synthetic hydroxyapatite (ha) is the most helpful because of its similarity to natural bone in both crystalline structure and chemical composition. recently, fluoridated hydroxyapatite (fha) has been developed in dental and orthopedic application because it has lower solubility than pure ha, while maintaining the comparable bioactivity and biocompatibility. the aim of this study was to synthesi...

Michaelis-Arbuzov reactions of S-aryl disulfide derivatives of 3'-thiothymidine or 5'-thioadenosine with tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite proceeded in high yields to the corresponding phosphorothiolate monoesters. Subsequent hydrolytic desilylation and phosphate coupling were effected in one-pot using liquid-assisted grinding in a vibration ball mill. Novel 3',5'- and 5',5'-pyrophosphorothiolate-...

Article Type: Full Length Research Article This research highlighted the production of cellulase enzyme from isolated fungal strains and used this enzyme as potential refining agent in manufacturing security paper from cotton comber pulp. Twenty three fungal strains were isolated from soil samples collected from nearby wood based paper mill and screened for cellulolytic activity by Congo red pl...

This study showed pronounced changes in the Raman scattering of silicon powder during high-energy ball milling. The powders were milled for 1–18 h in a steel ball mill in argon. The approximate pressure imposed on particles was 2 GPa. The spectra of the as-milled powders were compared with the initial silicon. It was found from the Raman peak position shifts that milling generated strains in th...

We explore the effects of particle size and solvent environment on the thermodynamic stability of two pairs of polymorphs subjected to ball-mill neat grinding (NG) and liquid assisted grinding (LAG). Two systems were studied: (i) forms I and II of a 1 : 1 theophylline : benzamide cocrystal and (ii) forms A and B of an aromatic disulfide compound. For both systems, the most stable-bulk polymorph...

Ni and Cu elemental powder mixtures containing 25, 50, and 75% at Cu were subjected to mechanical alloying in a planetary ball mill under various milling times. Structural evolution was analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Experimental results indicated that nanostructured solid solution alloy powders having homogeneous distribution of Ni and Cu were formed b...

Abstract The grain size of clastic rocks is one the most important structural characteristics sediments, which can directly reflect hydrodynamic conditions ancient sedimentary period. preparation conventional rock particle samples usually done by hand wet grinding with a hammer experienced experimenter. For fine-grained rocks, method for preparing has disadvantages long time and low efficiency....
