This work studied the pseudocapacitive behavior of Fe3O4 and examined approaches to improve its electrochemical activity. Our results show that by optimizing the electrode architectures, we were able to construct ternary Fe3O4/CNTs/PANI composites that delivered excellent electroactivity and cyclic stability because o…
The shell thickness and composition of CdSe–Cd x Zn 1– x S core–shell quantum dots (QDs) are defining parameters for the efficiency of such materials as light emitters. In this work we present a detailed study into the optical absorption and fluorescence properties of CdSe–CdS, CdSe–Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S, and CdSe–ZnS QDs a…
This paper addresses the detection and localization of partial discharge (PD) in crossbonded (CB) high voltage (HV) cables. A great deal has been published in recent years on PD based cable insulation condition monitoring, diagnostics and localization in medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) cables. The topic of p…
Much effort has been made to study the formation mechanisms of photocurrents in graphene and reduced graphene oxide films under visible and near-infrared light irradiation. A built-in field and photo-thermal electrons have been applied to explain the experiments. However, much less attention has been paid to clarifyin…
The oiling out crystallization of a pharmaceutical compound API-T dissolved in acetone/water was conducted using a 100 mL crystallizer, and the effect of oil droplets on the resulting crystal size was investigated. The size of oil droplets was controlled by varying agitation speed, and the resulting crystal size decre…
A study of biocompatibility and corrosion of both metallic magnesium (Mg) and a magnesium alloy containing 1% calcium (Mg–Ca) were investigated in in vitro culture conditions with and without the presence of bone marrow derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Chemical analysis of the degraded samples was perform…
The rapid degradation of magnesium (Mg) based alloys has prevented their further use in orthopedic trauma fixation and vascular intervention, and therefore it is essential to investigate the corrosion mechanism for improving the corrosion resistance of these alloys. In this work, the effect of applied voltage on the s…
We present for the first time the synthesis of Eu(3+)-doped β-phase sodium gadolinium fluoride (NaGdF4:Eu) nanocrystals (NCs) using a hydrothermal method and the application of down conversion (DC) NaGdF4:Eu NCs to efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The as-prepared NaGdF4:Eu(3+) NCs were characterized by X-…
Over the last decade major advances have been made in the treatment of cancer such as breast and leukaemia. However, no satisfactory progress has been made in the effective treatment of pancreatic cancer. Treatment of this disease is hindered by resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy and impaired drug delivery afte…
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) has been covalently functionalized with porphyrin moieties by two methods: A straightforward Prato reaction (i.e. a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition) with sarcosine and a formyl-containing porphyrin, and a stepwise method that involves a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to the RGO surface using 4-hydrox…
Nearly monodispersed Ag3PO4 nanocrystals with size of 10 nm were prepared through a colloidal chemical route. It was proven that the synthesized Ag3PO4 nanoparticles have intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity. They can quickly catalyze oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3, 3, 5, 5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)…
Inductors find widespread use in various applications. Inductors with a large tunability of inductance and quality factor would lead to new paradigm on circuit designs. In this paper, we investigated the effect of ferromagnetic layer thickness on the performance of a magnetoelectric tunable inductor. Using chemical et…
Sisal fiber is an important agricultural product used in the manufacture of ropes, rugs and also as a reinforcement of polymeric or cement-based composites. However, during the fiber production process a large amount of residues is generated which currently have a low potential for commercial use. The aim of this stud…
Polyimide nano-composite film (Kapton 100CR) is a special type of engineering plastic film, which is widely used in turn insulation of form-wound inverter-fed motor. Partial discharge (PD) caused by high-frequency surge impulse is one of the key factors leading to premature failure of turn insulation of inverter-fed m…
Nanoformulations (NF) are widely explored as potential alternatives for traditional ophthalmic formulation approaches. The effective treatment of ocular diseases using conventional eye drops is often hampered by factors such as: physiological barriers, rapid elimination, protein binding, and enzymatic drug degradation…
Magnesium alloys have, in recent years, been recognized as highly promising biodegradable materials, especially for vascular stent applications. Forming of magnesium alloys into high-precision thin-wall tubes has however presented a technological barrier in the fabrication of vascular stents, because of the poor worka…
A novel poly-lactic acid (PLA) based biocomposite reinforced with unidirectional high-strength magnesium alloy (Mg-alloy) wires for bone fracture fixation was fabricated by hot-compressing process. The macroscopical and microscopical impact behaviors of the biocomposite were investigated using impact experiments and f…
The strip-casting technique plays an important role in fabricating high coercivity sintered magnet. In this paper, we investigate the phase constitution and the microstructure of rapidly solidified Ce—Fe—B alloy fabricated by strip-casting. We find that the Ce 2 Fe 14 B phase coexists with Fe, Fe 2 B, and CeFe 2 phase…
Ultrathin free-standing Janus films were fabricated at air-water interfaces using azopyridine derivatives and poly(acrylic acid) via multi-level self-assembly on molecular and microscopic scales, which showed distinct asymmetric water wetting abilities on different surfaces.
The influence of the microstructure on mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the Mg–1.21Li–1.12Ca–1Y alloy was investigated using OM, SEM, XRD, EPMA, EDS, tensile tests and corrosion measurements. The results demonstrated that the microstructure of the Mg–1.21Li–1.12Ca–1Y alloy was characterized by α-Mg subs…
