Chiral Tartaric Acid Improves Fracture Toughness of Bioactive Brushite-Collagen Bone Cements
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)Brushite cements are promising bone regeneration materials with limited biological and mechanical properties. Here, we engineer a mechanically improved brushite-collagen type I cement with enhanced biological properties ... -
Effect of blend ratio and nanofiller localization on the thermal degradation of graphite nanoplatelets-modified PLA/PCL
( Springer Netherlands , 2019 , Article)A variety of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) samples with different PLA:PCL ratios, containing different contents of graphite nanoplatelets (GrP), were analysed in a thermogravimetric analyser (TG) under, ... -
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ... -
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
( Wiley , 2016 , Article)The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ... -
Membrane Distillation Crystallization Hybrid Process for Zero Liquid Discharge in QAFCO Plant
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Qatar fertilizer company (QAFCO) is one of the world’s largest single site producer of ammonia and urea with production capacity of 12,900 metric tons per day. Currently, QAFCO faces major challenges in terms of water ... -
Mesoporous TiO2 Mesocrystals: Remarkable Defects-Induced Crystallite-Interface Reactivity and Their in Situ Conversion to Single Crystals
( American Chemical Society , 2015 , Article)Oriented self-assembly between inorganic nanocrystals and surfactants is emerging as a route for obtaining new mesocrystalline semiconductors. However, the actual synthesis of mesoporous semiconductor mesocrystals with ... -
Selective Crystal Growth Regulation by Chiral α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids Improves the Strength and Toughness of Calcium Sulfate Cements
( American Chemical Society , 2020 , Article)Natural biominerals, such as bones and teeth, use acidic matrix biomolecules to control growth, morphology, and organization of the brittle hydroxyapatite crystals. This interplay provides biominerals with outstanding ...
