Large scale synthesis of carbon nanofibres (CNFs) on a sodium chloride support has been achieved. CNFs have been synthesized using metal oxalate (Ni, Co and Fe) as catalyst precursors at 680 C by chemical vapour deposition method. Upon pyrolysis, this catalyst precursors yield catalyst nanoparticles directly. The sod…
We used temperature‐sensitive poly(N‐ isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels as drug delivery systems, so changes in body temperature induced by pathogens could act like external stimuli to activate controlled release of the drugs incorporated in the hydrogel. In the distilled water combined release studies, we chose two mode…
Effect of surface charges on dc flashover characteristics of a composite polymeric insulator is studied by means of experiments and theoretical calculations. The considered insulator consisted of a glass fiber reinforced epoxy core covered with a layer of silicone rubber and terminated by metallic electrodes with roun…
Estimating the colloidal stability of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in biological environments is critical for designing optimal preparations and to clarify the fate of these devices after administration. To characterize and quantify the physical stability of nanodevices suitable for biomedical applications, spherical…
One of the most challenging areas of pharmaceutical research is ocular drug delivery. The unique anatomy and physiology of the eye impedes drug permeation to deeper ocular tissues. Nanosized carrier systems such as nanoparticles, liposomes, suspensions, dendrimers, and nanomicelles are being explored for ocular drug d…
A revolutionary optical surface is the result of developments in the theory of aberrations, techniques in optical system optimization, computation speed, precision fabrication of surfaces without symmetry, and extensions to the range of the surface slopes allowed in optical testing.
The adsorption and corrosion inhibiting effect of acid extracts of Piper guineense (PG) leaves on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 was investigated using gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and F…
Nanoparticles (NPs) cause concern for health and safety as their impact on the environment and humans is not known. Relatively few studies have investigated the toxicological and environmental effects of exposure to naturally occurring NPs (NNPs) and man-made or engineered NPs (ENPs) that are known to have a wide vari…
The next generation of advanced fenestration products includes dynamic electrochromic (EC) windows which can modulate the solar energy entering a building by application of an applied voltage. The windows can be switched from 62% visible transmittance (Tvis), 0.47 solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) to a fully tinted s…
BACKGROUND: This study explored the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and excretion profile of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with respect to their particle size in rats. METHODS: Two ZnO nanoparticles of different size (20 nm and 70 nm) were orally administered to male and female rats, respectively. The area und…
Liquid metals exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, in particular large surface tension and low viscosity. However, these properties are greatly affected by oxidation when exposed to air. We measure the viscosity, surface tension, and contact angle of gallium and a eutectic gallium-indium alloy while controlling s…
In this paper, TiO2semiconductive nanoparticles with a large relaxation time constant is added into transformer oil to form semiconductive nanofluids (SNFs), with the aim of enhancing insulating characteristics. ac, dc and lightning impulse breakdown voltage and partial discharge (PD) characteristics of oil samples be…
Although biaxially-oriented polypropylene thin film is a common dielectric for many high voltage pulsed power capacitor applications, the electrical conductivity under high field at elevated temperature is mostly unknown. Such knowledge is valuable not only for better understanding of the origin and transport mechanis…
This paper outlines the story of the inventions and discoveries that directly relate to the genesis and development of electrostatic production and drawing of fibres: electrospinning. Current interest in the process is due to the ease with which nano-scale fibers can be produced in the laboratory. In 1600, the first r…
The creation of ultrahigh surface area materials are of great interest in academia and industry. In recent years, porous aromatic frameworks (PAF) were discovered and their porosity and properties were also explored. They are characterized by a rigid aromatic open-framework structure constructed by covalent bonds. The…
In the treatment of health related dysfunctions, it is desirable that the drug reaches its site of action at a particular concentration and that this therapeutic dose range remains constant over a sufficiently long period of time to alter the process. However, the action of pharmaceutical agents is limited by various…
Hybrid composites are manufactured by combining two or more fibers in a single matrix. Hybrid composites can be made from artificial fibers, natural fibers and with a combination of both artificial and natural fibers. Hybrid composites can help us to achieve a better combination of properties than fiber reinforced com…
Phonons – quanta of crystal lattice vibrations – reveal themselves in all electrical, thermal, and optical phenomena in materials. Nanostructures open exciting opportunities for tuning the phonon energy spectrum and related material properties for specific applications. The possibilities for controlled modification of…
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composite membranes blended with nano-crystalline cellulose (NCC) for ultrafiltration were prepared by a Loeb–Sourirajan (L–S) phase inversion process. The effects of NCC concentration on the membrane performances were investigated. Surface chemical compositions, surface and cross-sect…
