Halogen-free flame-retardant compounds. Thermal decomposition and flammability behavior for alternative polyethylene grades
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The effect of six halogen-free flame retardant (FR) formulations was investigated on the thermal stability of two low-density polyethylenes (LDPE) and one linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), by means of thermogravimetric ...
Self-repairing composites for corrosion protection: A review on recent strategies and evaluation methods
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
The use of self-healing coatings to protect metal substrates, such as aluminum alloys, stainless steel, carbon steel, and Mg alloys from corrosion is an important aspect for protecting metals and for the economy. During ...
Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Glycan analysis as biomarkers for testicular cancer
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force does not recommend routine screening for testicular cancer (TC) in asymptomatic men, essentially because serological testicular cancer (TC) biomarkers are not reliable. The main ...
Synthesis and evaluation of copper-supported titanium oxide nanotubes as electrocatalyst for the electrochemical reduction of carbon oxide to organics
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is considered as the prime reason for the global warming effect and one of the useful ways to transform it into an array of valuable products is through electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERC). This ...
Synthesis and properties of polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules reinforced smart coatings
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
The present research work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and properties of novel polyelectrolyte multilayered microcapsules used as smart additives in organic coatings for corrosion protection of steel parts. ...
Sunlight-Driven Combustion Synthesis of Defective Metal Oxide Nanostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures through combustion routes is a promising technique owing to its simplicity, rapidity, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Herein, a sunlight-driven combustion approach is developed ...
A graphene-based glycan biosensor for electrochemical label-free detection of a tumor-associated antibody
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The study describes development of a glycan biosensor for detection of a tumor-associated antibody. The glycan biosensor is built on an electrochemically activated/oxidized graphene screen-printed electrode (GSPE). Oxygen ...
Data on the catalytic CO oxidation and CO2 reduction durability on gC3N4 nanotubes Co-doped atomically with Pd and Cu
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Understanding the fabrication mechanism of graphitic carbon nitride (gC3N4) nanostructures is critical for tailoring their physicochemical properties for various catalytic applications. In this article, we provide deep ...
CD28 Superagonistic Activation of T Cells Induces a Tumor Cell-Like Metabolic Program
(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
CD28 superagonist (CD28SA), a therapeutic immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody triggered rapid and exaggerated activation of CD4+ effector memory T cells (TEMs) in humans with unwanted serious adverse effects. It is well ...
