Scanning Probe Microscopy has been routinely employed as a surface characterization technique for nearly 20 years. Atomic Force Microscopy is the most widely used subset of SPM, which can be used in ambient conditions with minimum sample preparation. AFM is able to measure three-dimensional topography information from the angstrom level to the micron scale with unprecedented resolution. This pa...

the growing interest in using natural fibers as reinforcing agents of polymer-based composites is mainly due to their advantages such as lower cost, lower density, ease of preparation, lower energy requirements for processing, biodegradability, wide availability and relative non-abrasiveness over traditional reinforcing fibers such as glass and carbon. in this study, wood-plastic composite (wpc...

BACKGROUND Ethanol injection is widely used in liposome preparation. However, the parameters determining particle size distribution of the liposomal preparation has not been fully defined. MATERIALS AND METHODS A syringe pump-driven microfluidic injection device was used to produce liposomes under different conditions. RESULTS Particle size of the liposomes was decreased with decrease in ne...

With the increasingly development of automobile, electronics, aviation, spaceflight and other industries, it has put forward higher and higher requirements on the quality of molybdenum powder metallurgy products. Therefore, it is required that molybdenum powder should have better performance in chemical composition, physical morphology, average particle size, particle size distribution, apparen...
