A simple and versatile nanoscale force induced precipitation approach for the separation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed. The AuNPs show sharp size-dependent colloidal stability thresholds as a function of salt concentration. Upon separation, the AuNPs were electrostatically self-assembled onto silicon substrates by fine-tuning interparticle and particle-substrate forces, forming 2D...

6.1 Literature review matrix Taha E. et al (2015) evaluated Diclofenac Sodium (DS) matrix tablets prepared by direct compression method under different compression forces using ethyl cellulose as matrix forming material. The produced tablets were characterized for hardness, friability, drug content, weight variations and in vitro drug release. Incompatibility study carried out using DSC FT-IR s...

In the title compound, C(22)H(27)NO(4), the mean planes of the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 73.54 (13)°. One of the methyl groups is disordered over two sites, with site occupation factors of 0.47 (15) and 0.53 (15). The crystal packing is controlled by van der Waals forces and a possible C-H⋯O inter-action, forming a chain running parallel to the a axis.

We show that the number of concentric graphene cylinders forming a carbon nanotube can be found by squeezing the tube between an atomic force microscope tip and a silicon substrate. The compressed height of a single-walled nanotube (double-walled nanotube) is approximately two (four) times the interlayer spacing of graphite. Measured compression forces are consistent with the predicted bending ...

Adhesion and friction are closely related and play a predominant role in many natural processes. From the wall-clinging feet of the gecko to bacteria forming a biofilm, in many cases adhesion is a necessity to survive. The direction in which forces are applied has shown to influence the bond strength of certain systems tremendously and can mean the difference between adhesion and detachment. Th...

Vasculogenesis and angiogenesis are two different mechanisms for blood vessel formation. Angiogenesis occurs when new vessels sprout from pre-existing vasculature in response to external chemical stimuli. Vasculogenesis occurs via the reorganization of randomly distributed cells into a blood vessel network. Experimental models of vasculogenesis have suggested that the cells exert traction force...

Micro-forming is a miniaturization technology with great potential for high productivity. Some technical challenges, however, need to be addressed before micro-forming becomes a commercially viable manufacturing process. These challenges include severe tribological conditions, difficulty in achieving desired tolerances, and short tool-life due to inability of available die materials to withstan...

The problem of forming a rotating ring-shaped tethered system consisting three nanosatellites is considered. To analyze the dynamics tether system, mathematical model developed in orbital coordinate using Lagrange method. Using sliding mode control method, two programs for deployment tethers are proposed, which tensions and thrust forces created by low-thrust engines used as controls. In first ...
