Nanoparticle (NP) uptake across the gut is poorly understood. In vitro gut sac preparations and isolated perfused intestines were used to investigate the absorption mechanism(s). Exposure of whole gut sacs to 1 mg/l TiO₂ NPs for 4 h caused total Ti metal concentrations to increase in the intestine, with 80% or more of…

Ultraviolet (UV) aging is one of the most important problems that electrical insulations are faced with it. Generally, total UV radiation emitted from the sun is divided into three parts. Among all types of ultraviolet radiation, UVChas the highest energy because its wavelength is less than 290 nm. Therefore, UVCis de…

Abstract Polychloroprene rubber (CR) is generally cured in a manner different from that of other diene rubbers. Compounding formulations based on metal oxides have been used satisfactorily for the crosslinking of CR, especially magnesium oxide (MgO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) at loadings of 4 and 5 phr, respectively. In thi…

Sizable single crystals of iron-based high-transition-temperature superconductors, BaFe 2 (As 1- x P x ) 2 , have been synthesized over an entire x range from 0 to 1. The employment of a Ba 2 As 3 /Ba 2 P 3 self-flux method enables us to grow large single crystals (∼7×7 mm 2 ) using a quartz tube, the P content of whi…

Carrier multiplication (CM) is the process in which absorption of a single photon produces multiple electron-hole pairs. Here, we evaluate the effect of particle shape on CM efficiency by conducting a comparative study of spherical nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) and elongated nanorods (NRs) of PbSe using a time-resol…

On integrating one-dimensional (1D) nanocrystals (nanowires) to useful devices, in this review article, we provide a background on vapor-based growth processes and how they impact device integration strategies. Successful integration of nanowires to devices and their scalability simply rely on where and how nanowires…

One of the backbones in nanomedicine is to deliver drugs specifically to unhealthy cells. Drug nanocarriers can cross physiological barriers and access different tissues, which after proper surface biofunctionalization can enhance cell specificity for cancer therapy. Recent developments have highlighted the potential…

The stationary resistive field distribution on the gas-solid interface along epoxy resin insulators is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Due to the phenomenon that the charge carriers necessary for the conduction process originate from natural ionization and a constant generation rate is assumed, the resu…
