Temperature-Sensitive Hydrogels as Carriers for Modulated Delivery of Acetaminophen
(MDPI, 2023)
The purposes of this study are the polymerization of temperature-sensitive copolymers based on N-isopropyl acrylamide and 10 mol % of 2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate, characterisations of their thermal, morphological and ...
Synthesis and characterization of luminescent Cu2+–doped fluorapatite nanocrystals as potential broad–spectrum antimicrobial agents
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Nanomaterials based on metal–doped fluorapatite (FAP) have attracted considerable interest as potential next–generation antimicrobial agents. In this study, Cu2+–doped FAP nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized ...
Non-Destructive Examination for Cavitation Resistance of Talc-Based Refractories with Different Zeolite Types Intended for Protective Coatings
(MDPI, 2023)
In many industrial processes that include fluid flow, cavitation erosion of different engineeringstructures (pumps, turbines, water levels, valves, etc.) during their operation is expected. Metallic,ceramic, and composite ...
Effects of liquid surface tension on gas capillaries and capillary forces at superamphiphobic surfaces
(NLM (Medline), 2023)
The formation of a bridging gas capillary between superhydrophobic surfaces in water gives rise to strongly attractive interactions ranging up to several micrometers on separation. However, most liquids used in materials ...
Advancing PHBV Biomedical Potential with the Incorporation of Bacterial Biopigment Prodigiosin
(Switzerland : Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
The quest for sustainable biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility and tailorableproperties has put polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) into the research spotlight. However, high productioncosts and the lack of bioactivity ...
Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes
(Hindawi Limited, 2023)
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls' lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, ...
Determining the Role of Acicular Ferrite Carbides in Cleavage Fracture Crack Initiation for Two Medium Carbon Microalloyed Steels
(MDPI, 2023)
Two medium-carbon microalloyed steels with a predominant acicular ferrite microstructure were investigated in this study in order to determine the initial micro-crack formation mechanism and the role of acicular ferrite ...
Magneto-Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Nd-Fe-B-Epoxy-Bonded Composite Materials
(MDPI, 2023)
Polymer-bonded magnets are a class of composite material that combines the magnetic properties of metal particles and the molding possibility of a polymeric matrix. This class of materials has shown huge potential for ...
Biomechanical Aspects in Bone Tumor Engineering
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc., 2023)
In the past decades, anticancer drug development brought the field of tumor engineering to a new level by the need of robust test systems. Simulating tumor microenvironment in vitro remains a challenge, and osteosarcoma—the ...
Effect of Shielding Gas Arc Welding Process on Cavitation Resistance of Welded Joints of AlMg4.5Mn Alloy
(MDPI, 2023)
The effect of the shielding gas arc welding process on the cavitation resistance of the three-component aluminum alloy AlMg4.5Mn and its welded joints was investigated. Welding was performed using the GTAW and GMAW processes ...
