this article presents an experimental investigation on effects of morphology of nanoparticles on the viscosity nanofluids (nfs). water and ethylene glycol were used as base fluids. a two step method was used for preparation of nfs. sio2 nanoparticles, cnt and graphene nano sheets were dispersed in the base fluids separately with the volume fraction ranging from 0.05% to 1.5%. stability of the n...

Background: Activated normal platelets undergo many biochemical and morphological changes, some of which are apoptotic. Platelet derived microparticles and shrinked platelets as hallmark of platelet activation and apoptosis disperse surfaces containing procoagulant activity around injured vessels and tissues. This study was conducted to determine microparticles formation and platelet shrinkage ...

A decade after the discovery of graphene flakes, exfoliated from graphite, we have now secured large scale and high quality graphene film growth technology via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. With the establishment of mass production of graphene using CVD, practical applications of graphene to electronic devices have gained an enormous amount of attention. However, several issues aris...

Abstract In this study, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used to establish a nonlinear dynamic model for conical shell truncated by functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC). The vibration analyses of FG-GPLRC are presented. Considering platelets (GPLs) with three different distribution patterns, modified Halpin-Tsai calculate effective Young’s modu...

Stoichoimetric graphene fluoride monolayers are obtained in a single step by the liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite fluoride with sulfolane. Comparative quantum-mechanical calculations reveal that graphene fluoride is the most thermodynamically stable of five studied hypothetical graphene derivatives; graphane, graphene fluoride, bromide, chloride, and iodide. The graphene fluoride is transfo...

this paper proposed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of rectangular single-layered graphene sheets under in-plane loading on all edges simply is supported. the characteristic equations of the graphene sheets are derived and the analysis formula is based on the nonlocal mindlin plate. this theory is considering both the small length scale effects and transverse shear deformation ef...

fuel cells, secondary batteries and capacitors are among many promising energy storage devices. in particular, supercapacitors have attracted much attention because of their long life cycle and high power density. graphene/nickel ferrite(g-nf) based supercapacitors were successfully fabricated through a one-step facile solvothermal route. effects of synthesis conditions i.e. solvothermal time a...

The objective of this study is to design a graphene-based miRNA transfection drug delivery system for antiresorptive therapy. An efficient nonviral gene delivery system is developed using polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalized graphene oxide (GO) complex loaded with miR-7b overexpression plasmid. GO-PEI complex exhibits excellent transfection efficiency within the acceptable range of cytotoxicit...
