Different experimental procedures were investigated for incorporating Multi walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into epoxy diglycidil-ether bisphenol-A (DGEBA), cured with 4,4' diamine-dibenzyl-sulfone (DDS): (i) mechanical mixing for either 60 or 120 minutes; (ii) high energy ball milling for 30 minutes; (iii) ultrasonic…
This article describes a high sensitivity spectrophotometer designed to detect the overall extinction of light by a single nanoparticle (NP) in the 10(-4)-10(-5) relative range, using a transmission measurement configuration. We focus here on the simple and low cost scheme where a white lamp is used as a light source,…
Forged Ti6Al4V alloy in two different microstructures was used for investigations on fatigue behaviour with special focus on crack initiation and short crack propagation characteristics. Both microstructures are in the bi-modal condition containing different amounts and sizes of primary alpha grains. Interrupted fatig…
In this article, we report a novel surface modification method for cellulose fiber that is based on supramolecular assembly. Beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) was first covalently grafted onto the fiber surface. Then poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) oligomers having both ends capped with adamantane motifs (i.e., PCL-AD) wer…
It is estimated that over two thirds of all new crystal structures of proteins are determined via the protein selenium derivatization (selenomethionine (Se-Met) strategy). This selenium derivatization strategy via MAD (multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion) phasing has revolutionized protein X-ray crystallography. Thr…
A simplified numerical approach based on finite elements to compute thermal stresses occurring in work roll of hot rolling mills is here proposed. To decrease both the complexity of the analysis and the computational effort, this approach implements a plane finite element model of the work roll alone, loaded on its su…
The influence of crystallographic texture on fatigue failure mechanisms was studied by comparing the fatigue behaviour of two extruded magnesium alloys, AZ31 and ZN11. The microstructures and fracture surfaces of specimens were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to reveal the micromechanisms of fatigue…
The aim of the study was to investigate a porous nanohydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (n-HA/PA66) scaffold material that was implanted into muscle and tibiae of 16 New Zealand white rabbits to evaluate the biocompatibility and osteogenesis and osteoinductivity of the materials in vivo. The samples were harvested at 2, 4, 1…
Chitons and limpets harden their teeth with biominerals in order to scrape algae from hard rock surfaces. To elucidate relationships between tooth structure and function, light and electron microscopy were used to examine naturally worn teeth in three species of mollusc with iron-mineralized teeth and to analyze the g…
Single phase cubic Gd2O3 nanophosphor codoped with Eu3+ and Yb3+ ions has been synthesized through solution combustion route. Structural properties have been investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-synthesized Gd2O3 phosphor shows amorphous nature which changes to…
Due to the wide application of composite insulators in the power industry, the insulator performance is challenged by various environments. To determine the flashover performance of rime-iced composite insulator, laboratory investigation was carried out in an artificial climate chamber to simulate different rime-ice m…
Summary Previous studies of citric acid/calcite have been limited to coreflood tests and bench-scale experiments. However, the kinetics of a citric acid reaction with calcite has not been measured. This paper gives, for the first time, the kinetics of citric-acid/calcite reaction, which will provide a better way to mo…
This study investigates the detailed phase transition behavior of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) thin films in the thickness range between 4–30 nm using a static laser tester. It was found that the crystallization time has a minimum for both as-deposited (around 12 nm) and melt-quenched (around 10 nm) amorphous materials. Capping th…
This experimental study reports the influence of the surface treatment of silica nanoparticles on the morphology and electrical properties of epoxy composites. (3-Glycidoxypropyl)methyldiethoxysilane was used as a silane coupling agent for the surface treatment of the silica nanoparticles. It was found that the incorp…
The main scattering mechanisms governing the transport of electrons in PMMA in an energy domain ranging from the energy of the primary electron beam down to few hundreds of meV are identified. A quantitative Monte Carlo model for the emission of secondary electrons is developed to be applied for critical dimensions ex…
The fracture of bone is clearly a major health concern, especially for the elderly. Medical therapies to reduce the possibility of bone fracture to date have principally centered on treating the loss in bone mass (bone mineral density) that accompanies aging (i.e., addressing the loss in bone quantity). However, it is…
The direct synthesis of six-fold symmetric hexaphenylbenzenes with multiple photochromic dithienylethene units via a cobalt-catalyzed cyclotrimerization is reported. This approach allows for six photochromic units to be held in proximity with a well-defined spatial separation without affecting the photochromic propert…
An experimental study was conducted, using the Inclined Plane Test method to determine the performance of typical power line insulator materials: RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanized) silicone rubber coated porcelain, HTV (High Temperature Vulcanized) silicone rubber and EPDM rubber. The constant voltage method was employ…
Vegetable fibres are produced from bast, fruit, seed, leaf, and sheath of plants. They are discrete of single entities as in cotton; ligno-cellulosic meshy as in jute and mesta; long as in jute, mesta, flax, sisal, ramie, pineapple leaf fibre (PALF); and short as in areca nut, kapok. Some of them like cotton and ramie…
The toxicity of polyethylene-glycol functionalized (PEGylated) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and non-PEGylated MWCNTs in vivo was evaluated and compared. Mice were exposed to MWCNTs by intravenous injection. The activity level of glutathione, superoxide dismutase and gene expression in liver, as well as some…
