Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Clay/Chitosan Bionanocomposites by UV-Irradiation MethodMansor Bin Ahmad, Kamyar Shameli, Majid Darroudi et al.Problem statement: Silver/Montmorillonite/Chitosan Bionanocomposites (Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs) have been synthesized by UV-irradiation reduction method in the absence of any reducing agent or heat treatment which is used to antibacterial application and medical devices. Approach: MMT, Chitosan and AgNO3 were used as a solid support, stabilizer and silver precursor, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs were studied as a function of UV-irradiation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Clay Nanocomposites by Chemical Reduction MethodMansor Bin Ahmad, Kamyar Shameli, Majid Darroudi et al.Problem statement: Silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been synthesized by using chemical reduction method into the interlayer space of a Montmorillonite (MMT) as a solid support which is used to antibacterial application and polymer nanocomposites for fabrication of medical devices. Approach: AgNO3 and NaBH4 were used as a silver precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT nanocomposites were studied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,169 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Brief Review of the Latest Advances of Attapulgite as a Reinforcing Agent in Polymer Matrix NanocompositesThais Ferreira da Silva, Gabriel Portilho Monteiro de Souza, Guilherme Ferreira de Melo Morgado et al.The development of polymeric nanocomposites using clay minerals as a Nano filler is of great interest to researchers and industry. Many clay minerals are used to modify the properties of the polymers; this strategy improves the thermal and mechanical performance and changes the surface finishing and the processing characteristics. The Attapulgite (ATP), which is a clay mineral of the hydrated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2021 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Strength Development in Stabilized Soil with CBR Plus and Silica SandSeyedesmaeil Mousavi, Aliakbar KaramvandThis paper investigates the potential use of a nano polymer stabilizer, namely CBR PLUS for stabilization of soft clay and formulation of an optimal mix design of stabilized soil with CBR PLUS and silica sand. The highway settlements induced by the soft clay are problematic due to serious damages in the form of cracks and deformation. With respect to this, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsINFLUENCE OF INCUBATION PERIOD, TEMPERATURE AND DIFFERENT PHOSPHATE LEVELS ON PHOSPHATE ADSORPTION IN SOILA. Rajput, Q. A. Panhwar, U. A. Naher et al.Phosphorus (P) is the most important element after nitrogen but P sorption properties are poorly documented in many soils. In this study, P sorption capacity in relation to incubation period and temperature under various P levels were determined for two different soil series (Rustam and Miani). Phosphorus was added at 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Feb 2014 · 8,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPyritization of the Coastal Sediments in the Kelantan Plains in the Malay Peninsula during the HoloceneM.S.K. Enio, J. Shamshuddin, C.I. Fauziah, M.H.A. HusniProblem statement: For a number of geological reasons a proportion of the present coastal plains in the Malay Peninsula were inundated by seawater in the past when pyrite in some of the soils is believed to have been mineralized. Random survey of these sites showed a unique distribution and depth of pyritic layer in the soils along the coastal plains. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAutomated Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) Pheromone Trap Based on Machine LearningSimon H. Chiwamba, Jackson Phiri, Philip O.Y. Nkunika et al.Maize is the main food crop that meets the nutritional needs of both humans and livestock in the sub-Saharan African region. Maize crop has in the recent past been threatened by the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E Smith) which has caused considerable maize yield losses in the region. Controlling this pest requires knowledge on the time, location and extent of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 19 Dec 2019 · 8,364 accessesView PDFCite
