Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
White graphene reinforced polypyrrole and poly(vinyl alcohol) blend nanocomposites as chemiresistive sensors for room temperature detection of liquid petroleum gases
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The authors describe the preparation of PVA/WPPy/hBNNP nanocomposite films by solution casting method from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy), and using hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (hBNNP) ...
Preparation and characterization of urea-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with paraffin oil
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Paraffin oil was encapsulated in a urea–formaldehyde polymer shell by in situ polymerization. The effect of modifying the fabrication parameters, specifically the emulsifier, the core material concentration, the stirring ...
Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigate the influence of gamma-irradiation (GI) doses from 0 up to 50 kGy on the polypropylene (PP) foams, mainly the impact on their structural and physical properties. It was found that structural properties ...
The Role of Key Impurity Elements on the Performance of Aluminium Electrolysis -Current Efficiency and Metal Quality
(
wiley
, 2016 , Book chapter)
The behaviour of phosphorus and silicon in industrial aluminium cells was measured in QATALUM cells by analysis of bath and metal after addition of AlPO4, Na3PO4 and SiO2 to the bath. Phosphorus showed a much longer retention ...
Sensitive detection and glycoprofiling of a prostate specific antigen using impedimetric assays
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
This study presents a proof-of-concept for the development of an impedimetric biosensor for ultra-sensitive glycoprofiling of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The biosensor exhibits three unique characteristics: (1) analysis ...
Polymethyl methacrylate–ovalbumin @ graphene oxide drug carrier system for high anti-proliferative cancer drug delivery
(
Springer Nature
, 2019 , Article)
High permeable drug delivery mechanism is indispensable for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. Protein-polymeric carriers have enhanced the permeability and therapeutic of bioactive compounds. Here, ...
Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
TiO2/Halloysite hybrid filler reinforced epoxy nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and SonsInc.
, 2018 , Article)
TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were used together to modify epoxy matrix. They were introduced into the matrix using two different approaches: (a) both TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were incorporated ...
