Highly sensitive sensor arrays are in high demand for prospective applications in remote sensing and imaging. Measuring microscopic deflections of compliant micromembranes and cantilevers is developing into one of the most versatile approaches for thermal, acoustic and chemical sensing. Here, we report on an innovative fabrication of compliant nanocomposite membranes with nanoscale thickness sh...

in this study, pyrite was produced by hydrothermal precipitation from the reaction between feso4 and na2s2o3 at high pressure and high temperature in a stirred reactor. the solid product was purified by means of solvent extraction to remove sulfur. powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and thermal analyses. results indicated that pyrite was prod...

in this research, mechanical alloying was used to produce ti-50al, ti-45al-5cr and ti-45al-5w (at%) alloys. the effect of ternary addition (cr and w) on microstructure and production efficiency of tial alloy were investigated. alloying was performed in a planetary mill and the milling time varying from 5 to 70h. the structural evaluation in these powders was done by x-ray diffraction (xrd) tech...

in this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to cd-center. it was found that the c...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

background: recent results have provided increasing evidence to support involvement of membrane damage in the mechanism of ionizing radiation induced killing of mammalian cells. these findings have stimulated renewed interest in evaluating the damage to membrane as a primary initiator in radiation-induced cell killing especially in apoptotic death. the present study was aimed to gain deeper ins...

Hemin is the product of hemoglobin oxidation. Some diseases may lead to a formation of hemin. The accumulation of hemin causes destruction of red blood cells (RBC) membranes. In this study the process of development of topological defects of RBC membranes within the size range from nanoscale to microscale levels is shown. The formation of the grain-like structures in the membrane ("grains") wit...

wileyonlinelibrary.com internal/external surface sites of the nanostructure. Thus, the big challenge is in the nanostructure architecture where all of these parameters need to be optimized simultaneously. For the case of a supercapacitor, the nanostructure material is used as the framework to store and transport charges between two parallel electrodes. A conventional supercapacitor usually cons...
