nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (aao) has been used in many different fields of science and technology, due to its great structural characteristics. solar selective surface is an important application of this type porous material. this paper investigates the effect of nanoporous aao properties, including; film thickness, pore area percentage and pore diameter, on absorption spectra in the rang...

Bulk quantities of electrically conducting nanotubes of polypyrrole having narrow pore diameter (6 nm) can be synthesized rapidly by chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of V2O5 nanofibers. The V2O5 nanofibers act as templates for polymerization and yield, as the initial product, polypyrrole nanotubes with pores filled with V2O5. The V2O5 dissol...

a simple method for fabrication of highly ordered gold nanorod film is introduced in this article. the procedure is based on thermal evaporation of gold into a porous anodic alumina film (paa). the ppa film was fabricated by combining the hard and mild anodization. this combination effectively decreases the processing time of fabrication of highly ordered porous anodic alumina film with control...

in vascular plants, the soil solution is transported from the roots to the leaves through smalldiameter vessels found in the xylem; this transport not only allows the nutrient uptake but also the accumulation of heavy metals in their shoots. by analogy to this phenomenon, the present study aimed at the evaluation of heavy metals transport (pb, cr, as, cd, zn, ni and al) in ph 4 and ph 8 solutio...

Design of 3D scaffolds that can facilitate proper survival, proliferation, and differentiation of progenitor cells is a challenge for clinical applications involving large connective tissue defects. Cell migration within such scaffolds is a critical process governing tissue integration. Here, we examine effects of scaffold pore diameter, in concert with matrix stiffness and adhesivity, as indep...
