Nanomaterials often act as a double sword. On the one hand they offer exceptional new
properties, but on the other hand show signs of toxicity. High aspect ratio nanomaterials …

Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting reviews the vast
improvements in technology and application of thermoelectric energy with a specific …

Highly crystalline and thermally stable pure multi-walled Ni 3 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 nanotubes with
a layered structure have been synthesized in water at a relatively low temperature of 200 …

Comprising two volumes, Thermoelectrics and Its Energy Harvesting reviews the dramatic
improvements in technology and application of thermoelectric energy with a specific …

This paper reports a complete set of TG, DTG, and DTA data, coupled with emitted gas
analysis, for well-constrained, almost pure serpentine samples. Serpentine dehydroxylation …

Raman spectroscopy of clay minerals has received less attention than infrared (IR)
spectroscopy in the past, generally due to the weakness of the Raman scattered signal …

By chemical dispersing and acid leaching, silica nanowires have been prepared from the
natural mineral, chrysotile. X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis …

Inorganic nanostructures and their assemblies play important roles in immobilizing
biomolecules. Herein, we developed a facile and green methodology to assemble natural …

The study assessed the possibility of using waste glass cullet from the screen part of CRTs
(cathode ray tube) in the vitrification of asbestos-cement materials (ACM). The composition …

Asbestos shares with carbon nanotubes some morphological and physico-chemical
features. An asbestos-like behaviour has been recently reported by some authors, though …
