Abstract Controllable nanostructures in spin coated titanium oxide (TiO2) films have been achieved by a very simple means, through change of post deposition annealing temperature. Electron beam imaging and reciprocal space analysis revealed as-deposited TiO2films to be characterized by a dominant anatase phase which c…
AbstractThis study reports the surface roughness and nanomechanical characteristics of ZnO thin films deposited on the various substrates, obtained by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), nanoindentation and nanoscratch techniques. ZnO thin films are deposited on (a- and c-axis) sapphires and (0001) 6H-SiC substrat…
Abstract Thermosensitive nanocables consisting of Au nanowire cores and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) sheaths (denoted as Au/PNIPAAm) were synthesized by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). The formation of PNIPAAm sheath was verified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and hydrogen nuclea…
Abstract Nanocrystalline TiO2samples were prepared by promoting the growth of a sol–gel precursor, in the presence of water, under continuous (CW), or pulsed (PW) ultrasound. All the samples turned out to be made of both anatase and brookite polymorphs. Pulsed US treatments determine an increase in the sample surface…
Abstract This investigation deals with the effect of growth temperature on the microstructure, nitrogen content, and crystallinity of C–N nanotubes. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) study reveals that the atomic percentage of nitrogen content in nanotubes decreases with an increase in growth temperature. Tr…
Abstract Surface functionalized magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are a kind of novel functional materials, which have been widely used in the biotechnology and catalysis. This review focuses on the recent development and various strategies in preparation, structure, and magnetic properties of naked and surface…
The aim of this paper is to present the utilisation of a Solospun roller in the Sirospun spinning system in order to improve the properties of worsted wool/polyester yarns, especially the yarn hairiness. In this work, a Solospun roller was used and different worsted yarns (45% wool, 55% polyester) with a yarn linear d…
Investigations of hydrogen bonding in the poly(urethane-urea)-based membrane materials by using FTIR spectroscopy FTIR analysis was used to study the hydrogen bonding in 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane-based segmented poly(urethane-urea)s varying in the length of the poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO)-based soft segments.…
The development of self-healing metals is a novel idea that has not been explored in great detail yet. The concept of self-healing described in this paper consists of incorporating a low temperature melting alloy imbedded within a higher temperature alloy to create a self healing composite (SHC). When the SHC is damag…
For the last decade, many researchers have been working to develop self-healing materials, and have obtained good results in the field of polymers. The research described in this paper applies the concept of self healing to fabricate self healing metal matrix composites, with the aid of models developed by the authors…
This study reports the development of polyurethane-based microparticles and the influence of some processes variables on its characteristics. These microparticles were prepared by emulsion polymerization, using poly(caprolactone) diol (PCL) and poly(propylene glycol), tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate terminated (TDI) or poly…
Nine different face-to-face cut pile carpets were used for the investigation. The raw material of the carpet pile yarns was wool and polyamide blended yarns. The influence of the different structure parameters (carpet pile density and pile height) on the carpet properties was investigated. The deformations occurring i…
This study focuses on the effects of various spindle diameters and the spindle working period on the properties of 100% viscose MVS yarns. MVS yarn samples produced with four levels of spindle diameter, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 mm and five levels of the spindle working period: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 month, were evaluated on the basi…
In this paper, a general symmetry-based approach to the electrodynamics of a class of low-dimensional structures, carbon nanotubes, is proposed. The contribution of the microscopic configuration is handled using the symmetry group of the structure under consideration. An explicit form of the electromagnetic field is d…
Electrical resistivity of AlN ceramics was examined with various amounts of Y2O3 within 0 to 4.8 mass%. The electrical resistivity at room temperature varied from 1016 to 1010 Ω·cm with different Y2O3 amounts and at sintering temperatures. In the typical samples sintered at 1900°C, a smaller amount of Y2O3 addition wi…
Motivated by recent experimental observations of size quantization of electron energy levels in graphene quantum dots [7] we investigate the level statistics in the simplest tight-binding model for different dot shapes by computer simulation. The results are in a reasonable agreement with the experiment which confirms…
Structural models of yarn, plain weave fabrics, and plain weave fabric/resin composites were derived and theoretical formulas for the effective thermal conductivity were developed from these models. First the effective thermal conductivity of the transverse direction of the yarn was obtained by using the effective the…
Alloys 690 and 152 are the replacement materials of choice for Alloys 600 and 182, respectively. The latter two alloys are used as structural materials in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and have been found to undergo stress corrosion cracking (SCC). The objective of this work is to determine the crack growth rates…

The effect of relax…
Contractile dysfunction and cardiomyopathies secondary to apoptotic cell death are limiting factors for treating cancer with doxorubicin. Inhibition of volume-sensitive chloride currents (I(Cl,vol)) has been reported to blunt doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. To investigate cellular contractility during…
