The development of new materials with improved features requires the use of nanocomposite materials and polymer blends. Their special combination provides enhanced performance in a range of environmental, biomedical, and industrial applications. Using the traditional casting procedure, the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/poly acrylic acid (PAA) polymer blend doped with silicon carbide (SiC)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites was successfully created. Nanocomposites (NPs) were evenly distributed over the polymer mix matrix, and the polymer blend was well dispersed in the solution, according to the optical microscopy image. The films’ surface morphology of the polymer blend exhibits a homogeneous grain distribution, according to FE-SEM examination. The generated materials do not include any new functional groups, according to the FTIR analysis, indicating that just a physical interaction has taken place. It was observed from the study of optical properties that the increase in SiC/MWCNTs nanoparticles led to enhancement of all optical features, such as absorbance, refractive index, optical conductivity, real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant, while transmittance and energy gaps were decreased. The energy gap decreased from 4.8 eV to 3.82 eV for the allowed transition, and from 4 eV to 3.02 eV for the forbidden transition. These results reveal that PVA/PAA doped SiC/MWCNTs films can be utilized in a variety of advanced applications. © 2025 by the authors.

FeCo binary alloys with high saturation magnetization have been envisioned as the most promising compounds in the fabrication of solid-state devices, including hard drives. Forming multilayered nanowires (MNWs) of these alloys would allow for ultra-high density data storage by reversing spins in the 3D space. However, thorough experimental investigations into the angular magnetic properties of FeCo/Cu MNWs have not been performed yet. Here, we first electrochemically deposit FeCo/Cu MNWs into nanopores of anodic alumina membranes using a pulse method, and then comprehensively investigate their angular magnetic properties using a vibrating sample magnetometer equipped with first-order reversal curve (FORC) software. We also change the Cu layer length (LCu) in the range of 3‒20 nm while keeping the FeCo layer length constant to 180 nm, and measure hysteresis loops and FORC diagrams for 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°. We observe that the coercivity continuously increases with increasing θ from 0° to 45° when LCu ≤ 12 nm, and that it remains nearly constant for LCu = 20. For all LCu values, the angular dependence of hysteresis loop coercivity shows sharp reductions with increasing θ over 45°, especially for θ ≥ 70°. These events are accompanied with the appearance of perceptible single vortex states in the angular FORC diagrams and significant enhancements in magnetostatic interactions between the FeCo layers. Our evaluations based on the angular dependence of FORC coercivity peaks indicate that the magnetization reversal of the FeCo/Cu MNWs is dominated by a vortex mode, monotonically increasing the coercive field to above 3000 Oe at θ = 82.5° for the lowest LCu. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.

Due to the poor thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs), the operation of Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) is restricted by the limited heat exchange rate between PCMs and heat sources or sinks. The current review discusses the effects of magnetic field, rotation, tilt angle, and vibration on the discharging and charging heat performance of PCMs and nano-enhanced PCMs (NEPCMs) which are encapsulated in various container geometries and orientations based on melting and solidification standpoints. From this review, it is concluded that the orientation and design of the heat exchanger has a significant effect on the melting/solidification performance. The melting and solidification performance have been improved by increasing the magnetic number and decreasing the Hartmann number. Moreover, rotating cavity in a counter direction of buoyancy flow has improved the melting rate/time. The optimum tilting angle varies depending on the thickness of PCM layers. In terms of the vibration effect, frequency and amplitude/frequency are found to have an important role at low and high discharge rates, respectively. Following a comprehensive review, a few suggestions are provided as future research topic in this field. © 2023

Although phase change materials are significant for heat storage, the fundamental issue with energy storage is their poor heat conductivity. Three scenarios have been widely provided to enhance the discharging efficiency of a triplex-tube heat storage unit: the first uses fins, the second uses nanoparticles, and the third use both fins and nanoparticles. This paper's primary goal is to introduce a thorough evaluation of the state-of-the-art research on solidification enhancement of phase change materials in a triplex-tube thermal energy storage system, as well as a summary of employing fins, nanoparticles, and both fins and nanoparticles. This study examines several more factors that influence the solidification enhancement of phase change materials (PCMs). These variables include the effect of employing various fin geometries, the temperature of the thermal fluid, heat exchanger length and pipes' diameters, the velocity of the coolant, the length and thickness of fins, fins' intensity, and the geometries of PCM units. Discussions centre on findings and recommendations from earlier research. According to the outcome of this work, the solidification enhancement of PCM suggests plans for further research initiatives. © 2023

