The goal of this work is to research the effect different Au-Ag ratios on homogeneity bimetal alloys. Thin films silver (Ag)-gold (Au) alloy were produced using Vaksis Thermal Evaporator system and quartz crystal microbalance detector at gold additive ratios. Micro beam X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer was used calculate bimetallic Ag-Au thin production with concentration values. It seen that ca...

Motivated by a recent detailed experimental study [Y. Ma et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 10741], the structure and local reactivity of PdAg/Pd(111) surface alloys were studied using periodic density functional theory calculations. As a probe of the local reactivity, CO adsorption energies were evaluated as a function of concentration and configuration of silver and palladium atoms an...

Automotive wiring harness helps the interaction between electrical equipment such as in-vehicle controllers, sensors, actuators, and lamps. An automotive connector, on the other hand, is one of the important parts, which connects wiring harness to other harnesses or electrical devices. Automotive connector terminals are generally made of tin, gold and silver plated copper alloys. Figure 1 shows...

An aluminum nitride (AlN) based patch antenna-type high-temperature wireless passive sensor is reported to operate as both a sensor and an antenna, which integrates in situ measurement/sensing with remote wireless communication at the same time. The sensor is small, easy to manufacture, highly sensitive and has a high operating temperature; it can be used in high-temperature, chemically corrosi...

UNLABELLED Knowing how stresses are dissipated on the fixed implant-supported complex allows adequate treatment planning and better choice of the materials used for prosthesis fabrication. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the deformation suffered by cantilevered implant-supported fixed prostheses frameworks cast in silver-palladium alloy and coated with two occlusal veneering ...

Force and pressure sensing technology applied to smart surgical instruments as well as implants allow to give a direct feedback of loads to the surgeon lead to better reliability and success of surgical operations. A common technology used for sensors is low-cost piezoresistive thick-film technology. However, the standard thick-film firing conditions degrade the properties of medical alloys. In...

The aim of the study was to compare the connective tissue response of Lewis rats to Ti, NiCr and AgPd alloys. It was found that implants were covered by collagen-rich, well vascularized capsules. Titanium was covered by the thinnest capsule (57 ± 20 μm) and AgPd alloy was covered by the thickest capsule (239 ± 50 μm). The PCNA+ cell prevalence in the capsules was lower for titanium than for AgP...

In this study, we prepared adenosine triphosphate (ATP) encapsulated liposomes, and assessed their applicability for the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based assays with gold-silver alloy (Au@Ag)-assembled silica nanoparticles (NPs; SiO₂@Au@Ag). The liposomes were prepared by the thin film hydration method from a mixture of l-α-phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and PE-PEG2000 in chlor...

A sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) DNA biosensor based on nanoporous gold (NPG) electrode and PdCu@carbon nanocrystals (CNCs) composites is developed. The CNCs were obtained simply by electrooxidation with abundant carboxyl groups at their surfaces. The NPG can be easily prepared by a selective dissolution of silver from silver-gold alloy in nitric acid, which has free-standing noble me...
