This work investigated the effects of iodine on copper/functionalized carbon nanotubes (Cu/f-CNT) that were used in coating 1350 Aluminum Alloy wires, using process electrophoretic exposure with a solution copper sulfate and iodine, under an electrical current 1.2 A voltage 10 V. The Al@Cu/f-CNT was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy Secondary mode, X-ray Diffraction Raman spectrosco...

We present the first optimization of linear polyacrylamide (LPA)-based DNA separation matrixes for an automated tandem microchannel single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)/heteroduplex analysis (HA) method, implemented in capillary arrays dynamically coated with poly(N-hydroxyethylacrylamide) (polyDuramide). An optimized protocol for sample preparation allowed both SSCP and HA species to...

In this research work, the original 45S5 bioactive glass was modified by introducing zinc and/or strontium oxide (6 mol%) in place of calcium oxide. Sr was added for its ability to stimulate bone formation and Zn for its role in bone metabolism, antibacterial properties, and anti-inflammatory effect. The glasses were produced by means of melting and quenching process. SEM and XRD analyses evide...

A hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) coating of micron thickness is deposited directly on 316L stainless steel (SS316L) cathode through efficient, adjustable electrophoretic deposition (EPD) in a suspension system containing surfactant and ethanol. It based the mixing h-BN with polyethyleneimine (PEI) resulting positively charged ceramic powder making cathodic possible. The coatings SS316L could be...

Abstract In this study, multilayered Cu/HA/ZnS + PEEK coatings were fabricated using hybrid technology on Zr–2.5Nb alloy substrates. The use of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and heat treatment allowed the 1st base composite ZnS layer 2nd hydroxyapatite (HA) top to be obtained. EPD kinetics both layers was studied. Heating at a temperature 450 °C slow cooling resulted in densification sulfona...
