The development of high-performance solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for producing all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with high safety and energy density. However, the low ionic conductivity their unstable electrolyte/electrode interfaces have hindered widespread utilization. To address these critical challenges, a strong Lewis acid (aluminum fluoride (AlF3)) dual functionality introd...

A novel annexin V derivative (Cys-Annexin V) with a single cysteine residue at its C-terminal has been successfully labeled site-specifically with NOTA-maleimide aluminum [18F]fluoride complexation and evaluated it as a novel apoptosis agent in vitro and in vivo. The total synthesis time of 18F-AlF-NOTA-MAL-Cys-Annexin V from [18F]fluoride was about 65 min. The tracer was stable in vitro and it...

In this paper, a 60 nm-thick ferroelectric film of poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) on a flexible substrate of aluminum foil was fabricated and characterized. Compared to pristine silicon wafer, Al-foil has very large root-mean-square (RMS) roughness, thus presenting challenges for the fabrication of flat and uniform electronic devices on such a rough substrate. In particular, RMS ro...

Fluoride excess in water represents an environmental issue and a risk for human health since it can cause several diseases, such as fluorosis, osteoporosis, damage of the nervous system. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) be exploited to remove this contaminant from by taking advantage their high ion-exchange capability. LDHs are generally mixed with polluted form powders, which then problem unea...

There is compelling evidence from a multitude of studies of various design indicating that foodborne excitotoxin additives can elevate blood and brain glutamate to levels known to cause neurodegeneration and in the developing brain, abnormal connectivity. Excitotoxins are also secreted by microglial activation when they are in an activated state. Recent studies, discussed in part 1 of this arti...

NEUROTOXIC EFFECTS OF FLUORIDE SUMMARY: This issue of Fluoride contains three new reports on fluoride (F) and neurotoxicity. A study of neurotoxic effects of F in aluminum potroom workers in Iran shows the importance of neurobehavioral testing for the early detection of cognitive impairment in workers occupationally exposed to airborne F. Two studies, from Iran and India, examined the IQ of chi...

In this paper we present a comprehensive report on the issues found during manufacturing of high-yield CMOS-MEMS sensors based vapor-phase hydrogen fluoride (vapor- HF) oxide etching. During study have identified main affecting regarding silicon as sacrificial material, passivation release mask, BEOL structural material for MEMS design and aluminum-sputtering sealing layer cavity. This has been...

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are restorative materials, which clinical use has increased significantly during the last decade. The aim of the present study was to analyze the chemical constitution and surface morphology of four glass ionomer cements: Maxxion R, VitroFill, Vidrion R and Vitremer. Twelve polyethylene tubes with an internal diameter of 3 and 3 mm in length were prepared, filled an...

tea is the second most commonly consumed beverage world wide. tea ( camellia sinensis ) is a naturally rich source of fluoride. the quantity of fluoride intake is important in optimizing its dental caries-preventive role. intense concentration of fluoride in tea, can lead to excessive fluoride intake which may cause health problems in turn. the measurement of fluoride intake usually requires in...
