Chromium oxide nanoparticles with controlled size prepared from hydrothermal chromium oxyhydroxide precursors
2017
Abstract This work reports the preparation of morphologically well-defined chromium oxide nanoparticles with controlled sizes of 20–30 nm. The synthetic procedure encompass two stages, the first one refers to the preparation of chromium oxyhydroxide nanoparticles by a hydrothermal approach of previously precipitated xerogels, followed by a thermal transformation of CrOOH nanoparticles to Cr2O3. The series of chromium oxyhydroxide particles sized over the range 15–50 nm were prepared through the control of the pH of precipitation of the xerogels and the water/xerogel ratio of the hydrothermal aging. Results showed the formation of non-aggregated oxyhydroxide nanoparticles with two different …
Influence of reactive element oxide coatings on the high temperature cyclic oxidation of chromia-forming steels
2003
Abstract The beneficial effects of reactive element oxide coatings, Y2O3, Nd2O3 and Yb2O3, on the cyclic oxidation behaviour of a Fe–30Cr model alloy, were studied at 950 °C in air under atmospheric pressure. The oxide scale grown on uncoated samples started to spall after 2 cycles, because of its poor adherence. The coated specimens remarkably resisted to the thermal shocks, since no oxide scale spallation or cracks could be observed, even after 1000 h of cycling experiments. The surface oxide scale consisted of facetted oxide grains on the uncoated samples. On the contrary, it exhibited a fine-grained structure on the coated specimens. The reactive element beneficial effect was ascribed t…
Candida albicans biofilms on different materials for manufacturing implant abutments and prostheses
2019
[EN] Background: Morphological, physical and chemical properties of both implants and prostheses can determine the biofilm formation on their surface and increase the risk of biological complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of biofilm formation of Candida albicans on different materials used to manufacture abutments and prostheses. Material and Methods: Biofilm formation was analyzed on cp grade II titanium, cobalt-chromium alloy and zirconia, silicone, acrylic resin (polymethylmethacrylate) and nano-hybrid composite. Some samples were partially covered with lithium disilicate glass ceramic to study specifically the junction areas. C. albicans was incubated in a …
Tailoring magnetic properties of electrodeposited thin films of the molecule-based magnet Cr5.5(CN)12 11.5H2O
2012
This paper reports on molecular-based magnetic thin films of Prussian blue analogues (PBA) with high critical temperatures composed of mixed-valence chromium cyanides. The thin films of PBA were synthesized by means of electrodeposition technique. Morphology and magnetic study are presented in a function of electrochemical deposition conditions. We present the electrochemical methods as a promising and effective tool for preparing molecular-based magnetic thin films of Prussian blue analogue.

Cover Picture: Direct CH Metalation with Chromium(II) and Iron(II): Transition-Metal Host / Benzenediide Guest Magnetic Inverse-Crown Complexes (Ang…
2009
Chromation and ferration are the latest additions to the concept of alkali-metal-mediated metalation, as described by J. Klett, R. E. Mulvey, and co-workers in their Communication on page 3317 ff. While the more electropositive sodium is essential for the reaction, it is the less electropositive chromium or iron that actually performs deprotonation of benzene. This novel reactivity can be likened to a game of chess in which the queen (Na) holds the king in check, while the knight (Cr, Fe) scores checkm(etal)ate.
PETTERDITE, THE Cr-DOMINANT ANALOGUE OF DUNDASITE, A NEW MINERAL SPECIES FROM DUNDAS, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA AND CALLENBERG, SAXONY, GERMANY
2000
Petterdite is a newly discovered hydrated lead chromium hydroxyl carbonate, the Cr 3+ -dominant analogue of dundasite, with a formula PbCr 2 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 4 ·H 2 O. The type locality is the Red Lead mine, on the Zeehan–Dundas mining field in northwestern Tasmania, Australia. The mineral also occurs in small amounts at the Callenberg nickel deposit, Saxony, Germany. Petterdite forms thin crusts made up of tiny platy crystals up to about 15 μm across, associated with crocoite and anglesite at the type locality, and with crocoite, cerussite, bindheimite, pyromorphite, and relict galena at Callenberg. The petterdite crusts are pale greyish to pinkish violet and non-fluorescent; they have an ea…
Insertion of a single-molecule magnet inside a ferromagnetic lattice based on a 3D bimetallic oxalate network: Towards molecular analogues of permane…
2014
The insertion of the single-molecule magnet (SMM) [MnIII(salen) (H2O)]2 2+ (salen2-=N,N-ethylenebis- (salicylideneiminate)) into a ferromagnetic bimetallic oxalate network affords the hybrid compound [MnIII(salen)(H2O)] 2[MnIICrIII(ox)3] 2×(CH3OH)×(CH3CN)2 (1). This cationic Mn2 cluster templates the growth of crystals formed by an unusual achiral 3D oxalate network. The magnetic properties of this hybrid magnet are compared with those of the analogous compounds [Mn III(salen)(H2O)]2[ZnIICr III(ox)3]2×(CH3OH) ×(CH3CN)2 (2) and [InIII(sal 2-trien)][MnIICrIII(ox)3] ×(H2O)0.25×(CH3OH) 0.25×(CH3CN)0.25 (3), which are used as reference compounds. In 2 it has been shown that the magnetic isolatio…
Ni-Cr based dental alloys; Ni release, corrosion and biological evaluation.
2011
Abstract In the last years the dental alloy market has undergone dramatic changes for reasons of economy and biocompatibility. Nickel based alloys have become widely used substitute for the much more expensive precious metal alloys. In Europe the prevalence of nickel allergy is 10–15% for female adults and 1–3% for male adults. Despite the restrictions imposed by the EU for the protection of the general population in contact dermatitis, the use of Ni–Cr dental alloys is on the increase. Some questions have to be faced regarding the safety risk of nickel contained in dental alloys. We have collected based on many EU markets, 8 Ni–Cr dental alloys. Microstructure characterization, corrosion r…
