Single crystals and polycrystalline diamond films of several thicknesses were deposited using oxygen/acetylene combustion flame technique. The substrate used was pure polycrystalline molybdenum subjected to mechanical polishing. Quality and microstructural characteristic of diamond produced were investigated using X-Ray diffraction, Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning and Transmission Electron Microsc...

Silver, one of the precious and noble metals, is used in large quantities for many purposes, particularly in the photographic industry. It has been reported that 25% of the world’s silver needs are supplied by recycling and that 75% of this is obtained from photographic waste. For this reason, the methods applied to recover silver from photographic waste are important in reducing cost and time,...

The utilization and preparation of functional hybrid films for optical sensing applications and membranes is of utmost importance. In this work, we report the convenient and scalable preparation of self-crosslinking particle-based films derived by directed self-assembly of alkoxysilane-based cross-linkers as part of a core-shell particle architecture. The synthesis of well-designed monodisperse...

To explore the structure and property features of complex aggregates assembled by polymer and organic dye molecules in microcosmic soft confined space, a three-dimensional microconfinement is constructed by W/O inverse emulsion as the site for the complex aggregation of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PEG-b-P4VP). It ...

We provide evidence of single attoliter oil droplet collisions at the surface of an ultra-microelectrode (UME) by the observation of simultaneous electrochemical current transients (i-t curves) and electrogenerated chemiluminescent (ECL) transients in an oil/water emulsion. An emulsion system based on droplets of toluene and tri-n-propylamine (2:1 v/v) emulsified with an ionic liquid and suspen...

The purpose of this study was to investigate coating process of tablets with the novel starch hydrolysate emulsion. The process was performed manually in a coating pan rotating 35 rpm, with a stream of dry air (40 - 45 degrees C). The coated tablets were of fairly good quality. A total tablet surface was calculated for evaluation of quantity of starch hydrolysate emulsion for one step of coatin...

Higher-order structures that originate from the specific and reversible DNA-directed self-assembly of microscopic building blocks hold great promise for future technologies. Here, we functionalized biotinylated soft colloid oil-in-water emulsion droplets with biotinylated single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides using streptavidin as an intermediary linker. We show the components of this modular li...

Many on-chip approaches that use flow-focusing to pinch the continuous aqueous phase into droplets have become the most popular methods that provide monodisperse emulsion droplets. However, not every lab can easily adapt a microfluidic workflow into their familiar protocols. We develop an off-chip approach, spinning micro-pipette liquid emulsion (SiMPLE) generator, to produce highly stable mono...

Abstract A nuclear emulsion film is a three-dimensional tracking device that widely used in cosmic-ray and high-energy physics experiments. Scanning with wide angle acceptance crucial for obtaining track information films. This study presents new method developed high-speed recognition of films neutrino–nucleus interaction measurements. The technique can be to measure tracks charged particles f...
