Gold nanoparticles may be used in different domains, one of most important being the biomedical field. They have suitable properties for controlled drug delivery, cancer treatment, biomedical imaging, diagnosis and many others, due to their excellent compatibility with the human organism, low toxicity and tunable stab…
The corrosion behavior of Mg, AZ31 and AZ91 has been evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution using weight loss, electrochemical polarization and impedance measurements. Corrosion rate derived from the weight losses demonstrated the occurrence of steeply fast corrosion reaction on AZ91 alloy after three hours of immersion, ind…
Agricultural residues management is considered to be a vital strategy in order to accomplish resource conservation and to maintain the quality of the environment. In recent years, biofibers have attracted increasing interest due to their wide applications in food packaging and in the biomedical sciences. These eco-fri…
Antibacterial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) has received significant interest worldwide particularly by the implementation of nanotechnology to synthesize particles in the nanometer region. Many microorganisms exist in the range from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers. ZnO-NPs exhibit attra…
Abstract In this study, polymers of substitute aromatic amine compounds were synthesized by chemical oxidative polycondensation in aqueous alkaline medium using NaOCl as oxidant. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by FT‐IR, UV‐Vis and NMR analyses. The characterizations of synthesized compounds wer…
We study the dynamics of inorganic antiferroelectric nanoclusters formed during an order-disorder transition and demonstrate the coexistence of the two phases in a region of 2--3 K around the transition temperature ${T}_{N}\ensuremath{\sim}215$ K. Single crystals of ${\mathrm{NH}}_{4}{\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\mathrm{AsO}}_{4}…
Combining conventional and inverse magnetocaloric materials promises to enhance solid state refrigeration. As a first step here we present epitaxial Ni–Mn–Ga/Ni–Mn–Sn bilayer films. We examine the dependence of the lateral and normal lattice constants on the deposition sequence by combining experimental and ab initio…
Mg‐Al layered double hydroxides (Mg‐Al LDHs) were used as an adsorbent for hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) removal. Removal efficiency of H 2 S by the Mg‐Al LDH has been investigated at different temperatures and humidity. The results have shown Mg‐Al LDH to be highly promising as an adsorbent for H 2 S removal. Research res…
Conductive needle punched nonwoven fabrics are developed from staple polypropylene (PP) and varying weight fractions (10, 20 and 30 wt.%) of staple carbon fibres. A fibrous webs of staple PP and carbon fibres were formed at a wool-type carding machine, and these webs subsequently bonded on needle punching machine with…
Co–Mn–Ge is a system of interest for magnetocaloric applications as a solid state magnetic refrigerant. A thin film materials library covering a large fraction of the Co–Mn–Ge ternary composition space was fabricated by sputter deposition. After deposition, it was annealed at 600 °C for 3 h and quenched subsequently.…
A precise representation of the structure factor of a wormlike chain for the arbitrary chain flexibility in an orientational external field is obtained by virtue of the numerical solution to the modified diffusion equation satisfied by the Green's function. The model is built from a standard wormlike chain formalism i…
The synthesis of a water-soluble polyglycerol dendrimer with two orthogonal functional groups at the core is reported. The two groups, an azide and amine group, are highly reactive towards alkyne and activated ester moieties, respectively. The orthogonality of the two chemical reactions is demonstrated by the ability…
Currently available methods for synthesis of polymeric nanocapsules only offer limited control over the shell thickness, even though it is an important parameter for various applications. Furthermore, suitable methods to critically measure this parameter in a facile way are still nonexistent. Here, lab-scale small-ang…
Time dependent density functional tight binding (TDDFTB) method is implemented with sparse matrix techniques and improved parallelization algorithms. The method is employed to calculate the optical properties of various Si nanocrystals (NCs). The calculated light absorption spectra of small Si NCs from TDDFTB were fou…
In order to modify the properties of poly(butylene succinate), poly(diethylene glycol succinate) (PDGS) segment was incorporated by chain-extension reaction of dihydroxyl-terminated PBS and PDGS precursors using hexamethylene diisocyanate as a chain extender to form PBS-b-PDGS multiblock copolymers. The chemical struc…
The non-dialysable proteins present in the latex of plant Calotropis procera possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of latex proteins (LP) on the level of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress markers and tissue histology in the rat model of carrageenan-…
In the medical device industry, angioplasty balloons have been widely used in the less invasive treatment of heart disease by expanding and relieving clogged structures in various arterial segments. However, new applications using thin coatings on the balloon surface have been explored to enhance therapeutic value in…
We present a method of direct patterning of plasmonic nanofeatures on glass that is fast, scalable, tunable, and accessible to a wide range of users-a unique combination in the context of current nanofabrication options for plasmonic devices. These benefits are made possible by the localized heating and subsequent ann…
The influence of Nd 3+ ions was investigated on the precipitation and optical properties of PbS quantum dots ( QD s) inside silicate glasses. The diameters of the PbS QD s decreased as the concentration of Nd 3+ in the glass increased as evidenced by blue shifts in the absorption and photoluminescence spectra. Electro…
We studied real-time motion of individual 20-nm silica nanoparticles in a thin layer of a nematic liquid crystal using a dark-field optical videomicroscopy. By tracking the positions of individual nanoparticles we observed that particle pair interactions are not only mediated by strong thermal fluctuations of the nema…
