چکیده

Alginic acid was converted to a variety of ammonium alginate derivatives carrying diverse chemical cargo such as analgesics, antibiotics, and enzymes. These functional polymers could be fashioned into nanofibrous mats by electrostatic spinning. The therapeutic payload could be released in functional form by a simple ion exchange mechanism. Prospects in wound healing are discussed.

electro - spinnability of alginate solutions containing gold precursor HAuCl

Alginate nanofibers with an average diameter of 75 nm have been prepared by the electrospinning process. In addition, the spinnability of the solutions in the presence of the gold precursor HAuCl4 was investigated. At low concentrations of HAuCl4 well-formed nanofibers were produced, whereas as its concentration increases the nanofibrous mats present an increased number of bead-like defects. He...

Rail Damage Potentials of Sloshing Cargo

In this paper a two-degree-of-freedom model representing the sprung mass and the sloshing cargo in a vehicle is proposed to study the dynamic interaction of a sloshing cargo and the carrying vehicle, to simulate the dynamic wheel forces on the rails as a result of lateral perturbations derived from turnings along the railway path and the resultant cargo sloshing. The use of the Fourth- and T...
