Abstract Active alginate-based coatings with quercetin glycoside and complexes of hydroxyapatite/quercetin-glycoside were used to study the shelf life fresh cut papaya stored at 6 °C. Hydroxyapatite was as a carrier for release bioactive compound. The parameters considered affecting quality fruit during storage weight loss, color, texture, sugars volatile compounds. hydroxyapatite proved higher...

silicon and aluminum sources are most important reactants in the synthesis of zeolite. the use of the silicon source has an important effect on the crystallization of zeolites. also, it can change the properties of the end product. this work reports the influence of three common commercial silica sources such as colloidal silica (ludox am-30), fumed silica and water glass on the crystallinity o...

A bone has a hierarchical structure as shown in Fig. 1 [1]. Macroscopic bone properties are dependent on the microstructure and properties of structural elements. The bone is a composite material that consists of hydroxyapatite particles in a matrix of collagen fiber. Borsato et al. [2] measured the strain of hydroxyapatite by X-ray diffraction and obtained clear evidence of the stress concentr...

in this study, alkaline colloidal silica was prepared by titration of an alkaline solution such as sodium silicate with silicic acid in constant range of ph  .this constant range of ph was achieved by using concentrated soduim silicate solutions as ph adjusting solutions during titration.the sodium silicate solutions  having a variety of concentrations were passed  through ion-exchange resin to...

liquefaction is one of the most important and complex topics in geotechnical earthquake engineering. in recent years, passive site stabilization method has been proposed for non-disruptive mitigation of liquefaction risk at developed sites susceptible to liquefaction using colloidal nano-silica stabilizer. in this research, 4 box models were used to investigate the ability to uniformly deliver ...

CaO-P(2)O(5) glasses with additions of MgO and CaF(2) were used as a sintering aid of hydroxyapatite, and glass-reinforced hydroxyapatite composites obtained. Glasses promoted significant changes in the microstructure of the composites, namely with the formation of tricalcium phosphate secondary phases, beta and alpha-TCP. Quantitative phase analysis was performed by the Rietveld method using G...

Although a lot of in vitro and in vivo assays have been performed during the last few decades years for hydroxyapatite bioactive coatings, there is a lack of exploitation of real-time in vitro interaction measurements. In the present work, real-time interactions for a plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coating were measured by a Multi-Parametric Surface Plasmon Resonance (MP-SPR), and the results we...

BACKGROUND With the increasing use of hydroxyapatite orbital implants, the complication of exposure has become apparent to oculoplastic surgeons. Many kinds of patch grafts, such as sclera, dermis, and hard palate mucosa, have been used to cover exposed hydroxyapatite implants with inconsistent results. In this study, the authors use a newly developed technique, autogenous retroauricular myoper...
