By referring to the domestic and foreign researches on color anti-skid pavement, composition of epoxy resin coating material for antiskid pavement is designed. The purpose experiment analyze effect nano-modified by adding 2.5% nano-organic montmorillonite modifier existing surface material. Test compare change mechanical properties binder before after nano-modified. Then nano-modification analy...

A potentially useful means of predicting the pulmonary risk posed by new forms of nano-structured titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) is to use the associations between the physicochemical properties and pulmonary toxicity of characterized forms of TiO2. In the present study, we conducted intratracheal administration studies in rats to clarify the associations between the physicochemical characteristi...

Diamond coatings made by processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have been increasingly explored for cutting tools applications, in particular, for machining lightweight high-strength materials. However, most literature to date reported that the wear resistance of CVD diamond tools is still distant to the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) counterparts. Recently, a microwave plasma-assiste...

Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor for solar cells [ 1–4 ] and has also shown promising performances in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells for hydrogen production. [ 5–10 ] Silicon photoelectrodes with nano/micro structures such as nano/ micro wire array [ 9,11 ] and black silicon [ 7 ] have exhibited improved PEC performances. Silicon nanowire (NW) arrays, in particular, are of consid...

Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) is a well investigated high temperature aerosol technique for synthesizing nano-sized metal oxide catalysts of almost all metals and transition metals by gas-to-particle conversion (Teoh et al. 2010). However, specific designs of multi-component catalysts and the controlled dispersion of catalytic material on the support are limited with this approach. Double Flame S...

To elucidate the efficacy of different soy protein sources on piglet’s performance, a total of 280 weaned piglets (Duroc×Yorkshire×Landrace, 23±3 d of age, 5.86±0.45 kg initial BW) were allotted to 5 treatment diets comprising soybean meal (SBM), soy protein concentrate (SPC), Hamlet protein (HP300), fungal (Aspergillus oryzae) fermented soy protein (FSP-A), and fungal plus bacterial (A. oryzae...

The objective of this study was to evaluate fluoride release amounts and patterns from high strength tooth filling material (EQUIATM) which is a conventional Glass Ionomer Cement, and investigate whether the application of nano-filled resin-based coating with different thicknesses has any effect on fluoride release from this new material. A total of 120 disc shaped specimens (10 x 2 mm) of EQUI...

Objective(s): Scaffolds are considered as biological substitutes in bone defects which improve and accelerate the healing process of surrounding tissue. In recent years a major challenge in biomaterials is to produce porous materials with properties similar to bone tissue. In this study, the natural bioactive hydroxyapatite scaffolds with nano Diopside /Forstrite coating was successfully synthe...

The present work introduces the first decentralized secure funds transfer protocol with multiple participants. The protocol guarantees that a participant only loses money if a trusted peer happens to be corrupt. Furthermore, the loss is limited to the amount of credit given to that partner. The protocol supports expiration times for payment orders, and takes into consideration actual network qu...

Environmentally friendly routes from “Power-to-X” (P2X) technologies to sustainably harvest and store renewable energy with net-zero CO2 emission are imperative. The concept of P2X relies on (photo)electrolysis earth-abundant molecules into value-added products. For practical utilization, engineering robust, active, albeit inexpensive (photo)electrocatalysts via industrially compatible is indee...
