background: titanium (ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (ha). however, ha has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. it is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of zro2 and the chemical inertness of al2o3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating ti implants with ha-zro2-al2o3 to modify the s...

  Background: Ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. Our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (SI) in T1-weighted MR images.   Methods : D...

radar absorbing materials, i.e. magnetite (fe3o4) coated carbon fibers (mccfs) were fabricated by electro-deposition technique. black-colored single spinel phase fe3o4 nanoparticles was easily synthesized by hydrothermal method using reduction of a fe (iii) - triethanolamine complex in an aqueous alkaline solution at 60-80 ◦c. uniform and compact fe3o4 films were fabricated on nitric acid treat...

in this study, a set of experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of edta-grafted iron oxide nanoparticles exposure on agronomic traits of sunflower (helianthus annuus) plants. the experiment was implemented by applying nano-fe3o4-edta and fe-edta fertilizers applied through spray or soil amendment. a variety of parameters including aerial organ biomass, number of leaves, plant he...

the aim of this work was to investigate the effect of silica coating on bioactivity and biodegradability of hydroxyapatite. in this purpose, we firstly attempted to synthesis hydroxyapatite (ha) nanoparticles and its silica coated (si-ha) sample in collagen matrix using calcium chloride, sodium phosphate and sodium silicate. characterization of the sample was carried out using fourier transform...

introduction: gutta-percha (gp), is a neutral and non-toxic material. the aim of this animal study was to compare the biocompatibility of nanosilver coated gp (ns-gp) with conventional gp in subcutaneous tissues in a rat model. methods and materials: conventional gp and ns-gp were subcutaneously implanted in the backs of 20 male wistar rats ( n =10). a control animal was assigned for each trial...

this work presents free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions based on the classical plate theory (cpt). the first involves an s-fgm plate with different boundary conditions. then involves a two-layer plate in which an s-fgm layer is coated on a homogeneous substrate with classical boundary conditions, simply called an s-fgm-coated plate; the othe...

The following is a condensed narrative of Hospital Assistant K. M. Melita's personal sufferings. On the evening of the 30th May, 1902, he dined with some friends. There were live people present, three adult males, a lad aged 13 years, and his hostess. The repast consisted of wheaten chappaties,dal and rice, vegetables, and a highlyspiced curry. Fifteen minutes after food he felt giddy and thirs...

introduction one of the limitations of tissue conditioners (tc) is gradual hardening of the material in a short time period after insertion in the mouth, due to the loss of their viscoelastic properties. the aim of this study was to determine the softness of two different tissue conditioners with and without the monopoly coating. methods and materials in this experimental study, acropars and vi...
