Inert atmosphere processing of hydroxyapatite in the presence of lithium iron phosphate
(Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2018)
The present study describes sintering behaviour of hydroxyapatite (HAp) upon addition of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) (1-10 wt.%) system in inert (Ar) atmosphere. The interaction between materials and melting of LFP ...
Properties of 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramics with graphene addition obtained by spark plasma sintering
(Elsevier, 2018)
In this study the influence of graphene addition on the microstructure, phase composition, mechanical, and electrical properties of 3Y-TZP ceramics was investigated. Blends of pure 3Y-TZP and with addition of 1 − 4 vol% ...
Visible light sensitive mesoporous nanohybrids of lepidocrocite-like ferrititanate coupled to a charge transfer complex: Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic degradation of NO
(Elsevier, 2018)
The efficiency of photo-oxidation of pollutants catalysed by semiconductors is still limited for real-world applications due to several drawbacks, such as a) insufficient absorption of visible radiation, which predominates ...
Polyethersulfone/poly(acrylic acid) composite hydrogel membrane reservoirs for controlled delivery of cationic drug formulations
(Elsevier, 2018)
We present the innovative synthesis of polyethersulfone/poly(acrylic acid) composite hydrogel membranesperformed by combining photoirradiation with a traditional liquid phase inversion process.Fabricated membranes exhibited ...
Flexible and high-efficiency Sb2S3/solid carrier solar cell at low light intensity
(Springer, 2018)
Producing green and efficient energy sources is a major challenge. As a consequence, the use of photovoltaic devices for conversion of light into electricity is growing worldwide. A lot of effort had been invested to create ...
Chitosan oligosaccharide lactate coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles as a vehicle for the delivery of steroid drugs and the targeting of breast cancer cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Low targeting efficiency and fast metabolism of antineoplastic drugs are hindrances to effective chemotherapies and there is an ongoing search for better drugs, but also better carriers. Steroid derivatives, 3β-hydroxy-1 ...
The effect of the androstane lung cancer inhibitor content on the cell-selective toxicity of hydroxyapatite-chitosan-PLGA nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2018)
An androstane (17β-hydroxy-17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β-yl-acetate (derivative A)) cancer inhibitor was successfully captured in a carrier made of nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HAp) coated with chitosan-PLGA polymer blends ...
NiA and NiX zeolites as bifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting in alkaline media
(Elsevier, 2018)
NiA and NiX zeolites were prepared and characterised using XRD, FTIR and SEM, and subsequently tested as electrodes for hydrogen (HER) and oxygen (OER) evolution reactions in alkaline media. Linear sweep voltammetry and ...
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 ...
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 ...
