Cost-effective and scalable preparation of two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been the bottleneck that limits their applications. This paper reports a novel coupled ultrasonication-milling (CUM) process to exfoliate natural molybdenite powders to achieve few-layer MoS2 (FL-MoS2) nanosheets in the solvent of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) molecules...

Large-scale production of uniform and high-quality graphene is required for practical applications of graphene. The electrochemical exfoliation method is considered as a promising approach for the practical production of graphene. However, the relatively low production rate of graphene currently hinders its usage. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, a rapid and high-yield approach to exfo...

purpose : to evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) and central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (xfs) methods : in this comparative case series we measures rnfl thickness and cct 30 patients with xfs and 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects who met the inclusion criteria. results : average rnfl in xfs group were significantly thinner than controls (94.36±...

Lead-free piezoelectric (Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 (BNT) films were deposited on 1 mm thick pure titanium(Ti) substrates by a hydrothermal method. Tensile tests were performed to quantitatively assess the adhesion strength between BNT films and Ti substrates. Ti substrates were pretreated by chemical polish and mechanical polish respectively prior to BNT film deposition. In the tensile test, the behavior...

THE NORMAL EXFOLIATION PROCESS Exfoliation occurs naturally as outworn stratum corneum cells detach and are removed from the skin’s surface. Replacement of stratum corneum cells occurs by a self-renewal process as epidermal cells move upward from the basal layer, the stratum basalis, and through the subsequent two layers, the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum, to reach the stratum corneum...