The amino acid histidine is an important bioactive molecule for growth and tissue repair and has an influential role as a neurotransmitter in the human musculoskeletal and central nervous systems. Therefore, excessive deficiency of this amino acid and the proteins induced by it causes many diseases. For this reason, the specific and sensitive detection of the amino acid histidine is very important. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a sensitive method for detecting low concentrations of various substances, especially biomaterials. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-coated substrates were employed in the present investigation to detect the amino acid histidine to control the diseases caused by it. First, a chemical method named Tollens was applied to fabricate AgNPs, and then, the Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates were coated with AgNPs by applying voltage and through the electrodeposition technique. Therefore, AgNPs were fabricated using the Tollens method, as well as the size distribution of nanoparticles was specified as being equal to 130–150 nm by employing dynamic light scattering. Moreover, UV–Vis spectroscopy was employed for the characterization of prepared substrates and AgNPs. The results show that the plasmonic peak tends toward longer wavelengths following the self-array of AgNPs. In addition, it was proved by the field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) images that AgNPs on the surface of FTO substrates were distributed non-uniformly. The limit of detection (LOD) was equal to 10−9 for SERS-active substrates for the purpose of detecting this amino acid. Moreover, for ten repeated calculations, the mean relative standard deviation (RSD) was achieved to be 3.86%. Furthermore, the values for the enhancement factor were obtained to be 1.344 × 105 and 1.389 × 105 via experimental and simulation methods, respectively. Thus, the results obtained from Raman indicate that by applying the developed methods, SERS-active substrates coated with AgNPs for the detection of amino acid histidine show advantageous results for SERS-based investigations and can cause the development of nanosensors. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

The technique of phase change thermal storage is an effective solution to overcoming the problem of a mismatch between the supply of energy and the demand for it. In this work, a numerical investigation of the influence of an air bubble placement on the paraffin wax melting (PCM) inside of a rectangular cavity is described. The PCM refers to the melting of paraffin wax. In order to conduct a numerical investigation of the research, the enthalpy-porosity combination (the ANSYS / FLUENT 16 program) is used. For the purpose of this experiment, phase change materials for paraffin wax are being used (RT58). As a result of examining several locations of the air bubble (top, center, and bottom) in the rectangular cavity, this paper investigates the influence of air bubbles on the dissolution process and heat transfer. Additionally, the paper investigates the influence of air bubbles on the amount of time that it takes for paraffin wax to melt. When compared to the presence of air bubbles in the center, the presence of air bubbles at the bottom and top of the solution has resulted in a 7% reduction in the amount of time needed to complete the process of dissolution. It has been shown that the presence of air bubbles naturally advances the dissolving process, and it has also been demonstrated that the dissolution process will be accelerated when it is known that the volume of PCMs is greater since it includes the volume of air bubbles © 2023,Mathematical Modelling of Engineering Problems.

Polymeric nanocomposites have drawn a lot of interest when it comes to innovative materials because of their enhanced optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. These materials have a high rising modulus, are flame resistant, and may also halt oxidation and agglomeration. These improvements in properties are related to interactions between nanoparticles and polymers. The addition of nanoparticles to polymers prolongs their life, changes their surface via passivation defect levels, and provides low cost, simple device manufacture, as well as adjustable electrical and optical properties. This study examines the properties and potential uses of nanofluids made from inorganic nanostructures doped with PEG. The results demonstrate that when the concentration of ZrO2/SiC NPs increased to 12wt%, the electrical conductivity of nanofluids increased by roughly 43.6%. Additionally, when the concentration of ZrO2/SiC nanoparticles increases, the melting time reduces. Additionally, when the concentration of ZrO2/SiC NPs increases from 3 weight percent to 12 weight percent within 15 minutes, the growth of melting time reaches 51.2%, and the absorbance increases by approximately 80.3% while transmittance decreases by about 82.5%. © A.

Heat is transferred to the storage medium during the charging phase of thermal energy storage (TES), and then released during the discharging phase. It may be used for industrial operations like metallurgical transformations or solar power facilities. Heat is stored in materials that alter temperature, phase, or chemical composition in sensible, latent, and thermochemical media, respectively. Optimal heat storage has a long history. This study investigates the optical and electrical properties of MgO/SiC-H2O nanofluids for applications including thermal energy storage. Results indicate that when MgO/SiC NP concentrations were raised to 1.2 gm/L, absorbance rose by approximately 66.9% and transmittance by about 54%. Additionally, the increase in MgO/SiC NP concentration will raise absorbance, which indicates improved nanofluid dispersion. Additionally, when MgO/SiC nanoparticle concentrations approach 1.2 gm/L, the electrical conductivity of nanofluids increases by roughly 49.2%, and the melting time reduces as the concentration of MgO/SiC nanoparticles rises. © F.L.

