this experiment was conducted for evaluating the humoral immune responses induced by poly lactide-co-glycolide acid (plga) microspheres coupled inactivated newcastle disease virus (ndv) vaccine in comparison to an ‘in-house’ prepared inactivated and a live commercial vaccine. plg microparticles containing inactivated ndv were prepared by a double emulsion technique based on solvent evaporation ...

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on solid and hollow microsphere optical resonators was investigated. The primary goal was to explore the feasibility of a micro-optical pressure sensor based on whispering gallery modes (WGMs) and to quantify the deleterious effect of environmental pressure changes on other WGM-based sensors. Expressions were developed for WGM shifts due to changes in hydrosta...

We report the synthesis of copper(II) oxide hollow nanostructures at ambient pressure and close to room temperature by applying the soft templating effect provided by the confinement of droplets in miniemulsion systems. Particle growth can be explained by considering a mechanism that involves both diffusion and reaction control. The catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol in aqueous media is used ...

In order to effectively raise both utilization rate and additional value of fly ash, X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-Ray spectrometer (EDS) were used to investigate the morphology, and chemical and mineral composition of the microspheres in fly ash from the Luohuang coal-fired power plant, Chongqing, southwestern China. The majority of fly ash...

Three kinds of N-doped mesoporous TiO₂ hollow spheres with different N-doping contents, surface area, and pore size distributions were prepared based on a sol-gel synthesis and combined with a calcination process. Melamine formaldehyde (MF) microspheres have been used as sacrificial template and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was selected as pore-directing ...

Recently, hollow thermoplastic microspheres, have emerged as an innovative filler material for use in polymer-matrix composites. The resulting all-polymer syntactic foam takes on excellent damage tolerance properties, strong recoverability under large strains, and favourable energy dissipation characteristics. Aside from foams, microspheres are finding increasing usage a variety of applications...

Mesoporous single-crystalline V2O5 nanorods assembled into novel hollow microspheres have been synthesized as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries by a simple solvothermal treatment of NH4VO3 and ethylene glycol with subsequent annealing in air at 400 °C, which delivered a very high reversible capacity of 145.8 mA h g(-1) at 2.5-4.0 V (vs. theoretical value: 147 mA h g(-1)) with much imp...
