The purpose of this study was to develop novel nanoscale biosensors using titania nanotubes (TNTs) made by anodization. Titania nanotubes were produced on pure titanium sheets by anodization at room temperature. In this research, the electrolyte composition ethylene glycol 250 mL/NH4F 1.5 g/DI water 20 mL was found to produce the best titania nanotubes array films for application in amperometri...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) with highly exposed {001} facets was synthesized through a facile solvo-thermal method and its surface was decorated by using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The morphology and chemical composition of the prepared rGO/TiO2 {001} nanocomposite were examined by using suitable characterization techniques. The rGO/TiO2 {001} nanocomposite was used to modify glassy carbo...

Modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) for H2 generation is a grand challenge due to its high chemical inertness, large bandgap, narrow light-response range and rapid recombination of electrons and holes. Herein, we report a simple process to prepare nanospherical like reduced graphene oxide (NS-rGO) decorated TiO2 nanoparticles (NS-rGO/TiO2) as photocatalysts. This modified TiO2 sample exhibi...

The laser cleaning process has the potential to become an alternative existing chemical-based if integrated with effective in-process monitoring system that could serve as a control mechanism over surface damages or contaminants through which desired cleanliness be achieved. This paper presents results of investigation into characteristics and viability utilizing probe beam reflection (PBR) plu...

Background: orbital floor fractures have not been reconstructed using magnesium biomaterials. Methods: To test technical feasibility, ex vivo caprine and ovine heads (n = 5) were used. Head tissues harvested from pubescent animals 5; mean age: 3.2 years; mass: 26.3 kg) stored below 11 degrees for 7–10 days. All procedures performed in a university animal resource facility. Two experienced maxil...

low carbon steel samples were both shot into and inoculated with titanium in order to improve mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. sem observations and x-ray analyses revealed that titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride precipitates being scattered in the ferrite substrate reduce the grain size in all as-cast, heat-treated and as-rolled cases. the growth of the grains at hi...