FeCo/Cu multilayer NW arrays are fabricated using a pulsed electrodeposition method in 50 nm pore diameter anodic aluminum oxide templates. The magnetic layer (LFeCo) and nonmagnetic layer (LCu) thicknesses range between 23–225 and 2–50 nm, respectively. These layer designations make it possible to find a thin Cu layer, in which the magnetic behavior of multilayer NWs is similar to that of alloy NWs. A threshold LCu is also obtained, representing dual behavior of the coercive field in FeCo/Cu multilayer NWs. These behaviors, in turn, are associated with an increase in magnetizing and demagnetizing interactions, as evidenced by hysteresis curve and first-order reversal curve experiments. By extracting magnetic parameters such as the average coercive field, irreversible coercive field, magnetostatic interaction distribution, and reversibility, the magnetic behavior of FeCo/Cu multilayer NWs is comprehensively explored as a function of LFeCo. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

FeNi/Cu multilayer nanowire arrays were first electrochemically deposited in nanopores of alumina membranes by a single-bath pulse method, and then their magnetic behavior was investigated by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) instrument equipped with first-order reversal curve (FORC) software. The Cu deposition pulse time varied from 2.4 to 9.6 s at a constant FeNi pulse time of 2.88 s, and hysteresis curves and FORC diagrams of the resultant nanowires were extracted at magnetic field angles in the range of 0° <0< 90°. At each 9< 90°, the results of VSM hysteresis curves showed that coercivity and remanence ratio decreased with increasing the pulse time. Furthermore, magnetostatic interaction field distributions were enhanced at each 0 when decreasing the pulse time. This enhancement was ascribed to the lower separation of the ferromagnetic FeNi layers along the nanowire length, influencing the magnetostatic interactions. The vanation of FORC coercivity as a function of 0 revealed the dominance of the vortex domain wall mode in the magnetic behavior, regardless of the Cu pulse time.Abstract. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..

The absorption of UV waves is improved while the transmittance is reduced when Cr2O3 NPs were added to the polymeric system which are useful for a number of applications including low-cost UV protection and solar radiation shield. When Cr2O3 NPs concentrations increased, the optical energy gap for indirect transition (allowed and forbidden) was decreased. Furthermore, all the optical constant has been improved. © 2022 Lavoisier. All rights reserved.

Incompressible fluid flow research uses lid-driven cavity as a benchmark issue to measure computer simulation accuracy. Flow within a hollow includes recirculation, turbulence, eddies, instability, impingement, flow separation, attachment with walls (moving and stationary), fluid entrapment in the recirculation area, and other fluid flow phenomena. In this article, forced convection in a lid-driven square cavity with a sliding top wall and hemispherical obstruction is mathematically illustrated. This chamber filled with Newtonian fluid was exposed to a moving wall (5, 10, 15, and 20 m/s), as selected in the literature. The finite volume technique using the SIMPLER algorithm is used to solve the complete governing equations with the Boussinesq approximation, whereas the analytical approach uses the parallel flow assumption. The moving wall disrupts the cavity's flow field, according to the results. Also, moving wall produces great mixing between the flow field below it and the hollow. The static pressure fluctuates from 0.6 m to 1 m (contact with the moving wall). Also, dynamic pressure increases linearly until 0.7 m, then decreases linearly until 1 (contact with the moving wall). In addition, the inner surface's velocity varies randomly along the location while the others remain constant. © 2022,Mathematical Modelling of Engineering Problems.All Rights Reserved.

From fast magnetic memories with low-power consumption to recording media with high densities, realizing the magnetization reversal and interaction of magnetic layers would allow for manipulating the ultimate properties. Here, we use a pulsed electrochemical deposition technique in porous alumina templates (50 nm in pore diameter) to fabricate arrays of nanowires, consisting of FeNi layers (26-227 nm in thickness) with disk to rod-shaped morphologies separated by ultra-thin (3 nm) Cu layers. By acquiring hysteresis curves and first-order reversal curves (FORCs) of the multilayer nanowire arrays, we comprehensively investigate magnetization reversal properties and magnetostatic interactions of the layers at different field angles (0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°). These involve the extraction of several parameters, including hysteresis curve coercivity (H c Hyst ), FORC coercivity (H c FORC ), interaction field distribution width (ΔH u ), and irreversible fraction of magnetization (IF m ) as a function of θ. We find relatively constant and continuously decreasing trends of H c Hyst when 0° ≤ θ ≤ 45°, and 45° < θ ≤ 90°, respectively. Meanwhile, angular dependence of H c FORC and IF m shows continuously increasing and decreasing trends, irrespective of the FeNi layer morphology. Our FORC results indicate the magnetization reversal properties of the FeNi/Cu nanowires are accompanied with vortex domain wall and single vortex modes, especially at high field angles. The rod-shaped layers also induce maximum ΔH u during the reversal process, owing to enhancements in both magnetizing and demagnetizing-type magnetostatic interactions. © 2022 IOP Publishing Ltd.
