Growth of ZnO Nanorods on Stainless Steel Wire Using Chemical Vapour Deposition and Their Photocatalytic Activity

The photodegradation efficiency of ZnO nanoparticles in removal of organic pollutants deteriorates over time as a high percentage of the nanoparticles can be drained away by water during the wastewater treatment. This problem can be solved by growing the ZnO nanorods on stainless steel wire. In this work, ZnO nanorods were successfully grown on stainless steel wire by chemical vapour deposition...

Stainless steel wire suture technique in thoracic surgery.

Before embarking upon any new surgical procedure or technique three conditions need to be fulfilled. First, it must be shown to be necessary, secondly, there must be sufficient experimental evidence to justify a trial of the new method; and tlhirdly, any advantage the new may appear to have over the old must be shown to possess statistical significance before its final adoption is justified, un...

Characterisation of severely deformed austenitic stainless steel wire

The microstructure of 8 mm diameter wire produced by the severe deformation of 316L austenitic stainless steel has been examined using TEM and X-ray diffraction. The deformation imparted amounts to a true strain of 6.3. Data from previous studies on strain induced transformation of this steel have been combined with new results to show that true strains .2 are required in order to observe mecha...

Growth inhibition of cultured smooth muscle cells by corrosion products of 316 L stainless steel wire.

The potential cytotoxicity on vascular smooth muscle cells of corrosion products from 316 L stainless steel, one of most popular biomaterials of intravascular stents, has not been highlighted. In this investigation, 316 L stainless steel wires were corroded in Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium with applied constant electrochemical breakdown voltage, and the supernatant and precipitates of corr...
