Laser stripping is a process which typically includes different forms of ablation phenomena. The presented work investigates mechanical using high pressure laser-induced shock waves in water confined regime. Power density studied as parameter for selective laser on painted specimens and adhesion relations with single layer epoxy targets. A flashlamp-pumped Nd:YAG fixed spot size (4 mm) shot sev...

Abstract:Nanostructured titania was synthesized by colloidal and polymeric sol-gel routes. Stable colloidal and polymeric titania sols were prepared by adjusting the proper values of the acid/alkoxide and the water/alkoxide molar ratios. The properties of sols were determined by dynamic light scattering technique and synthesized titania was characterized by thermogravimetry and differential the...

In this paper, we reported high speed optical test on polymeric optical waveguide array with embedded 45 masculine micro-mirrors on flexible substrate for out-of-plane optical interconnects. The waveguide array was bent with curvature ranging from 61 mm to 5mm. As the bending radius decreases, the average insertion loss increases from 3.4 dB to 7.7 dB for single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling and fr...

Abstract We investigated the effects of substrate (cellulose or starch) and different clay contents on production microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) concomitant development stable soil aggregates. Soils were incubated with amounts montmorillonite (+ 0.1%, + 1%, 10%) both without two substrates contrasting quality (starch cellulose). Microbial respiration (CO 2 ), biomass carbon ...

Magnesium (Mg) alloys show promise in biomedical implants due to their excellent mechanical strength, biocompatibility and biodegradability. However, rapid degradation rates vivo induce toxicity reduce strength thereby, limiting widespread usage. Our group employs a 3D inkjet printing technique for polymeric surface modification of bioresorbable AZ31 Mg alloy towards corrosion control. Thin fil...

3D-printed conductive structures are highly attractive due to their great potential for customizable electronic devices. While the traditional 3D printing of metal requires high temperatures sinter powders or polymer/metal composites, low room temperature processes will be advantageous enable multi-material deposition and integration optoelectronic applications. Herein, digital light processing...

In this work, the copolymer-based synthesized Cysteine-loaded nanocarriers prepared by a routine protocol, coprecipitation method. It is the first report to investigate the neuroprotective potential and biocompatibility of Cysteine derivatives loaded into poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε−caprolactone) methyl ether (PEG-b-PCL). The average size of the polymeric/empty NCs was 89 nm and for poly...
