    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Monjezi, Hossein (Author) ; Rashidian, Bijan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Porous thin films have becom very atractive due to their applications in many types of electronic and optical devices. There are several methods for deposition of such films. Chemical method for deposition of nanoporous thin films are relatively simple, but usually hard to control. In this thesis, chemical deposition of thin porous Molybden films is reported. In addition, an available sputtering system has been modified and, controlled porosity thin films were then deposited on glass and silicon substrates using GLAD method.These films have been characerized, and compared with chemically deposited porous thin films  

    Uranium Recovery From Liquid Waste of UCF Plant With Ion Exchange Resin Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Asadi, Zahra (Author) ; Samadfam, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Sepehrian, Hamid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    During the various stages of uranium processing in Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) in Isfahan, significant amounts of liquid waste stream is produced which is sent to evaporation ponds. In addition to environmental considerations, uranium recovery from existing pools is also economically feasible due to high concentration uranium in liquid waste. Several methods have been evolved over the years to remove dissolved uranium from uranium bearing solution. These methods are: chemical precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, ion exchange and membrane processes. The purpose of this study is recovery of uranium from liquid waste of Isfahan UCF plant by using ion exchange method. Although this...

    Synthesis of new Modified Composites Based on Nanoporous Materials and their Application in Environmental Pollutant Degradation

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zare Soheili, Hossein (Author) ; Gholami, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this projekt, nanophotocatalysts containing metal oxides and oxy-acids based on the nanoporous materials were synthesized. The photocatalytic properties of the prepared samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of day moleculs in photocatalytic systems. The catalytic results revealed that Ag3VO4/Cu-MOF/rGO exhibits noticeably an improvement in both efficiency and rate of AB92 photodegradation in comparison with the pure Ag3VO4. Using different scanning mechanisms for the catalytic properties of the synthesized nanocomposites, it was clearly demonstrated that the anionic superoxide plays a decisive role. Reduction of 4-NP in the presence of NaBH4 was also used to investigate... 

    Theoretical Analysis of Mechanical Properties for Metal Matrix Nanocomposites Reinforced by Carbon Nanotubes Using Nonlocal Elasticity

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Amini Niaki, Sina (Author) ; Naghdabadi, Reza (Supervisor) ; Sohrabpour, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Nanocomposites are fabricated by incorporating nano-scale particles in polymer, metal, or ceramic matrices. Metal matrix nanocomposites are a new kind of materials which have shown superior mechanical features, such as high strength, stiffness, and hardness. However, they are not sensitive to high temperature, in contrast to the polymer matrix nanocomposites. Nanoporous materials, also, have wide range of applications in different fields, such as geology, biology, biomechanics, and electronic. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have shown wonderful properties like high Young’s modulus, high resonance frequency and unique electrical behavior. Wonderful mechanical and electrical properties make CNTs... 

    Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Water Desalination Across Porous Single Layer Graphene Membrane

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Chogani, Alireza (Author) ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In recent years carbon nanotubes and other carbon nanostructures such as graphene sheets have attracted a lot of attention due to their unique mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. These structures can be used in desalination of sea water, removal of hazardous substances from water tanks, gases separation, and so on. The nano porous single layer graphene membranes are very efficient for desalinating water due to their very low thickness. In this study, the mechanism of passing water and salt ions through nano porous single-layer graphene membrane are simulated using classical molecular dynamics. In the simulation, in order to separate salt ions from the water, the effects of applied...

    Surface energy effects on the yield strength of nanoporous materials containing nanoscale cylindrical voids

    , Article Mechanics of Materials ; Volume 42, Issue 9 , September , 2010 , Pages 852-862 ; 01676636 (ISSN) Goudarzi, T ; Avazmohammadi, R ; Naghdabadi, R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Surfaces and interfaces behave differently from their bulk counterparts especially when the dimensions approach small scales. The recent studies have shown that the surface/interface free energy (surface stress) plays an important role in the effective mechanical properties of solids with nanosized inhomogeneities. In this work, within a micromechanical framework, the effect of surface stress is taken into account to obtain a macroscopic yield function for nanoporous materials containing cylindrical nanovoids. Gurtin-Murdoch model of surface elasticity is incorporated in the generalized self-consistent method to obtain a closed-form expression for the transverse shear modulus of transversely... 

    Effects of surface residual stress and surface elasticity on the overall yield surfaces of nanoporous materials with cylindrical nanovoids

    , Article Mechanics of Materials ; Volume 51 , 2012 , Pages 74-87 ; 01676636 (ISSN) Moshtaghin, A. F ; Naghdabadi, R ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier  2012
    Abstract
    Mechanical properties of a material near the surfaces and interfaces are different from those of the same material far from the surfaces/interfaces. The effect of this difference on the effective mechanical properties of heterogeneous materials becomes significant when the size of inhomogeneities is at the scale of nanometers. In this article, within a micromechanical framework, the effects of surface residual stress and surface elasticity are taken into account to obtain a macroscopic size-dependent yield function for nanoporous materials containing aligned cylindrical nanovoids. Based on the modified Hill's condition, the strains are decomposed into two parts, a part due to the external...

    Abstract
    Exploring bi-functional electrocatalysts with excellent activity, good durability, and cost-effectiveness for electrochemical hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) in the same electrolyte is a critical step towards a sustainable hydrogen economy. Three main features such as high density of active sites, improved charge transfer, and optimized electronic configuration have positive effects on the electrocatalyst activity. In this context, understanding structure–composition–property relationships and catalyst activity is very important and highly desirable. Herein, for the first time, we present the design and fabrication of novel MOF-derived ultra-small Ru/RuO2 nanoparticles...
