Highlights

The modification of nanoparticles synthesized approaches and applications between multiple engineering technology is addressed in four manuscripts
Loryuenyong et al described the method to produce titania (TiO2) and controlled the porosity and particle size of TiO2 nanoparticles with different quantities of activated carbon. Their results showed that the specific surface area of TiO2 is increased with increasing activated carbon content
Zhang et al studied the effect of CeO2 powders on the defect of MgO-CaO refractories. Their results showed the addition of CeO2 increased the lattice constant of CaO, and the bulk density of the samples increased while apparent porosity decreased

Summary
