Tube length-assisted optimized aerosol trapping
, Article Optics Communications ; Vol. 329, issue , 2014 , pp. 196-199 ; ISSN: 00304018 ; Sadeghi, M ; Madadi, E ; S. Reihani, S. N ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Trapping a single aerosol using optical tweezers could be of great importance for environmental sciences. Though a single nanoparticle as small as 10 nm is successfully trapped in aqueous media using optical tweezers, due to spherical aberration only large clusters of nanoparticles were stably trapped in air. In this paper we provide our theoretical and experimental results on optimized trapping of aerosols as small as 400 nm in radius by the introduction of an extra spherical aberration source in order to minimize the total spherical aberration of the system. Our method allows for trapping of high refractive index particles such as polystyrene beads in air. It also provides considerably...

Abstract
The current work deals with modification of the surface of a silica-polyamine with amine-based ionic liquid (IL) and its application for removal of Cu2+ from an aqueous media. The absorbent is simply prepared from commercially available reagents. The material is characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), N2 adsorption-desorption, and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). Effects of several parameters on absorption efficiency, as well as activity of the absorbent to other metals, are also investigated. Moreover, the reusability of the absorbent is studied at the optimized condition. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016
Enhancing the Stability of Cesium-based Perovskite Quantum Dots Using Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8)for Optical Applications and Medical Imaging
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Simchi, Abdolreza (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this work, encapsulating cesium-based perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was investigated in order to enhance their environmental, water and thermal stabilities. It was shown that physical mixing of pre-synthesized PQDs and nanocrystalline ZIF-8 (structure-I) does not have any influence on stability enhancement. In second structure, nanocrystals of perovskite were crystalized in ZIF-8 pores. These nanostructures kept 50% of their initial photoluminescence after 24 hours maintenance in water. In third structure, both perovskite nanoparticles and ZIF-8 structures were crystalized simultaneously which resulted in more efficient encapsulation and kept...
Pd(OAc)2 without added ligand as an active catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck reaction in aqueous media

Abstract
Conditions for an efficient ligand-free Heck C-C coupling reaction of aryl iodides and bromides with terminal olefins under aerobic conditions have been developed. Critical to the success of this new protocol is the use of palladium acetate as an extremely active catalyst for the Heck reaction in water and aqueous media. Both the base and the solvent were found to have a fundamental influence on the efficiency of the reaction, with K2CO3 and a mixture of (2:1) H2O/DMSO being the optimal base and solvent, respectively

Abstract
Flow over nano spheres is a fundamental problem encountered in many engineering technical problems and the motion of nano-particles is important in many technical areas, for example nano-organizms motion in aqueous media, super hydrophobic spray for coating materials, nano-capsules for detecting cancer, and additive nano-particles in oil and fuel for automotive engines. In this paper computations are performed to determine the steady flow forces acting on the stationary nano-tube for Reynolds numbers in the range of 0.1

Abstract
A series of UiO-66/polyaniline (UiO-66/PANI) nanohybrids with various UiO-66 to aniline weight ratios ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 was synthesized using an in situ polymerization technique. The adsorption behavior of the neat PANI nanofiber network and the synthesized nanohybrids was examined toward anionic methyl orange (MO) dye from aqueous media. It was realized that the maximum adsorption capacity of PANI (229 mg/g) increases steadily by increasing the UiO-66 content in the nanohybrid up to 7 wt % at 426 mg/g, and then, it approximately levels off at 432 mg/g for the nanohybrid sample containing 10 wt % UiO-66, that is, UP10. Based on a thorough characterization, it was shown that UiO-66 is...

Abstract
Scandium is a rare earth element that is not very abundant on Earth, however in recent years due to the employment of scandium in various high-tech fields the interest in the analytical chemistry of this metal is growing. Currently, the methods for scandium quantification are mainly based on inductively coupled plasma atomic emission and mass-spectrometry and to the best of our knowledge no potentiometric sensors for scandium detection were reported so far. This study is devoted to the development of simple and cost-effective ion-selective sensors for quantification of Sc3+ in aqueous media. Employing the variety of lipophilic ligands suggested in liquid extraction for separation of...

Abstract
Investigations have shown the traces of antibiotics in surface water, groundwater, wastewater treatment plants, and drinking water. However, conventional wastewater treatment is not entirely effective for vancomycin degradation. Advanced oxidation is one of the most widespread methods of antibiotic degradation in aqueous media. Vancomycin was quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to explore and optimise the effect of the independent variables on vancomycin degradation. Independent variables were as follows: pH (3–11), vancomycin concentration (15–75 mg/L), TiO2–clinoptilolite (25–125 mg in...
