Development of novel biomaterials with Mg(2+), Ca(2+), and silicate ions releasability for bone regeneration is now in progress. Several inorganic ions have been reported to stimulate bone-forming cells. We featured Ca(2+), silicate, and especially, Mg(2+) ions as growth factors for osteoblasts. Various biomaterials, such as ceramic powders and organic-inorganic composites, that release the ion...

Like Phenol (C 6 H 5 OH) and Urea {(NH 2 ) 2 C=O)}, Furfuryl alcohol (C 4 H 3 OCH 2 OH), a product of agricultural origin is capable of polymerization with Formaldehyde (H 2 C = 0) under suitable PH conditions. However, usable polymers, at least as no bake for Foundry applications are obtained only when the condensations are carried out in association with Urea, Phenol or both. The series of re...

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a fast and simple technique for functional group identification. This work provides review insight into the application interpretation of FTIR cementitious binders that comprise ordinary Portland cement, alkaline-activated binders, geopolymers, material characterization civil engineering applications. can be used to identify different compounds ...

The inorganic compounds, lithium polysilicate (Li 2 Si 5 O 11 ), sodium polyphosphate ((NaPO 3 ) n and phosphate monobasic (H LiPO 4 were investigated as the sole binders in Si-alloy graphite electrodes for Li cells. Surprisingly, coating quality cycling performance of anodes with these is similar to those using state art polyacrylate (LiPAA) organic binder. Graphite show good despite having po...

Alkali activated binders are a new class of binding material with comparable or enhanced performance to Portland cement. These binding materials are obtained by a chemical reaction between an alumino-silicate material and a highly alkaline solution. In most cases, the setting-hardening process of this binder is performed at high curing temperatures. In this paper, alkali activated mortars based...

Cell surface peptide display systems are large and diverse libraries of peptides (7-15 amino acids) which are presented by a display scaffold hosted by a phage (virus), bacteria, or yeast cell. This allows the selfsustaining peptide libraries to be rapidly screened for high affinity binders to a given target of interest, and those binders quickly identified. Peptide display systems have traditi...

Foundry sand cores based on organic binders have required tensile, compressive, and bending breaking points, as well an excellent knocking‑out ability. However, increased requirements for the environmental friendliness of foundry led to a renewed interest in inorganic including sand‑liquid‑glass core‑making technology. are significantly inferior terms ability due using sufficiently large mass f...
