Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) represents a major hurdle for the delivery of bioactives in the brain. It serves as a major constraint for the entry of hydrophilic drugs and the efflux pumps present on its surface restrain the intracellular accumulation of pharmacological moieties in the brain. Nanoparticles (NPs) in this r…
Contradictory results on quantum dot cytotoxicity exist for many types of biological systems, especially microorganisms. In this study, we compare the cytotoxicity of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) to four very different environmental bacterial strains, giving quantitative models of the growth curves for exposed organisms. T…
Abstract Two rivers situated in Central Poland, the Bzura and the Pilica, were selected for analysis of their water quality using benthic diatom species as indicators. The Bzura River has previously been strongly contaminated with organic pollutants, while the Pilica River has been classified as having good water qual…
This article reviews current efforts to make glucose sensors based on the inherent optical properties of single walled carbon nanotubes. The advantages of single walled carbon nanotubes over traditional organic and nanoparticle fluorophores for in vivo-sensing applications are discussed. Two recent glucose sensors mad…
Radar-absorbing structures having foam-based honeycomb sandwich structures (FBHSS) were fabricated through a conventional foaming technique. Conductive fillers such as carbonyl iron/nickel fibers (CINF) and magnetic metal micropowder (MMP) were added to polyurethane foams so as to efficiently increase the absorbing ca…
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has large applications in the shoe industry, especially as expanded sheets used to produce insoles and inner soles. According to TG analysis, the rubber content in SBR residues (SBR-r) was found to be around 26-wt%. Based on that data, a cost-effective technique for the reuse of SBR-r in…
The processes of excitation energy transfer in phosphors based on single-crystal Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce (TbAG:Ce) and Tb 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce,Eu (TbAG:Ce,Eu) garnet films have been investigated. These films are considered to be promising materials for screens for X-ray images and luminescence converters of blue LED radiation.…
Enzymes and other biomolecules are often immobilized in a matrix to improve their stability or to improve their ability to be reused. Performing a polycondensation reaction in the presence of a biomolecule of interest relies on random entrapment events during polymerization and may not ensure efficient, homogeneous, o…
A series of new formulae have been developed for describing the kinetics of solid–gas reactions with an emphasis on diffusion control. Compared with traditional methods, these new equations can be used to treat not only sphere samples but also cylinder, cuboid, and cube samples. Different from the traditional methods,…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of magnetic nanoparticles for enhancing drug delivery using a low oscillating magnetic field (OMF) strength. We investigated the ability of magnetic nanoparticles to cause disruption of a viscous biopolymer barrier to drug delivery and the potential to induce t…
Nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning are morphological mimics of fibrous components of the native extracellular matrix, making nanofibrous scaffolds ideal for three-dimensional cell culture and tissue engineering applications. Although electrospinning is not a conventional technique in cell biology, the experiment…
Zn 1- x Fe x O ( x =0.011, 0.029, 0.048, 0.10, 0.20) thin films have been grown on Al 2 O 3 (0001) substrates by magnetron co-sputtering technique. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that Fe atoms were successfully incorporated into ZnO host matrix, and the films exhibited wurzite structure up to x = 0.20 with reduce…
The behavior of Sr in the aragonite shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica has been explored to determine its potential for high‐resolution environmental reconstruction. The structural state of Sr in the shell was investigated using X ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and Sr/Ca variations across the prismatic laye…
Compared with current standard finishing processes, plasmas have the crucial advantage of reducing the usage of chemicals, water and energy. Moreover, they offer the possibility to obtain typical textile finishes without changing the key textile properties. No wonder there is an increasing interest in plasma for texti…
Metamaterials are understood to be artificially engineered materials that exhibit unusual or difficult to obtain electromagnetic (EM) properties. Such properties would include negative or low values of permittivity, permeability and index of refraction. In this article, we review the fundamentals of metamaterials with…
To date, wet syntheses of single-crystalline ZnO micro- and nanotubes have been carried out using a two-step indirect approach in which a selective dissolution step is required in order to create the vacant space in the tubular structures. In this work, we develop a direct growth process for preparation of single-crys…
Modification of BiFeO3 multiferroic ceramics were investigated by introducing NaNbO3 to form (Bi1−xNax)(Fe1−xNbx)O3 (x=0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) solid solutions. With increasing NaNbO3 content, the crystalline structure changed and the ferroelectric properties were improved. The significantly reduced leakage resulted in more…
The goal of this study is to examine how the extrusion process affects the dispersion, length, and thermal degradation of cellulose fibers (CF) in polypropylene (PP) composites. Bleached sulfite CF are pelletized and then compounded (20 and 30wt%) in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The pelletizing process of CF is…
A simple strategy for the synthesis of macro-mesoporous carbonaceous monolith materials has been demonstrated through an organic-organic self-assembly at the interface of an organic scaffold such as polyurethane (PU) foam. Hierarchically porous carbonaceous monoliths with cubic (Im $$ \bar 3 $$ m) or hexagonal (p6mm)…
Using a stainless steel mesh as a template collector, electrospun nanofiber meshes with well-tailored architectures and patterns were successfully prepared from biodegradable poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL). It was found that the resulting PCL nanofiber (NF) meshes had similar topological structures to that of the t…
