        In this study, hollow structures of CuAl2O4 were prepared by using a simple hydrothermal method and carbon sphere as a hard template. The double shell hollow structures of CuAl2O4 were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The catalytic performance of this hollow nanostructure was evaluated for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives via the one pot cycloaddition reaction of benzyl halides, alkyl halides or epoxides with sodium azide and phenyl acetylene. Various factors such as the effect of solvent and different amounts of catalyst on the reaction efficiency were discussed. A variety of epoxides, benzyl or alkyl halides was used to afford the corresponding 1,2,3-triazole derivatives under the optimal reaction condition (Water/EtOH(1:1), 80°C, 10 min, 2 mol% of catalyst). The hollow structures of CuAl2O4 catalyst was readily removed from the reaction mixture by filtration and reused for five times without significant loss of catalytic activity. Manuscript profile

        In this study, magnetic nanoparticles modified with DABCO-PDO ionic liquid were used to preconcentration and determination of trace amount of Pb(II) in aqueous samples using a flame atomic absorption instrument. Experimental factors affecting Pb(II) extraction and preconcentration were investigated and optimized. The calibration curve for Pb(II) was linear under the optimum condition in the concentration range of 0.8-1.6 µg l-1 with the determination coefficient of 0.9986. The concentration factor of Pb(II) was 100 with the detection limit of 0.25 µg l-1. The relative standard deviations (RSD %) for the concentration of the method were 1.8 and 2.5, respectively, with 4 successive replications in one day and between days. Lead determination was successfully applied for aqueous samples (rainwater in Tehran, tap water in Shahrak Gharb, Tehran, and mineral water). Recoveries in the ranges 90.6-97.8 was reported. Structure and morphology of the synthesized nanosorbent were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD).  Manuscript profile

        In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was reduced using inexpensive and environmentally friendly methods on the copper substrate. These methods included constant potential and cyclic voltammetry. In the cyclic voltammetry method, GO was deposited on the copper substrate and reduced. In the constant potential method, GO was firstly deposited by a drop cast and then reduced by constant potential method. Electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. In this study, the results showed that the constant potential method was the best method for the electrochemical reducing of GO. In this way, most functional groups had been reduced. In addition, a high density of the defects and wrinkling of the sheets was observed. The Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test also proved that most of the conductivity belonged to the GO reduced by the constant potential method. Consequently, the method can replace chemical methods for the reducing of GO and eliminate the major weakness of chemical methods that use toxic substances. Manuscript profile

        In this way, the chlorine branches of poly (epichlorohydrin) (PECH) were substituted with 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one(NTO) and P(OH)2 were replaced and The inhibitory efficiency of these compounds for immersed steel in hydrochloric acid medium has been investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Elemental analyzer (CHN) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-visible were used to characterize the chemical composition of the synthesized organic compounds. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical polarization techniques were used to evaluate the corrosion inhibition performance of the organic inhibitors. The results of these studies showed that the sample containing NTO and P (OH)2 had the highest amount of corrosion inhibition.. Polarization results revealed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency in the inhibitor-containing samples was increased by increasing the concentration of the inhibitors in the corrosive electrolyte. Also, the results of the polarization test proved that these inhibitors acted as a mixed inhibitor in the acidic environment and by absorbing the steel surface in the corrosive environment, both the anode and cathode corrosion reactions were affected Manuscript profile

        In this research, at first, the graphene oxide sheets were prepared by the Hummers method and in continuation metformin molecule was linked to the edges of graphene oxide through the nucleophilic reaction of amine moieties of metformin with carbonyl groups of graphene oxide by covalent bonding, followed by coordination copper metal on nitrogen atoms of metformin and formation of graphene oxide copper-metformin complex. The prepared nanocatalyst was well characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, TGA and ICP-OES. All analyses confirmed the successful immobilization of this complex on the surface of GO. The synthesized catalyst was applied to evaluate its performance in the synthesis of tetrahydropyridine derivatives by the reaction of aryl aldehydes, aryl amines and ethyl acetoacetate which this method exhibited good catalytic efficiency with a high yield of products. Moreover, the suggested catalyst could be recycled for several times consecutive cycles without a noticeable decrease in its catalytic activity or metal leaching. Manuscript profile

