia Bunge Oil catalyzed by Ce doped nano PO_4^(3-)/ZrO_2 was investigated. A maximum biodiesel yield of 91.83% was achieved at the concentration of Ce^(3+) up to 0.1 mol/L, calcination temperature 500 °C, calcination time 3.0 h, and the concentration of phosphoric acid of 3.5 mol/L.

The delayed crystallization of ZrO_2 made surface oxides have more defects which were beneficial to the adsorption of PO_4^(3-) by the concentration increment of Ce^(3+). The chemical composition of synthesized biodiesel was confirmed by gas chromatography(GC). The characteristics of Xanthoceras Sorbiflia Bunge oil were found within the optimal range in accordance with Chinese No. 0 diesel standard as a substitute diesel fuel.

Biotemplate Assisted Nano Titania and Its Environmental Performance

Environmental sustainability apart from spoken at different levels needs to investigate the management of industrial activities in terms of eco-friendliness. It is well known that effluents from various industries become a major source of environmental degradation in particular water pollution. Thus water analysis report turns to be more significant, to determine the quality and standard of life maintained in a typical ecosystem. This study includes the analysis of physico-chemical factors of raw as well as treated water samples from Korattur Lake employing nano sized adsorbents like titania with tuned structural and morphological properties through organic plant extract. The XRD analysis, BET analysis, DRS-UV analysis, SEM and TEM analysis have been carried out and reported. The marked influence of leaf extract as a template is reflected in reduced crystallite size (12.4 nm) with maximum surface area 105 m2/g along with bathochromic shift of absorption edge. The usual indicators of contamination level at a given source namely Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD-85%), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD-94.5%), Dissolved Oxygen (88%), Total Suspended Solids (TSS-75.6%), Electrical Conductivity (74.5%), Chloride (89%), Nitrate and Phosphate contents etc. were used to ascertain the efficiency of contaminants removal using tea leaf extract mediated nano titania. The reliability factor of the treatment process was found to be less than 1, revealed the effectiveness and reliability of nano material.

Effects of Yb ^(3+)-Doping on Phase Transformation and Photocatalytic Activities of TiO_2 Nano-Powders

Yb 3+-doped TiO_2 composite nano-particles were prepared by the acid-catalyzed sol-gel method using Ti(OC_4H_9)_4 and Yb(NO_3)_3 as precursors. The effects of the amount of Yb 3+ doping and calcination temperature on the phase transformation, crystallite size, surface texture of the nanopowders were investigated by XRD and BET specific surface area. Their photocatalytic activities were evaluated using the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution as a probe reaction. At the interface, titanium ions substitute for ytterbium ions in the lattice of Yb_2O_3 to form Ti-O-Yb bonds, which cause distortion and inhibit the anatase to rutile phase transformation in TiO_2. The results indicate that Yb 3+-doping can enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO_2 nano-powders as compared with pure TiO_2. 0.125%(mass fraction) Yb 3+ doped TiO_2 nano-powders calcined at 600 ℃ for 2 h show the highest photocatalytic activity. The increase in photoactivity is due to the effects of the factors such as crystal phase, crystallite size, surface chemical property, surface density of OH groups, and surface texture properties of the TiO_2 nano-powders.

Photoluminescence Properties and Photoactivities of N-doped TiO_2 Nano-powders with Oxygen Vacancies

In order to study the effect mechanism of N-doping on the visible-light photoactivity of TiO2,N-doped and un-doped TiO2 nano-powders were prepared by an acid-catalyzed sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),electron spin resonance(ESR),UV-Vis diffuse reflection spectra(DRS),and photoluminescence spectra(PL)techniques.Their photoactivities are evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue(MB)in aqueous solution under UV light and visible-light irradiation,respectively.The results reveal that the as-prepared N-doped sample with single anatase exhibits a good visible-light photoactivity,whereas its UV photoactivity decreases slightly,compared with the un-doped sample.The N-doping increases surface hydroxyl groups and forms abundant oxygen vacancies bounding single electrons.The visible-light response of the N-doped sample can be ascribed to a synergetic effect of impurity energy levels due to the substitutional N-doping and defect energy levels owing to the formation of oxygen vacancies.The separation of the photo-generated electron and hole can be promoted by the increase in both oxygen vacancies and surface hydroxyl groups,which are conducive for enhancement of photoactivity.The increase in visible-light photoactivity of the N-doped sample is related with the decrease in its PL spectral intensity in visible-light region.
