In this study, we have reported the green synthesis magnesium ferrite using tragacanth gel by the sol-gel method without using any organic chemicals. The sample was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the fo...

Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 nanorods with diameters of 90±10nm and lengths of more than 2μms were prepared by a simple route at ~75oC in ambient air. The approach is based on reaction of magnesium powder and de-ionized water without the use of any harmful, toxic or corrosive reagents. Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows single crystalline structure of Mg(O...

Magnesium has been recently recognized as a biodegradation metal for bone substitute application. In the present work, porous magnesium-zinc scaffolds were prepared by powder metallurgical process and nano hydroxyapatite (HAP) coating on the Mg-3Zn (wt.%) scaffold was prepared by pulse electrodeposition and alkali treatment processes to improve the corrosion resistance of scaffold. The results ...

Generating hydrogen through hydrolysis of metal magnesium with water is a very promising strategy for portable applications because it clean, has high energy density and operability. In the present study, purity ultrafine Mg powder was prepared using close-coupled gas atomization. Thereafter, microstructure investigated X-ray diffraction scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that inc...

Barrier paper, which is made of bleached absorbent kraft pulp, is a significant layer of decorative laminates, since it controls the see-through of brown color of saturating kraft paper and its opacifying effect usually is achieved by a heavy loading of TiO2. The TiO2, due to its very small particle size, passes between the cellulosic fibers and drains into the white water. To overcome this pro...

PURPOSE This paper is focused on the works concerning preparation of zirconium oxide ceramic blocks recommended for CAD/CAM systems used in prosthetic dentistry for manufacturing fixed prosthetic restorations. METHODS Zirconium-yttrium-magnesium mixed ceramic oxides were prepared by sol-gel method via hydrolysis and condensation of zirconium alkoxide precursor (zirconium (IV) propoxide) with ...

In the field of orthopedics, magnesium (Mg) and magnesium-based composites as biodegradable materials have attracted fundamental research. However, the medical applications of magnesium implants have been restricted owing to their poor corrosion resistance, especially in the physiological environment. To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg/HA/TiO2 nanocomposites, monolayer MgO and double-lay...

Lubrication plays a key role in successful manufacturing of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms; lubricants are essential ingredients in robust formulations to achieve this. Although many failures in pharmaceutical manufacturing operations are caused by issues related to lubrication, in general, lubricants do not gain adequate attention in the development of pharmaceutical formulations. In this p...

Shirasuboshi (boiled and semi-dried whitebait) is a processed fish food that contains abundant calcium. It is eaten whole and commonly consumed in Japan. In this study, the effect of sudachi (Citrus sudachi) juice on calcium, magnesium and phosphorus bioavailability, and bone metabolism in rats was examined. After 14 d of diets low in calcium and phosphorus, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed sh...
