Properties of fish skin gelatin films incorporated with three essential oils from various sources (basil, plai and lemon) with a gelatin/essential oil ratio of 1:1 (w/w) were determined. Films containing different essential oils had lower tensile strength and elastic modulus, but higher elongation at break and thickne…
A highly porous polythiophene (PTh) nanofibers were synthesized by surfactant assisted dilute polymerization method using FeCl 3 as oxidant. They were confirmed by XRD and FTIR analysis. The surface morphology of PTh was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The prepared polythiophene nanofibers were subjected t…
Kaolinite is one of the most important industrial clay minerals, with a worldwide consumption in the millions of tons per year and applications in a wide range of industrial areas. Traditionally, its most important use has been in the paper and ceramic industries. New, innovative techniques are being developed that ar…
Porous cube-aggregated monodisperse Co3O4 microspheres and their supported gold (xAu/Co3O4 microsphere, x=1.6-7.4 wt %) nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated using the glycerol-assisted solvothermal and polyvinyl alcohol-protected reduction methods. Physicochemical properties of the materials were characterized by means…
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is becoming increasingly important due to the variety of its applications and multidisciplinary aspects. Applications such as water/air detoxification-disinfection, solar-energy storage, high-value-chemical production, optoelectronics, and sensors are some of the most promising. In recent…
Structural hierarchy and heterogeneity are inherent features in biological materials, but their significance in affecting the system behaviors is yet to be fully understood. In Sec. I, this article first identifies the major characteristics that manifest, or are resulted from, such hierarchy and heterogeneity in mater…
Preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out for methanolic extracts of Pterolobium hexapetalum (PH) and Celosia argentea (CA). Methanolic extracts of PH and CA were studied as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in industrial water medium using mass loss and electrochemical techniques. The adsorption of both P…
The corrosion inhibition ability of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF4-] and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [DMIM][BF4-] ionic liquids (ILs) on zinc surface in 1.0 M HCl at 30 - 50°C was investigated using gravimetric analysis and theoretical Density Functional Theory (DFT) approac…
Control of acoustical related phenomenon in environments, such as work place and residential homes, using various textile materials has gained paramount importance. Nonwoven fabrics in general are ideal acoustical insulator due to their high volume-to-mass ratio. This research examined acoustic characteristics of stru…
Electrical transport properties of electrospun cadmium titanate (CdTiO3) fibers have been investigated using ac and dc measurements. Air annealing of as spun fibers at 1000 °C yielded the single phase perovskite fibers having diameter ∼600 nm - 800 nm. Both the ac and dc electrical measurements were carried out at tem…
In this study quality changes of rainbow trout fillet wrapped with quince seed mucilage QSM film incorporated with 0–2% (V/V) thyme or oregano essential oil, as natural preservatives, during storage of 18 d at 4 °C were investigated. The control and wrapped fillet samples were analyzed for texture, lipid oxidation, an…
Partial discharge (PD) based condition monitoring has been widely applied to power cables. However, difficulties in interpretation of measurement results (location and criticality) remain to be tackled. This paper aims to develop further knowledge in PD signal propagation in power cables and attenuation by the PD moni…
Growth associated biosynthesis of medium chain length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) in Pseudomonas putida Bet001 isolated from palm oil mill effluent was studied. Models with substrate inhibition terms described well the kinetics of its growth. Selected fatty acids (C8:0 to C18:1) and ammonium were used as carbon…
Using ultra-high-frequency (UHF) method in practical partial discharge (PD) detection can be affected by the positioning and placement of the UHF sensor. This in turn can affect the PD diagnosis. To ensure optimal performance of the sensor and understand the propagation process of electromagnetic (EM) wave, there is a…
A new microsphere consisting of inorganic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and organic alginate (denoted as MSN@Alg) was successfully synthesized by air-dynamic atomization and applied to the intracellular drug delivery systems (DDS) of liver cancer cells with sustained release and specific targeting properties.…
Petroleum based mineral oils are generally used for electric power apparatus insulation and cooling applications. Since the conventionally used mineral oils are not biodegradable and difficult to decompose, there is a need for the development of alternate vegetable based insulation oils for such applications. Formatio…
The liver has been shown to be a primary target organ for SiO2 nanoparticles in vivo, and may be highly susceptible to damage by these nanoparticles. However, until now, research focusing on the potential toxic effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on mitochondria-associated energy metabolism in hepatocytes has been lacking.…
Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum compound incorporating oxalate and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane platinum, has been widely used in chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Because of its wide spectrum of antitumor activity, oxaliplatin has been applied for the treatment of other carci…
A new class of nicotinamide derivatives viz., N -((1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene)nicotinamide, N -((methyl(phenyl)amino)methylene)nicotinamide, N -nicotinoylbenzimidothioic acid and N -(4-(methylthio)benzylidene)nicotinamide have been synthesized and their corrosion inhibition effect on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl was investig…
