Ultrasensitive Ti3C2TX MXene/chitosan nanocomposite-based amperometric biosensor for detection of potential prostate cancer marker in urine samples
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Two-dimensional layered nanomaterial Ti3C2TX (a member of the MXene family) was used to immobilise enzyme sarcosine oxidase to fabricate a nanostructured biosensor. The device was applied for detection of sarcosine, a ...
Impact of surface coating on electrochemical and thermal behaviors of a Li-rich Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 cathode
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Lithium-rich layered oxide materials are considered as potential cathode materials for future high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high operating voltage and relatively high specific capacity. ...
Understanding the Nature of Capacity Decay and Interface Properties in Li//LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cells by Cycling Aging and Titration Techniques
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
The spinel structure LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is a propitious cathode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for fast charge-discharge applications, but its capacity decay mechanism and rate-limiting process are ...
Surface functionalization of a polyurethane surface via radio-frequency cold plasma treatment using different gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Herein, the surface treatment of polyurethane (PU) films via air, O2, N2, Ar, and their mixtures were tested. The treatment was performed to incorporate new polar functionalities on the polymer surface and achieve improved ...
Antimicrobial modification of PLA scaffolds with ascorbic and fumaric acids via plasma treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
An optimal medical scaffold should be biocompatible and biodegradable and should have adequate mechanical properties and scaffold architecture porosity, a precise three-dimensional shape, and a reasonable manufacturing ...
Dry sliding tribological properties of a hard anodized aa6082 aluminum alloy
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The applications of aluminum and its alloys are still limited by low hardness and low wear resistance properties. Surface modifications, such anodizing and plasma electrolytic oxidation, represent a feasible way to overcome ...
Electrospun Polystyrene/PANI-Ag fibers for organic dye removal and antibacterial application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Herein we report superior dye-degradation performance for polyaniline-silver (PANI-Ag) nanoparticle coated on polystyrene (PS) electrospun membrane by in situ-polymerization method. Morphological study of the coated membrane ...
Fabrication of flexible electrically conductive polymer-based micropatterns using plasma discharge
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this work, laboratory prepared PANI and it's composite with carbon nanotubes (PANI/CNTs) were used for the fabrication of micropatterns on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using the drop cast method ...
Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and ...
Nutrient retention and release from raw exhausted grape marc biochars and an amended agricultural soil: Static and dynamic investigation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Biochar is the solid by-product of biomass thermochemical conversion via pyrolysis technique. Biochar addition to croplands as an organic amendment can improve soil properties and increase agricultural productivity. However, ...
