A novel method of preparing the macrporous nickel coating was described. The macrporous nickel coating was fabricated by employing nano-silica as the template. The effects of technological conditions and the concentration of the additives on the surface quality of coating were investigated, the nano-silica was characterized transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and laser particle size analyzer...

A facile method to prepare a polar stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was proposed by coating polyvinyl alcohol onto silica particles (PVA-Sil). A water or organic solvent-insoluble permanent PVA coating on the silica particle surface can be formed simply by dipping silica particles into a hot PVA solution and then settled from this solution, leaving a thin laye...

The reactive tissue response of the brain to chronically implanted materials remains a formidable obstacle to stable recording from implanted microelectrodes. One approach to mitigate this response is to apply a bioactive coating in the form of an ultra-porous silica sol-gel, which can be engineered to improve biocompatibility and to enable local drug delivery. The first step in establishing th...

in this research controlled coating of magnetite (fe3o4) nanoparticles with sio2 was investigated. the fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation and then coated by silica according to stober method. effects of tetra ethyl ortho silicate (teos) concentration and ethanol to teos on the coating thickness were investigated. x-ray powder diffraction, fourier transform infrar...

the idea of smart corrosion inhibition is basis on either inhibitor consumption where it is needed or reducing harmful matrix interaction with it. in addition, applying corrosion inhibitor in a coating causes many problems such as loss of inhibition capability, coating degradation, or both. a useful technique to overcome this problem is applying of inert host systems of nanometer dimensions as ...

Immediate loading of dental implants is only possible if a firm bone-implant anchorage at early stages is developed. This implies early and high bone apposition onto the implant surface. A nanostructured coating material based on an osseoinductive bone grafting is investigated in relation to the osseointegration at early stages. The goal is to transmit the structure (silica matrix with embedded...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tribochemical silica coating and silane surface conditioning on the bond strength of rebonded metal and ceramic brackets. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty debonded metal and 20 debonded ceramic brackets were randomly assigned to receive one of the following surface treatments (n=10 for each group): (1) sandblasting (control); (2) tribo...

Coating and encapsulation of fine particles with polymer using a supercritical antisolvent (SAS) coating process was investigated in this research. Synthesized submicron silica particles were used as host particles and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer used for controlled release of drugs, was chosen as the coating material. In the SAS coating process a suspension of si...
