Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...

This clinical report describes the microscopic analysis of a threaded hydroxyapatite-coated root-form implant retrieved from an 89-year-old subject after 10 months of service. The implant was never loaded and was removed because it was nonrestorable. Clinically, the buccal area of the implant was covered by soft tissue, whereas the palatal side was covered by bone. Light microscopic evaluation ...

Quartz (α-quartz), is the most common crystalline silica polymorph in nature and is the only polymorph found in significant concentrations in coal and in coal ash. Since exposure to quartz is liable to cause lung diseases, it is very important to know the concentration of biologically active quartz in respirable particles in order to evaluate their effect on the workers in contact with them. Th...

in this research, mesoporous silica was applied as the host of corrosion inhibitor (molybdate). the loaded mesoporous silica was dispersed in an epoxy matrix. the composite was then coated on the mild steel plate. results showed that the corrosion resistance of the scratched epoxy/mesoporous silica loaded by molybdate was better than the one without molybdate or neat epoxy. on the other hand, e...

BACKGROUND The use of different bioactive materials as coating on dental implant to restore tooth function is a growing trend in modern Dentistry. In the present study, hydroxyapatite and the bioactive glass-coated implants were evaluated for their behavior in osseous tissue following implantation in 14 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite formulated and prepared...

Form factor and magnetic properties of silica-coated spindle-type hematite nanoparticles are determined from SAXS measurements with applied magnetic field and magnetometry measurements. The particle size, polydispersity and porosity are determined using a core-shell model for the form factor. The particles are found to align with their long axis perpendicular to the applied field. The orientati...

Abstract The investigated cast Ni50–Ti50 shape memory alloy was prepared using a vacuum arc furnace. samples were subjected to in-vitro biocompatibility studies according ISO 10993-12:2004, and compared other Ni–Ti orthodontic wires commercially available at the dental market. hydroxyapatite-coated electrodeposition technique. effect of surface treatment on coating quality addressed. electroche...

Uniformity, surface roughness, and chemical phase structure are all important features of implant coatings. While the first two variables are important for implant placement, the phase structure affects implant fixation. This study examined the coating morphology and the amount, size, and distribution of crystalline regions of press-fit and screw-type dental implants. Implants obtained from fiv...

In this work, an simple and fast method based solid phase extraction for preconcentration and separation of trace amount of Fe(III) ions from water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was developed. The silver nanoparticles coated silica gel was modified by morin and then it was used as a adsorbent. The silver nanoparticle coated silica gel was prep...
