in this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (co and fe) nano/ micro wires on silicon substrate. deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the si substrate. spin coated films were irradiated with 150mev ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8e7 ions/cm2, followed by uv irradiati...

We examine Bubble Clouds composed of a bubble cluster for a three-dimensional display. A bubble cluster is flexible in that its shape can be modified and it can float in the air with helium gas confinement of the bubbles. By varying the density of the bubble clusters, we project images onto the bubbles without requiring fog confinement or use of special equipment. Moreover, we investigate wheth...

Icariin has been identified to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, whether icariin could enhance angiogenic factor expression of BMSCs, which may be vital for bone repair need to be explored. Moreover, how to construct a delivery system of icariin and the repair capability in the bone defect is still unknown. In present study, the effects of icari...

In this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. Mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and Young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. For this purpose, micro- and nano-sized CaCO3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

Superior first-cycle Coulomb efficiency (above 80%) is displayed by filter paper-derived micro-nano structure hard carbon, and it delivers a high reversible capacity of 286 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles as the anode for Na-ion battery at 20 mA g-1. These advantageous performance characteristics are attributed to the unique micro-nano structure, which reduced the first irreversible capacity loss by l...

Dissolved Air (Pressure) Flotation-DAF, is a well-established separation process that employs micro-bubbles as a carrier phase. This work shows results concerning bubble generation at low working pressures in modified DAF-units to improve the collection of fragile coagula by bubbles. DAF of Fe (OH)3 (as model) was studied as a function of saturation pressure in the absence and presence of surfa...

Fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. Micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). It is well known that the structure and prope...

This paper reviews the most relevant achievements and new developments in the field of nanomaterials and their possible impact on the fabrication of a new generation of reliable and longer lasting implants for joint replacement. Special emphasis is given to the role of nanocomposites with different microstructural designs: micro-nano composites, nano-nano composites, macro-micro-nano composites...
