Abstract The objective of this study was to design new, functional, nanostructured materials from the abundant clay mineral kaolinite, in spite of development problems with the interlayer chemistry of kaolinite because of its non-swelling properties. A particular goal of this work was to graft, in a controlled way, al…

We have investigated how the exchange bias and coercive field of NiFe/BiFeO3 bilayers on (001)SrTiO3 is affected by changes in substrate temperature, oxygen pressure, and film thickness for BiFeO3 deposition. Our results suggest that the exchange bias and the coercive field are mainly dependent on the roughness at the…

The representative volume element (RVE) plays a central role in efforts to predict the effective thermo-physical and transport properties of heterogeneous materials. A quantitative definition of its size is proposed in this work. It is shown that RVE depends on the morphological or physical property being investigated…

Abstract Mg‐Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) with a Mg/Fe molar ratio of 3:1 was synthesized by using a coprecipitation method and the sorption removal of Pb(II) by the LDH sample from Pb(NO 3 ) 2 solution was investigated. It was found that Mg‐Fe LDH showed a good sorption ability for Pb(II) from Pb(NO 3 ) 2 solutio…

The use of drug cocktails has become a widely adopted strategy in clinical cancer therapy. Cytotoxic drug cocktails are often administered based on maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each agent, with the belief of achieving maximum cell kill through tolerable toxicity level. Yet, MTD administration may not have fully cap…
