Microwave assisted synthesis and characterisation of a zinc oxide/tobacco mosaic virus hybrid material. An active hybrid semiconductor in a field-effect transistor device

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been employed as a robust functional template for the fabrication of a TMV/zinc oxide field effect transistor (FET). A microwave based approach, under mild conditions was employed to synthesize stable zinc oxi...

Transcutaneous permeation enhancer complex for polymer-based transdermal patches

Selecting a permeation enhancer complex (PEC) for inclusion in a matrix-type transdermal patch (TP) is a primary task in creating a new dosage form with percutaneous administration. Objective: to develop a biologically safe PEC capable of r...

Scalable micro/nanostructured superhydrophobic surface modifications for enhanced energy efficiency and heat transfer performance in stainless steel and titanium

Condensation refers to the change of a substance from a gaseous phase to a liquid phase, an example of which is the condensation of water vapor in nature. Condensation is used in many industries, such as energy generation and seawater desal...

Study of the corrosion properties of powder rolled Ti–6Al–4V alloy applied in the biomedical implants

Great efforts have been made in fabricating Ti–6Al–4V alloys that can be used in the biomedical implants industry. The increasing interest in using fabricated Ti–6Al–4V alloys in industrial applications is mainly due to the properties of al...

Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO₂-CeO₂ Mixed Oxides Utilized as a Screen-Printed Sensing Material for Oxygen Sensor

TiO2 and CeO2 are well known as oxygen sensing materials. Despite high sensitivity, the actual utilization of these materials in gas detection remains limited. Research conducted over the last two decades has revealed synergistic effects of...

Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

Modified electrode voltammetric sensors for trace metals in environmental samples

Nafion-modified mercury thin film electrodes have been investigated for the analysis of trace metals in environmental samples of waters and effluent by batch injection analysis with square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The method, invo...

Mnemonic Topographies in Green Border Film: Migration, Memory, Trauma and Cultural Identity

Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border (2023) theorizes contemporary migration as a cultural formation inscribed within regimes of memory, identity, and border aesthetics, articulating displacement as a constitutive condition of Europe’s collecti...

Influence of thin surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from ion-irradiated tungsten

We studied the influence of thin, electro-chemically grown tungsten (W) surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from W. As deuterium (D) reservoir underneath the oxide, we used a defect-rich, ion-irradiated W layer that was filled w...

The influence of storage conditions on the dynamics of physicochemical markers of champignon (<i>Agaricus bisporus</i>) quality

Agaricus bisporus are the most common cultivated mushrooms. Champignons are a source of chitin, glycogen and minerals, and also have attractive organoleptic properties. Physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of fresh Agaricus bisp...

Air‐Resistant Titanium Oxide Capping for Graphene/Ferromagnet Heterostructures

Abstract Graphene/ferromagnet interfaces have widely demonstrated the capability to host peculiar magnetic and electronic properties relevant for spintronic devices. In principle, besides strengthening perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA...

Nanoparticle Deposition of Fluoropolymer CYTOP via Holographic Femtosecond Laser Processing and Its Biochip Application
