Dust Explosion Characteristics of Agglomerated 35 nm and 100 nm Aluminum Particles by Hong-Chun Wu, Hsin-Jung Ou, Deng-Jr Peng, Hsiao-Chi Hsiao, Chung-Yun Gau, Tung-Sheng Shih

“…From an analysis of the explosive residue, the study found that nanoparticles of 35 nm Al powder became filamentous strands after an explosion, where most of 100 nm Al nanoparticles maintained a spherical structure, This may be because the initial melting temperature of 35 nm Al is 435.71°C, while that for 100 nm Al is 523.58°C, higher by 87.87°C. …”

Synthesizing Iron Atom Doped Carbon Nanotubes by Elguja R Kutelia, Ayten S Bakhtiyarova, Sayavur I Bakhtiyarov

“…One of the main challenges in synthesizing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based iron cluster-doped carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites is achieving uniform doping without causing aggregation or phase separation of the iron clusters, which can adversely affect the material’s properties. Iron nanoparticles tend to agglomerate due to their strong magnetic interactions and high surface energy, resulting in inhomogeneous doping that diminishes the effectiveness of the composite in applications like electromagnetic shielding, catalysis, or energy storage. …”
