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 ...
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 ...
Subchapter 1.4: Radiolabeled functional nanoparticles in preventive and regenerative medicine
(Elsevier, 2018)
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to provide infor¬mation about the functioning of a person’s specific tissue/organs or to treat a disease. Radiolabeled nanoparticles (NPs) represent a new class ...
Insights into the kinetics of thermally induced crystallization of amorphous calcium phosphate
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018)
Transformations between amorphous and crystalline apatite mechanistically govern some of the most essential processes in bone metabolism, including biomineralization and bone remodeling. Fundamental understanding of this ...
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 ...
Tesla's Fountain – Modeling and simulation in ceramics technology
(Elsevier, 2018)
In this paper, we present Tesla's Fountain in ceramics technology reconstruction from basic 3D model, simulation of the engine, light and fluids till the real materialization. As the one of the most important model purposes, ...
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 – ...
Assessment of Spasticity by a Pendulum Test in SCI Patients Who Exercise FES Cycling or Receive only Conventional Therapy
(IEEE, 2018)
Increased muscle tone and exaggerated tendon reflexes characterize most of the individuals after a spinal cord injury (SCI). We estimated seven parameters from the pendulum test and used them to compare with the Ashworth ...
