Processing and characterization of UHMWPE composite fibres with alumina particles in poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) matrix
(SAGE, 2018)
Processing of hybrid composites represents a challenge for engineers where the aim is to establish compatibility among several materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different sizes and morphologies ...
Synthesis of Cerium-Activated Yttrium Aluminate Based Fine Phosphors by an Aerosol Route
(Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley & Sons, 2012)
Polycrystalline fine powders of yttrium aluminate doped with Ce3+ were synthesised by spray pyrolysis of a polymeric precursor, which was obtained by dissolving the corresponding nitrates in a solution of ethylenediamine ...
Choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents in CaO-catalyzed ethanolysis of expired sunflower oil
(Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2018)
Choline chloride (ChCl)-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with different amides or polyols as hydrogen bond donors were tested as cosolvents in the ethanolysis of expired sunflower oil catalyzed by either calcined or ...
NIR photo-driven upconversion in NaYF4:Yb,Er/PLGA particles for in vitro bioimaging of cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2018)
Lanthanide-doped fluoride up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent the new class of imaging contrast agents which hold great potential for overcoming existing problems associated with traditionally used dyes, proteins ...
Compressive strength and microstructure of ordinary cured and autoclaved cement-based composites with mechanically activated kaolins
(Elsevier, 2018)
The effects of two different mechanically activated kaolins, AKV (61% kaolinite, 14% quartz and 16% mica) and AKG (51.6% kaolinite and 40.6% quartz) on the compressive strength of cement composites and microstructure of ...
Optical characterization of a novel miniature microwave ICP plasma source in nitrogen flow
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Abstract A Miniature Microwave (MMW) Inductively Coupled Plasma Source (ICP) is characterized by optical emission spectroscopy and by optical imaging of nitrogen plasma. The MWW source operates in two different modes (H – ...
Effects of different mechanical treatments on structural changes of lignocellulosic waste biomass and subsequent Cu(II) removal kinetics
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this paper, the character of structural changes induced by different mechanical treatments to Prunus persica stones (PSs), and its subsequent effect on biosorption kinetics of Cu(II) were investigated. PSs were processed ...
Integer Codes Correcting High-Density Byte Asymmetric Errors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
In optical networks without optical amplifiers, the number of received photons never exceeds the number of sent ones. Hence, upon transmission, only asymmetric (1 → 0) errors can occur. Motivated by this fact, in this ...
DNA damage and alterations in expression of DNA damage responsive genes induced by TiO2 nanoparticles in human hepatoma HepG2 cells
(Oxon : Taylor & Francis, 2011)
We investigated the genotoxic responses to two types of TiO2 nanoparticles (<25 nm anatase: TiO2-An, and <100 nm rutile: TiO2-Ru) in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Under the applied exposure conditions the particles were ...
Selective anticancer activity of hydroxyapatite/chitosan-poly(D,L)-lactide-co-glycolide particles loaded with an androstane-based cancer inhibitor
(Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2016)
In an earlier study we demonstrated that hydroxyapatite nanoparticles coated with chitosan-poly(d,l)-lactide-co-glycolide (HAp/Ch-PLGA) target lungs following their intravenous injection into mice. In this study we utilize ...
