Brief Description

Description :

Different morphology like nano cubes, hexagonal nano platelets, nano flowers etc. with particle size of approximately varies from 50 nm to 500 nm have been prepared. The compatibility of these nano powders has been checked with respect to micro structure, porosity, thermal expansion co-efficient and nano mechanical behavior of some of the important heritage buildings in West Bengal.
