Figure C.2. Photograph of the supercritical fluid system used for nanoparticle synthesis. Shown is the 300-mL high-pressure reactor (A), with pressure/temperature controllers (B). The system is rated for safe operation at temperatures and pressures below 200°C and 10,000psi, respectively. The vessel may be slowly vented, or exposed to a dynamic CO2 flow, using a multiturn restrictor valve (C), which provides a sensitive control over system depressurization, allowing for the collection of C02-solvated species in the stainless steel collector (D). For deposition using the rapid expansion of tlie supercritical solution (RESS), nanoparticles were blown onto a TEM grid that was placed under the stopcock below D. Also shown is the cosolvent addition pump (E) used for the synthesis of aluminum oxide nanoparticles, capable of delivering liquids into the chamber against a back-pressure of <5,000 psi.

Transmission electron microscope ( ) images of such n-Al powders indicate the presence of a thin passivation layer of aluminum oxide (A1203) which provides stability to it in the air. Without this layer, A1 nanoparticles would be pyrophoric and also have tendency to agglomerate to form bulk A1 metal. In order to protect this n-Al powder further, some researchers have suggested its coating with self-assembled nanolayers using perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid [90].

Nanoparticles of iron and aluminum oxides and oxyhydroxides transport both organic and inorganic contaminants in the environment. The systematics developed here may be applied to understanding such natural nanocomposites. For example, it may be possible to treat coating of amorphous uranium or chromium oxides on nanophase (Fe, Al)OOH particles as a mixture of nanophase end-members from the point of view of energetics. 

A review of the literature showed that the nanoparticles used in the production of nanofluids were aluminum oxide (AI2O3), titanium dioxide (Ti02), nitride ceramics (AIN, SiN), carbide ceramics (SiC, TiC), copper (Cu), copper oxide (CuO), gold (Au), silver (Ag), silica (Si02) nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNT). The base fluids used were water, oil, acetone, decene and ethylene glycol. Modem technology allows the fabrication of materials at the nanometer scale, they are usually available in the market under different particle sizes and purity conditions. They exhibit... 

It has been reported that single or mixed metal oxide nanoparticles, such as zinc oxide, copper oxide, aluminum oxide, or titanium oxide, incorporated into a filtration medium containing a binder matrix, can destroy bacteria (57). The metal oxide nanocrystals are included in amounts ranging from approximately 0.1 % up to about 10% by weight, based on the entire filtration medium. In a series of studies, it has been shown... 

Figure 21.6 TEM images of different nanomaterials with a variety of sizes, shapes, and particle interactions. The upper images show high aspect ratio nanomaterials, including aluminum oxide whiskers (a) and iron oxide rods and tubes (b). The lower images show spherical particles, including iron (c) and titanium oxide highly agglomerated nanoparticles (d).

The second hierarchical level of the nanostructure (1—4nm) can be a rather complicated stmcture. It stabilizes the nanosized carrier by modifying the surface with biocompatible coverage (polyacrylamide, silica, hydroxyapatite, titanium, or aluminum oxide, etc.). The presence of a modifying layer retains a high specific surface of the nanoparticles and allows the necessary chemical functionalization, for example, with hydroxyl, carboxyl, thiol, and amino groups.
