Background Methylprednisolone (MPS) is an important drug used in therapy of many diseases. However, osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a serious damage in the MPS treatment. Thus, it is imperative to develop new drugs to prevent the serious side effect of MPS. Methods The potential interferences Se@SiO2 nanocomposites may have to the therapeutic effect of methylprednisolone (MPS) were evalu...

In this paper, the optical properties of the multilayer rugate filter by structure of (HL) ^ 9Hhas been investigated. Here the reflection, optical density and electric field strength of designed filter by using four materials of Ta2O2, Nb2O5 and ZnS as the materials with high refractive indexandSiO2as a material with low refractive index are compared with each other. Finally, it is realized tha...

In this article, we have fabricated and studied a new multilayer structure Si-SiO2/SiNx by reactive magnetron sputtering. The comparison between SiO2 and SiNx host matrices in the optical properties of the multilayers is detailed. Structural analysis was made on the multilayer structures using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of specific annealing treatments on the optical pr...

The novel SiO2 net-like nanobelts have been successfully fabricated on Au-coated Si substrates by a simple thermal evaporation of CdS powder. The as-synthesized SiO2 nanostructures were characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The as-grown SiO2 net-like nanobelts are rather uniformly...

This paper reports the inhibition efficiency of a family of polyaminoamide (PAMAM) STARBURST® dendrimers in colloidal SiO2 growth. PAMAMs of various generations (0.5, 1.5, 2.5 with –COOH termini, and 1, and 2 with –NH2 termini) were tested and compared to control samples. Superiority of the dendrimer inhibitors with –NH2 termini (maintaining∼380 ppm soluble SiO2 after 12 h) versus those with –C...

SiO2 coated γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite powder has been successfully synthesized by chemical vapor condensation process and its feasibility on hyperthermic application was investigated in this study. The power loss of SiO2 coated γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite powder which means the magnetic heating effect under alternative magnetic field was much higher than the single phase γ-Fe2O3 nano powder due to the ve...

nano-sbcl5.sio2 and sbcl5.sio2 are bench-top catalysts which are reusable, readily available, versatile andefficient for promotion of many acid catalyzed organic reactions. these catalysts do not need specialprecautions for preparation, handling or storage, and they can be stored at an ambient temperature for monthswithout losing their catalytic activity. 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones(thiones) ...

We theoretically propose and investigate a TM-polarized one-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavity with a horizontal SiO2 slot on a suspended silicon nanobeam via the three-dimensional finite-element method. The ultrahigh quality factor and ultrasmall effective mode volume of 1.5×10(7) and 0.176 half-wavelength cubic of the horizontally SiO2-slotted nanocavity show strong possibilities for rea...

We employ first-principles density functional calculations to explore atomic-level interactions and predict the ideal work of adhesion at the SiO2/nickel and ZrO2/SiO2 interfaces. We find that chemical bonding at the interface serves to strengthen significantly interfaces formed with SiO2, which exhibits significant covalent bonding character, relative to those formed using more ionic oxides, s...
