Cloots, Nanosphere lithography and hydrothermal growth: How to increase the surface area and control reversible wetting properties of ZnO nanowire arrays? Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2012. 22(33): 17086-17093.P. Colson, A. Schrijnemakers, B. Vertruyen, C. Henrist, and R. Cloots, "...
The extensively small sizes of nanoparticles give high surface area to volume ratio and as a result, more and more water molecules can surround the particles and the solubility of hydrophobic compound is enhanced [56]. Several nano-vesicles can be used to enhance the solubility such as micelles...
Heterogenous catalysts usually consist of metallic catalyst nanoparticles on a support, such as an oxide. Due to their small size, nanoparticles have an ideal surface-to-volume ratio and can maximize the catalyst component’s surface area. This is useful as all catalysis occurs at the surface of...
A range of factors such as solvent type, temperature, time, surface-area-to-volume ratio and agitation conditions affect the extraction process. The optimum conditions are a function of the nature of the sample, the type of extraction which is preferred, and the analytical methods which will ...
What problems would a cell with a small surface-to-volume ratio have? Explain resting potential, what it is, and how a cell maintains it. Describe the structure and function of human cell organelles. Why is the citric acid cycle called a cycle? What substances enter the cycle, and what ...
hydrocarbons that did not fully break down can take on any shade of gray or brown. Thus, a fire that produces significant visible smoke is a fire that is undergoing incomplete combustion. To correct this condition, it is necessary to increase its temperature, the availability of oxygen, or ...
Travel by public transport increases the risk of being exposed to the virus, and the increase in private vehicles has exacerbated urban traffic congestion. In Shanghai, China, the passenger flow of the metro during the COVID-19 period (February 2020) was 27% that of the corresponding period ...
Surface-area : volume ratio is 2:1If you imagine these are simple cubic warm-blooded animals, then the small cube has 3 times the surface area per unit of volume compared to the large cube.If each of these are both warmer than the outside temperature, the small cube will cool down muc...
Besides their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, they are attractive for their high resistance when exposed to corrosive environments, owing to the oxide barriers formed on their surface. These films are very dense and only a few nanometers thick, while their bond to the bulk metal beneath is...
They related this effect to the fact that mixtures reduce light competition for the height-dominant species and increase light competition for the height-dominated species. Other functional traits related to light competition or integrative of several processes, in particular specific leaf area (SLA) ...
