    Abstract
    Nanocrystallization kinetics of amorphous Finemet alloy was studied using Vyazovkin advanced isoconversional method under non-isothermal condition. Well known Kissinger model-fitting method and four isoconversional methods of Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KSA), Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Tang, and Starink were also used for the determination of activation energy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were used for thermal and structural analyses, respectively. According to Vyazovkin and other isoconversional methods, the mean value of variable activation energy, as a function of conversion, was obtained as 350 kJ mol-1. While, according to Kissinger method,... 

    Synthesis and Characterization of Ni-Pd-0.1CNT/PU Nanocatalyst, Applicable for Methane Reforming

    Abstract
    Influence of attachment of Multi Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) on various nickel nanocatalysts produced by the electroless plating method was investigated via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements, Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) and Temperature Programmed Oxidation (TPO) tests. Application of TPR/TPO data to Kissinger (Redhead) Equation yielded the activation energies of both nickel reduction and nickel oxidation reactions. Addition of MWCNT improved the catalytic effects by easing of... 

    Thermal degradation behavior and kinetic analysis of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene based multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites prepared via in-situ polymerization

    Abstract
    Thermal degradation behavior of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) nanocomposites, with different nanotubes contents (0.5, 1.5 and 3.5 wt%) prepared via in-situ polymerization technique have been investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA spectra revealed that these nanocomposites had enhanced thermal stability and no significant mass loss (<0.4 wt%) occurred up to 350°C. Thermal degradation of these UHMWPE/MWCNT nanocomposites was investigated in terms of parameters such as the onset temperature of degradation (T 10), the decomposition temperature at 50% wt loss (T 50), the degradation temperature of maximum rate of the...
