The electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole (Py) in aqueous KNO3 solutions using Austenitic stainless steel electrodes by galvanostatic, potentiostatic and potentiodynamic methods was studied. Chronoamperometric experiments show different behavior of the current with time. Correspondingly, I-tx plots were made giving better fitting for x =3/2 suggesting a progressive nucleation with three-dim...

The corrosion and cell viability behaviors of nanostructured, nickel-free stainless steel implants were studied and compared with AISI 316L. The electrochemical studies were conducted by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements in a simulated body fluid. Cytocompatibility was also evaluated by the adhesion behavior of adult human stem cells on the su...

Bismuth-telluride-based alloys are currently the best commercially available thermoelectric materials for applications at room temperatures. Up to 150 micron thick layers of bismuth antimony telluride (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3) were directly deposited onto nickel by either potenstiostatic or potentiodynamic electrodeposition. Cyclic voltammetry was employed to identify the optimal deposition potential. Th...

introduction: leptin, secreted from adipose tissue may have some correlation with coronary artery disease according to some reports in literature. the mean concentration of plasma leptin in patients with normal and abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) and relation of leptin levels, independently to abnormality in mpi after correction for body mass index (bmi) was evaluated. methods: as a...

the presence of anatomic variations of paranasal sinuses must be noted in order to attain a full understanding and accurate diagnosis of chronic sinusitis. the frequency of anatomic variations in chronic sinusitis is different in various studies. the purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of anatomic variations in chronic sinusitis patients admitted to otolaryngology ward of shahid sa...

introduction in ct imaging, metallic implants inside the tissues cause metal artifact that reduce the quality of image for diagnosis. in order to reduce the effect of this artifact, a new method with more appropriate results has been presented in this research work. materials and methods the presented method comprised of following steps: a) image enhancement and metal areas extraction, b) sinog...

certainly not given to a case reported in the early autumn. According to a local newspaper, a middle-aged couple were evicted from their house by the local housing authority because they had failed to pay rent.

The effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of AISI 410 stainless steel in the simulated concrete pore (0.1 M NaOH + 0.1 M KOH) solution was investigated by various electrochemical methods such as Potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chlori...

The corrosion behavior of mild steel (Ck 45) in 3.0 M H3PO4 solution in the absence and presence of penicillin G was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The best inhibition effect at 10 mM of drug was a marked characteristic of the inhibitor. It was found that the inhibition efficiency of the inhibitor...
