The characteristics of the pigments were investigated by fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), reflectance spectrophotometer (RS) and electromagnetic transition instrument (ETI). FTIR spectra showed generation of Aluminium and clay complexes into the clay interlayer. TGA result demonstrated an improvement in thermal stability of clay-Al pigments compared with untreated particles. SEM and EDX results showed that the aluminium aggregates are presented on the surface of clay.

Structural information of CNTs, morphology and size distribution of catalysts were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that grain size of Co nano-particles and density and alignment of CNTs depend on thickness of Co film. Vertically aligned CNTs have been grown on 1 and 5 nm Co films and by increasing Co thickness to 7 and 10 nm, spaghetti-like structure of CNTs is observed. By increasing the growth time from 10 to 100 min, the density of spaghetti structure is increased, and results of this study show that Co poisoning and CNT burning occur for growth times more than 100 min. In absence of Al layer no CNT growth was observed and without carrier gas during ethanol feed into CVD chamber, low density of CNTs with spaghetti-like structure was seen.In this study, the effect of Co catalyst thickness, growth time, Al- blocking layer and carrier gas (Ar) on growth of CNTs upon Si substrate using ethanol as carbon source by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was investigated; the thickness of Co film and growth time were varied from 1 to 10 nm and 10 to 120 min respectively.

In this study, pure and iron doped titanium dioxide nanostructured coatings were prepared by spin-coating of polymeric precursor method. Prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The effect of iron addition on their photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation was investigated by the degradation of methyl orange. Results showed that for the nanostructured coating of pure titanium dioxide prepared by the above method, both anatase and rutile have been observed. While for iron doped nanostructured coatings the anatase phase has been stabilized and rutile phase has been completely excluded. Also, the addition of iron at concentrations less than 1 mole percent increases the TiO2 photocatalytic properties, while higher concentrations decrease the photocatalytic properties. These results are in good agreement wirh the predictions of the absorption edge data and X-ray diffraction pattern of samples. As a result it was found that the optimum amount of iron ions doped in nanostructured titanium dioxide coatings prepared by polymeric precursor spin coating method was determined to be 0.3 mole percent to achieve the best photocatalytic activity.Nanosized titanium dioxide has received much attention because of many applications in semiconductors, sensors, antibacterial and hygienic materials, photocatalysts and solar cells.

The epoxy-polyester resin can be cured and made cross links between chains at the mixing temperature; so it can affect the properties of the composite. The result of tensile and flexural tests revealed that introduction of epoxy-polyester resin increased tensile and flexural modulus but reduced mechanical strength as well as elongation at break. Also such a material decreased impact strength. On the other hand, epoxy-polyester resin reduced water absorption of the samples and consequently decline thickness swelling. Therefore, it reduced stresses which were produced by swelling as a result of water absorption in the sample and shrinkage after drying.To investigate the effect of epoxy-polyester resin on mechanical and physical properties of wood-plastic composite, polypropylene, wood flour and epoxy-polyester resin were mixed by an internal mixer and molded.

The experiments were done for five different dye initial concentrations (15, 30, 45, 60, 75 mg/L) at different contact times, temperature ranges 25-30°C (environmental temperature) and pH equal to 7. The results showed that removal percentage of AR14 dye was reduced with initial concentration of dye and contact time rising. The highest removal capacity was reported 64.5% in initial concentration of 15 mg/L. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isothermal models were investigated for this living species in different concentrations. Comparison of experimental results to models was illustrated that the process imitated from Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm. In addition, survey of pseudo-first and second order kinetics models presented that the bio-sorption process was compatible to pseudo-second order kinetics equation.In this study, bio-sorption of Acid Red 14 (AR14) dye has been investigated at 336 hours in a batch system by Azolla A.filiculodes species.

The scales were visually evaluated under a 45/0 illumination and observation geometry by means of a grey scale technique, and observers accuracy were calculated using appropriate statistical parameters. The results showed that there seems to be a noticeable difference between the visual assessment of orange peel in comparison with specular gloss and distinctness of image.
