In this study, nickel-doped diamond-like carbon (Ni-DLC) thin films were deposited on silicon (Si) substrates using a magnetron cosputtering system by varying DC power density applied to a Ni target at a fixed DC power density applied to a carbon (C) target. Their tribological properties were systematically investigat…

The gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a very useful prokaryotic model for testing the toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles (nano-ZnO). This toxicity is often linked to Zn(2+) released from nanoparticles in the culture medium, and nano-ZnO dissolution in different media is clearly established. Here, two mod…

Inorganic silica is widely used as nucleating agents for isotactic polypropylene (iPP), and to achieve a better effect, the amount of addition is generally higher than 5 wt%. A novel silica‐based nucleating agent (SPKSol) was prepared by two steps: aromatic phosphate (MDBP‐POOH) was first supported on the silica sol v…

Constructing a dense cross-linking layer on a polymer film surface is a good way to improve the water resistance of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). However, conventional plasma treatments have failed to achieve the aim as a result of the unavoidable surface damage arising from the charged species caused by the uncontrolled h…

Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death among Americans for which coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a standard surgical treatment. The success of CABG surgery is impaired by a compliance mismatch between vascular grafts and native vessels. Tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) have the pote…

A remarkably long-lived spin plasmon may exist in two-dimensional electron liquids with imbalanced spin-up and spin-down population. The predictions for this interesting mode by Agarwal et al. [Phys. Rev. B 90, 155409 (2014)] are based on the random phase approximation. Here, we show how to account for spin-dependent…
