the effects of nano titanium dioxide incorporation were investigated on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial properties of bovine gelatin films. the nano tio2 (tio2- n) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 5% w/w of dried gelatin). the permeability of the films to water vapor a...

Nano-fibrillated cellulose was produced from flax and wheat straw cellulose pulps by high pressure disintegration. The reinforcing potential of both disintegrated nano-celluloses in a polyvinyl-alcohol matrix was evaluated. Disintegration of wheat straw was significantly more time and energy consuming. Disintegration did not lead to distinct changes in the degree of polymerization; however, the...

By introduction of nano-structured crystallite capping layers, the power conversion efficiency of top-illumination organic solar cells is improved from 4.2 ± 0.1% to 6.0 ± 0.2%, representing a 44% enhancement. This is caused by the increase in JSC and led by the enhancement in the local E distribution inside the active layers. Comprehensive finite-difference time domain simulation reveals two m...

The aim of this research is to assessment the effect oxidase silver nanoparticles outside body organism by exposure samples diagnosed using modified acid fast stain and microscopic isolated examination floatation into three concentrations per nano-material is(01, 0.03 0.05). And then examined at half an hour after trypan blue later calculate living dead oocytes (hemocytometer) percentage oocyst...

The vapor deposition of open-networked carbon nanostructures and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced composites have been developed and studied parametrically. Carbon nanostructures, including nano-tubes, nano-foams, nanoparticles, and nano-walls, have been deposited on catalyst-assisted substrates using microwave plasma electron cyclotron resonance-chemical vapor deposition (ECR-CVD) system at ...

The 3D printed antibacterial polymer products were rapidly sintered to obtain by selective laser sintering with highly dispersed Nano-silver modified Kaolin powder and polyamide/polypropylene composite engineering material. preparation method of not only shortens the period, but also guarantees precision quality product as well slow-release function Nano-silver.

Abstract This study investigated the separation of bovine serum albumin using a novel matrix mixed membrane composed poly vinyl pyrrolidone and (phenylene ether sulfone)/Nano-silver. The responsive bare modified PEES/Nano-silver membranes were evaluated morphology, wettability, XRD ATR-FTIR. molecular weight cut-off (MWCO), water content, mean pore radius, porosity, pure flux used to evaluate p...

As a tribute to the scientific work of Professor Gareth Thomas in the field of structure-property relationships this paper delineates a new possibility of Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to study the magnetic properties of soft magnetic films. We show that in contrast to the traditional point of view, not only does the direction of the magnetization vector in nano-crystalline fi...