        Viscosity is one of the most important properties of lubricants, which affect the processes of heat and mass transfer. The temperature and pressure dependence of the viscosity of lubricants are crucial for most industrial applications. In this work, available literature viscosity data of synthetic lubricants including aliphatic polyol esters on a wide pressure and temperature range used to study the pressure and temperature dependence of the viscosity. The experimental values were correlated with two linear equations, as a function of temperature and pressure. These simple and accurate linear equations provide reliable extrapolation of viscosity data for studied lubricants. Based on these correlations, the pressure and temperature viscosity coefficients ( and ) have been determined for these fluids. For studied lubricants, values decrease as the temperature or pressure increase. The  coefficient decreases with the temperature and increases with the pressure. The values of  and  are dependent on the size and the degree of branching of the molecules. For the studied polyol esters, it has been observed that the  and  increase with the size of the molecule. The values of  and  are also increase with the branching of the chains of aliphatic polyol esters. In addition, our recent proposed equation is used to represent both the temperature and pressure dependence of the viscosity and demonstrated good correlation with the experimental data.

        This research, reports the fabrication of a new pH-responsive nanocarrier based on iron oxide nanoparticle with dendrimer coating and PEG conjugated for targeted and controlled delivery of chemotherapy drugs to cancer cells. The structure of the nanocarrier was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra analysis. transmission electron microscope (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis showed that the nanocarrier has a spherical structure with super paramagnetic properties. The efficiency of nanocarrier was evaluated with cyclophosphamide chemotherapy drug. The in vitro drug release studies at different pH proved the pH-sensitivity of the nanocarrier. Due to the open state of dendritic structure in acidic pH, the maximum release observed at pH 4.5 (lysosomal pH). Mass transfer studies showed that drug release from nanocarrier is rapid in short contact time and slow in long contact time. These results indicate that cyclophosphamide-loaded magnetic nanocarrier is promising for targeted delivery and controlled drug release. Manuscript profile

        In this research, at first, the metal organic framework (MIL-101) was synthesized characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A highly sensitive electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on MIL-101 (a metal-organic framework) modified carbon paste electrode and used for determination of losartan. The electrochemical behavior of losartan was studied with cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. The modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation losartan in phosphate buffer (pH=8). Determination of losartan by differential pulse voltammetry method showed that there are two linear relationships between losartan concentration and anodic peak current in the range of 1 to 10 and 10 to 200 μM with a detection limit of 0.7 µM. The effect of possible interferences on the voltammetric response of losartan was investigated. Finally, the modified electrode was used for determination of losartan in pharmaceutical and biological samples. The results showed the high ability for analysis of this drug in real samples.

        In this study, nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was used as a green and biodegradable material for the synthesis of copper magnetic nanocomposites without the addition of an external reducing agent or toxic solvents. Initially, nanofibrillated cellulose was magnetized for easy separation using iron chlorides in ammonia medium, then used as a substrate and reducing agent for the formation of copper nanoparticles. The structure of the nanocomposite was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The effect of nanocomposite drying methods such as freeze-drying and ambient temperature on catalytic activity was also studied. The results showed that the recyclable magnetic nanocatalyst Fe3O4@NFC/Cu in comparison with other reported catalysts had significant catalytic activity in degradation of three organic dyes (methyl orange, methylene blue, and 4-nitrophenol) with rate constants of 35.1×10-2 s-1 1.48×10-2 s-1 and 5.41×10-2 s-1, respectively. Also, this catalyst was recovered and used 4 times without significant loss of activity. Manuscript profile
