single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mwcnt) were melt-blended with polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf).ft-ir technique revealed that swcnt has insignificant effect on the crystalline structure of pvdf and at 3wt% modification only 14% beta crystal isformed. this observation was accounted for by the chair structure of swcnt. in mwcnt nancomposites it was found that...

ADAM metalloprotease-disintegrins share a common modular structure of functional domains for proteolytic, cell adhesion, and signaling interactions. The metalloprotease domain of oughly half of the known ADAMs contain an intact consensus metzincin catalytic site, and they are thus thought to function as active metalloproteases. The types of interactions mediated by ADAMs are expressly conspicu...

some properties of compounds in degrading bacteria are required for biodegradation of contaminants to higher performance. those strains which have a high percentage of these features are more effective at biodegradation. the present experiments were designed to measure these parameters. in this study, measurement of cell surface hydrophobic-degrading bacteria was designed which oil was separate...

Objective(s):Anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. We have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of H9C2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  Materials and Methods: Surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Contro...

A solar cell is an electronic device which not only harvests photovoltaic effect but also transforms light energy into electricity. In photovoltaic phenomenon, a P-N junction is created to form an empty region.  The presented paper aims at proposing a new highly efficient InGaN/Si double-junction solar cell structure. This cell is designed to be used in a real environmental situation, so only s...

We have used our ability to control beta-peptide secondary structure in order to explore the effects of conformational stability and geometry of guanidinium display on cell entry. Both of these factors affect the rate and relative amount of beta-peptide accumulation in the cytoplasm and nucleus of live HeLa cells. These beta-peptides do not show significant differences in cell surface binding, ...

Abstract This article presents a process for producing LiNi 1-x Al x O 2 (0 < × 0.05) cathode material with high capacity and enhanced cycle properties of 145 mAh/g after 600 cycles. The is prepared by mixing coprecipitated Ni(OH) LiOH Al(OH) 3 , followed lithiation at temperature range 650–710 °C, which any residual lithium from washed the particle surfaces. Electrochemical performance was ...
