Abstract Doped zirconium oxide nanoparticles [ZrO2]NPs in the [PEG–H2O] and [TiO2]NPs in the [PEG–H2O/ZrO2]C matrices to fabricated the [PEG–H2O/ZrO2+TiO2]h hybrid nanofluid films by a sol–gel method, the average crystallite size is 100 ± 5 nm. The nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid thin films are studied using combined experimental and DFT theoretical method (DMOl3), including FTIR spectrum and optical properties. Mathematically, Higher rate of reactions of rotating [PEG/H2O–ZrO2]m, and [PEG–H2O/ZrO2+TiO2]h nanofluids on an extending sheet is considered with thermal radiation and heat source. The numerical Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg of 4–5th order (RKF45) method is used to solve the issue. The results specifically determine that Δ E g Opt ${\Delta}{E}_{g}^{\text{Opt}}$ values decrease from 2.27 eV for [PEG–H2O/ZrO2]m mono nanofluid to 1.596 eV for [PEG–H2O/ZrO2+TiO2]h hybrid nanofluid using the DFT computations HOMO and LUMO calculation. This result concluded that the [PEG–H2O/ZrO2]m transformed from semiconductor to [PEG–H2O/ZrO2+TiO2]h as a superconductor hybrid nanofluid by addition [TiO2]NPs. The hybrid nanoparticles have a higher influence than nanoparticles on the velocity distributions.

Introduction: The utilization of biodiesel as an alternative fuel is turning out to be progressively famous these days because of worldwide energy deficiency. The enthusiasm for utilizing Jatropha as a non-edible oil feedstock is quickly developing. The performance of the base catalyzed methanolysis reaction could be improved by a continuous process through a microreactor in view of the high mass transfer coefficient of this technique. Materials & Methods: Nanozirconium tungstovanadate, which was synthetized using sol-gel preparation method, was utilized in a complementary step for biodiesel production process. The prepared material has an average diameter of 0.066 &µm. Results: First, the NaOH catalyzed methanolysis of Jatropha oil was investigated in a continuous microreactor, and the efficient mixing over different mixers and its impact on the biodiesel yield were studied under varied conditions. Second, the effect of adding the nanocatalyst as a second stage was investigated. Conclusion: The maximum percentage of produced methyl esters from Jatropha oil was 98.1% using a methanol/Jatropha oil molar ratio of 11 within 94 s using 1% NaOH at 60 &°C. The same maximum conversion ratio was recorded with the nanocatalyst via only 0.3% NaOH.

Aluminum oxide is one of the most commonly used materials in the industry. It is used in the field of catalysis, refractories, and optics. Despite the fact that there are many techniques available, there is still a great challenge in obtaining a material with desired and designed properties. Nevertheless, there is a great flexibility in making customized alumina materials with desired physicochemical properties synthesized by sol–gel methods. This work consists in characterizing the physicochemical properties of sol–gel synthesized aluminum oxide using different sol–gel preparation routes. Three different sols were obtained by using organic precursors and underwent thermal treatment. The structure (Middle Infrared Spectroscopy, Diffused Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and microstructure (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy) tests of the materials were carried out. The specific surface area was determined by using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method. Thermal analysis was performed for all the powders, in order to analyze the specific temperature of materials transformation.

Based on the analysis of recent publications of scientific and technical literature, data on the production of zirconium oxide fibers used for the manufacture of high-temperature thermal insulation materials are presented. Information is provided on various methods of obtaining zirconium oxide fibers (methods of impregnation of the template and molding of the mixture, sol-gel method of spinning a fiber-forming precursor solution), as well as on the technique of fiber molding (manual pulling, dry and wet spinning, blowing and electrospinning). The use of such fibers for the production of thermal insulation materials (felts, cords and blocks) instead of currently existing materials made of aluminum oxide-based fibers can significantly increase the operating temperatures of the thermal protection systems.

A sol-gel method has been developed to prepare pure yttrium aluminum garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG), and rare-earth substituted (Ce-Y3Al5O12, Nd-Y3Al5O12 Ho-Y3Al5O12, and Er-Y3Al5O12) samples. The XRD patterns of the polycrystalline powders sintered at 1000 ?C showed the formation of monophasic garnet materials. The micro-structural features in the polycristalline samples were studied by scanning electron microscopy. A homogeneous distribution of rare-earth do pants in the YAG lattice was achieved in all of the cases. Electrical conductivity measurements were also performed on the compacts of sol-gel derived Ln-YAG samples. In contrast to the expected dielectric behavior, the conducting properties of the examined specimens indicate metallic behavior with the resistivity increasing gradually with increasing temperature.

The aim of this study was the fabrication using a sol-gel technique of a new glass-ceramic with potential use in dental applications. The characterization of the composition and microstructural properties of the produced material confirmed the similarity between the new sol-gel derived glass-ceramic and a commercial leucite based fluorapatite dental glass-ceramic. The produced material has potential application in dental restorations and it is expected to exhibit better control of composition, microstructure and properties due to the intrinsic advantages of the sol-gel preparation method.
